entry. Perth Rock. had a royal chance to
beat Punch Bowl but Investments on the
race did not carry out his ideas, for
Punch Bowl was i strong favorito at II

against Perth Rock and . TO . against

MARINES PARENTS DEAD IN ANN|ST0N Claud Johnson Has Double
 Bereavement SISTERS ARE WORRIED Have Received No Word From the Young Marine-Mrs. Solon
 Jacobs to Speak to
 the Euphians
SISTERS ARE WORRIED

Anniston, May 17-(Special. )-Their father having died on April and their mother on May 8. Misses Kate and Annie Johnson, aged IS and Is. respectively, of this city, are now suffering intense mental anguish over their further failure to hear from their brother. Claud Johnson, who is in the United States marine service at Vera Cruz.
 The young ladies are the daughters of oneers, and at one time very wealthy citizen, having occupied a large home on the site where the Church of St. Michael and All Angels now stands. They state that their brother wrote to them frequent ly before his departure for Mexico, but for several weeks they have received no word from him. either by mail or wire.
 The Misses Johnson say that they ad- dressed letters to their brother as soon as their father died, but no reply was re- ceived. They again addressed him at Vera Cruz on the death of his mother, and so far as they know he has received no in timation of his double bereavement They fear he is either i'll or that his mail is going astray, and unless they hear from him soon they will resort to a search through naval or military departments.
 Claud Johnson is the only Anniston boy in active service at Vera Cruz, so far as known, and he is the main dependence of his sisters since the death of their father, whose only brother a citizen of Birming- ham, and reputed wealthy, has not been heard from recently.

EUFAULA PRIMARY
 TO BE HELD IN JUNE
To Nominate City Officials-Mayor Mercer Un0pposed for Reelection.
 Other Items of Interest

Eufaula, May 17.-(Special )-The pri- mary for the nomination of city officers will be held in Eufaula on Monday, June 29, under a decision of the democratic ex- ecutive committee, of which Capt. s. H. Dent Is chairman. The committee at its meeting also fixed the assessments for candidates for the various offices. and made arrangements for the appointment of managers and clerks for the election. A full city ticket is to be named, includ- ing mayor, president of council and eight aldermen. two from each of the four city wards Indications are that Mayor c. G. Mercer. who announced himself a can didate for reelection some months ago. will not have any opposition. Only two of the present members of the council. A. M. Brown and E. R. Pruden, are standing for reelection, the others stating that they will not be in the race again.
 Eufaua and Barbour county bankers and business men are elated over the election of Col G. l.. Conner of this city as president of the Alabama Bankers association Colonel Conner has been serv- ing as vice president of the association until promoted to the presidency at the meeting held at Decatur last week.
 Much progress is being made for the chautauqua which will be held in Eufaula June to 10 under the auspices of the Commercial club and the civic organiza- tions of the city. The season seat sale is very satisfactory and the committee In charge of the chautauqua look for it to be an unusual success. Three sessions will be held each day at the opera house. which was built for chautauQua purposes some years ago.
 The work of improving the road from Eufaula to Baker Hill, which will add an- other link to the chain of good roads in Barbour county, is rapidly nearing com pletion. Some big hills on the road are being cut down and clay laid for prac- tically the entire distance. The improved road will greatly increase Eufaula's trade with the lower portion of the county. where there is large and prosperous set- tlement of white farmers.
