ABSENTEE BALLOTS
 ARE BEING MAILED
Wednesday Final Day for Ap- pIications for Ballots for
 Municipal Election

Many absentee ballots for the municipal election to be held oc- tober 10 are being mailed out by the probate office, according to J. P. Stiles judge Of probate. Wednesday Ia the last day on which applica- tions for ballots for persons who will be out of the city on election day may be made, it is stated and, according to the law providing for the absentee ballot 1t is necessary for the application to be received at the probate office at least five days prior to the election.
 All applications must contain the name. address and voting precinct or the absent voter and the ballot VIII then be mailed to the address of the person unable to be present on the day of the election. In order to have the ballot counted 1t must be re- ceiyed in the office of Judge Stiles on the day before the election so that 1t may be given to the election managers of the precinct to which 1t belongs on the morning of the day the election IS held.
 It is probable that number of absent voters will be unable to par ticipate in the run-off,' as it Is nec- essary to make separate application for an absentee ballot for that elec- tion just the same as in the first, according to officials. This means that the application must be made at least five days before the run-off. and the ballots, to be-counted. must be In the probate office the day be- fore the second election.

Shipping Ln 100 Graded
 Cattle to Alabama Farm

My aim is to breed the heifers to registered bulls of proven quality and produce in three years choice bunch of beef cattle. The steers in the lot will be marketed at years old ana I hope to show the greater net prof it in good cattle and the advantage over scrub cattle.
 These cattle will have winter green grazing on oats, alfalfa and will be given push and attention. Moreover, I expect to feed much or my Johnson grass on the farm ana thus maintain soil fertility. We are shipping too much hay out of the black belt, not getting much for It., and our lands are being depleted or fertility they so sorely need.
 Relieving that the present is q good time to buy good stocker- cattle I am backing my judgment. l am also more inclined to renew the war to the knife and the knife to the hilt' on the scrub bull.
 "The cattle are tame, healthy ana thrifty, are riding good and should reach destination Sunday morning october 2, with this layover at Nor ristown, Tenn, for food and water, the only one on the route"

 "Shaeffer was serving two life sentences and 40 years additional for murder" said Mir. Tate, "and Is con sidered a most dangerous man. li@ was sentenced to hang once but tho governor counted the sentence to life imprisonment. The eonvcts were all afraid to talk against him as he was dangerous and they did not know what he might do to them but the story Simone told me seemed straight forward and l believe it, Although Simone has been indicted by the grand jury on @ charge of murder f his story is true, and I believe it Is. there Is no evidence to connect him with the killing of Marshall "
