TRY TOPO|SON WHOLE FAMILY Seems That the Hosey Fam ily's Troubles Have
 Just Begun

Cullman, June .-(Special)-From the of Walter. country village a short dis tance east of this city, it appears that an attempt has been made to carry out a plan of wholesale poisoning on the family of F. w. Hosey. It seems that the Hosey family had left their home on Sunday afternoon for a visit to a neighbor, and when they returned went about in the usual manner of prepar- ing the meal for supper. When they sat down to eat the meal, it is said that the bread prepared had very bitter taste, and no member of the family ate any of the bread except one of the boys, who, 1t Is said, became violently ill. show ing indications of having been poisoned None of the rest of the family having eaten any of the bread quantity of which was thrown out and was eaten by three or four dogs. all of which died during the night. Specimens of the bread se.re brought to Cullman this morning for analysis by physicians.
 Hosey is here in jail charged with the murder of William Black about two months ago, and was placed under $500 bond by Judge R. l. Burke. but up to
 
 bond. Hosey's family still resides where they did prior to the murder of Black.
 No one has the least idea who it was attempted to poison the Hosey family, but evidently, from the reports related in Cullman, the deadly poison must have been placed in the meal from which the bread was made during the absence of the family Sunday afternoon. The mat ter will be looked after closely, and if the reports on the analysis shows that the bread really contained poison a rigid in- yestigation will be made.
 Profs. J. T. Mckee and D. V. Smith began summer normal at the High school building in this city Monday morning. The school Is one that will fit and prepare teachers for the state examination. The prospects for the school on the opening was most flat tering one, opening with 50 students, and the principals are expecting more than 60 before the week is out.

UNUSUAL GLOOM
 AT GREENSBORO Death of Prof. Christenber- ry Causes Special Sorrow
 on Alumni Day

Greensboro. June 6.-(Speeial 1.-The principal feature this morning of the com mencement exercises of the Southern uni versity was the joint address before the Alumni association and the literary so cieties, delivered by the Rev. J. B. Cum ming of Birmingham, editor of the Ala bama Christian Advocate. Rev MT. Cumming was a student at the Southern university 31 years ago. In the midst of memories awakened and associations re- vived by this visit to the halls of his alma mater the speaker stated that his thoughts reverted especially to those mo- ble men who have gone on before who devoted their lives to carrying out the purposes for which the institution was founded and who died in harness. He paid touching tribute to the memory of the late Professor Christenberry. The statement of the great Apostle Paul, 'I have fought good fight, have finished my course, I have kept the faith,' was strongly emphasized by Rev. MT. Cum ming. He pronounced as false the fa- miliar words of the poet that the world | is stage, and men and women are it's actors, and stated that the world Is a battle field, and men and women are sol 1 diers thereupon. Fidelity to ones trust
 was exalted as the feature of virtues. The address was peculiarly appropriate
 to the occasion, and made deep impress | sion upon those who heard it. Among | the commencement visitors are the Rev. | o. C. McGehee, Charles A. Rush and D. A. Dannelly, secretary of the board of trustees.
