Affairs were talked over: problems

a peculiar feature in old times was
the serving of 'simnel' cakes, which
were a hard cookie served only on

PAROLED NEGRO IS
 ARRESTED IN SELMA
Council Decides Monday on Paving for Broad Street From Dallas
 to Phillips


 Selma, January 26-(Special.)-W Parks Phillips, a negro, who was serving a term of six months on the roads of the county on the charge of burglary, and who was paroled Wednesday by Governor DNeal, was rearrested here Thursday night on a warrant which was sworn out before Justice of the Peace J. H. Berry, on another charge of burglary. The ne- gro was tried during the last term of the city court of Selma, and found guilty.
 A special meeting of the city council will be held next Monday night to de- ternine with what kind of material Broad street, from Dallas to Phillips street, shall be paved with. The meeting of the coun- cil promises to prove a most interesting one, as it will be attended by a large number of the property owners along that thoroughfare who are more or less interested in the kind of material which will be used for the paving.
 The continuation of the paving of Broad street from Dallas to the Union passen- ger station has been a subject which has been discussed here among property own CTS along the thoroughfare for more than a year past.
