Asks Lady to Take Walk With Him
and II Costs Him $11.6O.

Eleven dollars and sixty cents was
what it cost Thomas Walker to ask
a young lady to take walk with him.
Walker, who seems to be stranger
here, approached a lady on Pike street
Tuesday night and asked her to take
a walk with him. The lady paid no
attention to Walkers request but he
continued to follow her, pressing his
attentions. She sought the aid of an
officer, and Walker was placed under
arrest by Lieutenant Whyte and on
Ger simms. He put up a bond Of
$l1.6O and it is thought that he has
skipped town as he did not show up
for trial this morning and his bond
was declared forfeited.

Miss Jones. whose memory will receive
this beautiful tribute, was an aunt of
Mrs. Sterling A. Wood of this city, who
is an active member OF the patriotic or
ganizations.
Mrs. Bashinsky writes:
las chairman of Alabama division,
United Daughters of the Confederacy
scholarship committee. we come to beg
the assistance, cooperation and contri-
buttons of your chapter for the 'Sallie
Jones Memorial Scholarship For many
years Miss Jones was the inspiration
of our conventions and now, for Nthe
first time. we are to meet In Camden,
her home town. 1t would be exceed
ingly embarrassing and humilating to her
daughters to go there without a goodly
sum to show our appreciation of the
mother of our division. Miss Jones gave
of her affection, thought, energy and
strength to the organization and advance
meht of the Alabama division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and her
daughters, we believe, will deem it a.
proud privilege to contribute to this me-
mortal, which will keep glowing her name
and memory, and attest our appreciation
of her patriotic service through the COM
ing years.
by means of this scholarship we will
implant into the hearts of it's beneficial
ries, and all whom they influence, the
lessons of Miss Jones' well spent life
and unselfish endeavor. through which
others may be given the opportunity of
attaining to higher and better things.
Thus, the benefits we will extend our
ambitious girls through this memorial
scholarship will be, not only an honor
