Mr.. A. L. Watson Dead.

Mr.. A. l.. Watson died at the
Columbus Hospital at an early
hour last Friday morning. He
had been sick at his home 1916
South Fifth avenue for some
time past and was removed to
the hospital last Tuesday. He
suffered from a complication of
diseases and his case refused to
yield to treatment.
Mr.. Watson had been engaged
in the mercantile business here
for several years past, having
conducted a store on South Mar
ket street near the Mobile and
Ohio depot, but when he was
taken sick was preparing to
move his stock to one of the
stores in East Columbus owned
by Mr.. c. F. Sherrod. He was
forty-seven years old and is sur
vived by a widow and one son.
The body was taken to his
former home at Belk. Alabama,
for interment, the funeral having
occurred there Friday afternoon.

RAILROAD MEN ENGAGE IN
A FATAL DIFFICULTY
Engineer w. c. Hall Kills George
Culpepper a Former Con-
ductor of M. 90. R'y

In a difficulty which occurred
at the Mobile and Ohio round,
house in Tuscaloosa, at an early
hour Friday morning. George
Culpeper, who was formally en-
ployed as a conductor was shot
and instantly killed by W. c..
Hall an engineer. 1t seems that
these two men together with
John Hall, a brother of the man
who did the shooting were jok-
ing each other about some trivial
and finally became angry,
Both of the Hall brothers were
pitted against CuIpepper, and
both received serious knife
wounds.
All three of the men are well
known in Columbus and the news
of the tragedy was received here
with sincere regret by their
friends.

PROSPECTS ARE SHlGHT
FOR GOnIHG FALL FAIR
Fine Program Has Been Ar
ranged d Attendance Will
Probably be Large.

DR.. John Oliver, the popular
and efficient secretary of the
Mississippi and West Alabama
Fair Association is very much en-
eouraged over the prospects for
the coming fair, which is TO be
held October Z TO II, inclusive.
The people throughout the ter
ritory contiguous to Columbus are
manifesting a great deal of inter-
est in the fair and are preparing
exhibits for the various depart
ments. DR.. Oliver is devoting
special attention to the tourna-
ment which he says will be a very
interesting feature and will be
the means of attra ling quite a
large number of visitors. Anoth-
er special feature will be the
music. II will be furnished by the
German Hungarian Military band
of Cincinnati. In addition to these
features there will be a grand dis
play of fireworks. Nothing of this
kind has ever been seen at a
local fair, and the directors are
confident that it will serve to
greatly augment the attendance.
Heretofore the opening day of
the fair has always been Lowndes
county school day and has been
given over to the children of the
public schools of the county. 1t
has been decided, however, to
change the date this year, and
Friday will be LowndeS county
school day.

WERE NOT ON HIS LIST.

The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins of
San Francisco was man of large
mind and noble powers, but more
familiar with the world Of intellect
ual and scholastic interests than with
trivial and timely things, says the
Cleveland Leader.
His household was blessed with a
charming daughter, who grew up
tall and beautiful, commanding the
admiration of all who saw her. One
day visitor said to the good doctor:
"Doctor, your daughter grows
more charming day by day. Why,
she's a regular Gibson girl"
"Ah, thank you; thank you," re-
piled the doctor in his best manner.
When the visitor had gone, turning
to his wife, the doctor asked: "My
dear, who are the Gibsons?"

Succeed DR.. Hill

DR.. r. B. Eggleston, pastor of
the Third Presby terian church in
Richmond. Virginia, has been in
yited to succeed DR.. ]. ]. Hill,
as pastor of the First Presby-
terian church in this city, the
call having been extended at a
congregational meeting recently
held.
DR.. Eggleston some time ago
received a call to the First Pres
byterian church in Jackson,
Miss. but after considering the
matter decided to decline it.
Last year DR.. Eggleston accept
ed a call TO Louisville, KY, but
on finding that the climate of
that city did not agree with
him, he returned to his church
in Richmond which had been
kept open in the hope that he
might 60 back.
He is considered a minister of
great force. He is forty years
old and married, with several
children.
1t will probably be several
days before he will reach a de-
cision regarding the call from
this city.

Several of the old teachers re-
signed their positions last year
and this of course necessitated
the employment of new instruct
ors to take their places. Great
care was exercised by the
trustees in selecting the new
teachers and it is believed that
the faculty secured for the COM
ing session will be the strongest
that the local schools have ever
had. The new teachers are all
well trained and have had suffi-
cient experience to demonstrate
their ability.
Columbus has an excellent
public school system and the
coming session promises to be
one of the most successful in its
history.
