STRIKE OF LOOM
FIXERS IS ENDED

Huntsville, August o.-(special)-Thei
strike of loom fixers at Dallas mills,
which began several weeks ago, has
ended and practically all of the mechanics
who went out on strike, which threw
nearly 200 people under them out of en-
poyment, have gone back to work. The
strikers and company compromised.
The state military authorities have de-
cided to give Huntsville a chance to Or
ganize a company of militia and join the
Fourth Alabama regiment. Colonel
Graves has vacancy in the Fourth and
desires that it be filled by a Hunts
vile company. This city has had no
militia company since 1906 when Com

to prevent the lynching of the negro,
Horace Naples.

Appeal for Loose Garment

Il am writing this for a friend of mine
who is an invalid with dropsy. There are
times when we think she will never get

UP and around. Now that the summer is
here she is anxious to get out of doors
IL she only had something to wear, some
thing loose. She would like long black
silk coat Maybe there is some one who
has coat that belonged to such a suf-
ferer as she? 1t will do for a time and
when she no longer needs it we will pass
it on to another who can use it.

Cut up and crush ripe peaches. They

Use a wooden mallet in converting them

for month. When the fermentation has
