| first meeting of the Calhoun County
Teachers association will be held in the
| high school building at Oxford next Sat

| 1t is expected that not less than rs
| teachers will be in attendance at the
meeting and the public has also been in
vited to be present and hear the pro-
| gramme
| The Teachers association was formed
| year ago and has proved great fac
| tor in unifying the teachers in matters
| of beneficial legislation for the schools
| and also stimulates them in their efforts
| to produce best results from a pedagog.c
| standpoint
| Last year the county association had
| rs members, but the Indications are that
| this year the membership will exceed 100.
The reading circle of the association is
| one of the most interesting features, and
I is of great educational value. The asso-
! cia ton will meet once each month until
| the close of the schools in the spring.
| j. W. Waters was arrested yesterday
| on a charge of violating the prohibition
law by carrying on the street package
belonging to another man. He was tried
today in the police court and fined 500.
| This provision of the law is not gener-
ally known and several men have got
| into trouble through their ignorance of it..
| Under the present statute it is as much
crime to carry liquor belonging 10
someone else through the streets as it is
to peddle it.
Mr. Fred William Cass and Miss Olga
Duke, daughter of j. H. Duke, who were
married at the home of the bride S
parents Sunday afternoon by Rev: S. K.
Hodges, pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church of this city, left early Mon
day morning for Denver. Col, where
they will make their future home. Both
of the young people are well known in
Admission, and their marriage was sur
prise to their many friends. Only the
relatives and close friends of the con-
ira citing parties were in attendance at the
wedding.
| John Malls, a negro, was today fined
| $40 and costs for disturbing public wo--
| ship Sunday night in a colored church
| in the Cobtown settlement, on the west
| ern outskirts of the city.
| The trial was attended by a great num-
| her of deacons and unofficial members OF
| the congregation, several of whom testl-
| fed that Malls had entered the church
| and endeavored to make one of the wom-
| en- of the congregation take walk with
/ him while a religious meeting was IN
progress.
| When the police went to look for him
| last night they found him in the church,
| singing a hymn, and evidently forgetting
| the disturbance he had created in the
same church Sunday.
| The speech made before the public serv-
| ice commission Monday by former Gov.
| 8. B. Conner against the proposed railway
rates in Alabama, was freely commented
| on here and considerable support will be
| given the former governor in his petit
ton to the Central of Georgia and other
railroads for a permanent extension of
| time in which the railroads may charge
| 10 per cent more than published rates on
| articles in the eight groups except those
which bear percentages or relate to fer
tilizer materials. He told the commission
(, that if the extension Is granted he will
| employ the best attorneys in Alabama TO
| fight 1t in the courts, and Annistonians
| who were associated with the former gov
| ernor when he was a resident of this city.
at which time he began his railroad rate
| fight are planning to cooperate with him
| in this endeavor. Local interest in the
fight is also given by reason of the fact
that S. F. Kennedy president of the pub
| lie service commission, is likewise a cit
! izen of Admission, and is engaged in the
wholesale grocery business, as was Mr..
Conner when he began his fight. Added
