mitted in Montevallo about ~ o'clock
Sunday night. The large plate glass
in the front door of c. L. Meroney's

store. Eight pairs of shoes, one
dozen pairs of silk stockings, one
dozen shirts and several pairs of
overalls were taken. A sack of corn
and a sack of chicken feed were emp

taken, evidently being used for car

They made a careful survey of the
entire store and drops of blood were
found on nearly every shelf.
The loss was discovered about Z
o'clock by clerks going to open
stores. Later in the day two white
men were selling shoes. stockings
and overalls around the cooperage
plant at Calera. Before an investiga-
ton could be made, the 'peddlers

fine condition of hogs, ready for
killing, will attract numbers of buy
ers, and good prices are expected.

the pens by 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning in order that they may be
properly graded. This work will be
done by Auburn exper S, several of
