 The family thought the boy would return home later and no immediate search was made, but on his failure to return home last night, his mother be- came anxious, and yesterday morning went in search of her son.
 Joe CdrTuHker, young HdH Wnd lives near the woods where the boys had congregated. assisted Mrs. Hoskins in the search and after securing the place, came across the body of the boy lying face downward in pool of water in 8 remote corner of the woods, He had apparently been dead for sometime. and from the fact that his face was slightly bruised, it is thought he had attempted to get drink of fA,~ <-~ overbalanced, fell in the podl and was drowned before he could recover him. self

 In a letter received by w. D. Ncs- bitt yesterday, the sales manager of an oil company with headquarters in New Orleans. states that he under stands there is local demand for fuel oil, and says he wants to ship some of his product into the district. He states that with the development of traffic on the Warrior river. it will be possi- ble to shin oil from Louisiana ard Texas to the Birmingham district at a price that will make 1t attractive to concerns whose operations requiro great quantities of fuel.
 That's like shipping coal to New castle,' remarked MT. Nesbitt, after reading the letter. Here in the Bir. mingham district, we have eaal enough right under our feet to supply us for 100 years, yet this fellow down in Lou isiana wants to sell us his fuel oil"

Yours with kindest regards for the Christmas roll call.
