The steers were fed by Baggs and Minor, of Decatur county, and, Dr. Baggs declares, are only forerunners of what that section will accomplish the near future. The carload consisted of twen ty-eight head of grade short horned steers which averaged better than 1,050 pounds each when loaded, and for the twen ty-eight steers Dr. Baggs was handed a check by the White Pro vision Company for $1,574.48, after deducting freight and oth er expenses from the time of loading at Bainbridge.

Dr. Minor delivered a most impressive sermon, taking for his subject * ‘The Open Door. ’ ’ At the close of the service a sug gestion was made by one of the members that a movement be made then and there, to begin raising the necessary funds for a new church building, saying “The oper door is before us and we should enter it now”, and started the subscription by pledg ing $1,600 for himself and fam ily. Other pledges were given, some amounting to $1,000. the total amount reaching between $8,000 and $9,000.

Special care will be given to see that plenty of Sunday school rooms will be in cluded in the plans. These will be arranged aB nearly as poesi- I answered him a couple of times and the argument got very heated. He would write a word and then look up and talk to me. While he was arguing I took the ble in such manner as that all gun from my pocket and shot can be thrown into the main auditorium when necessary. With the unexpected and grat ifying results reached Sunday, the pastor and members of the church believe that it will not be very long before actual work will commence on the new build ing. This will add one more to the number of handsome struc tures Bainbridge already has. The evening service was given over to speeches from the pastor and others before the graduating class of teachers in the Sunday School. It will be remembered that a Sunday School Teacher’s Institute has been conducted there recently, a number of the teachers graduating. These re ceived diplomas Sunday night. This service was most interest ing and impressive. New Officials Appointed Mr. J, T. Waddell has been appointed Superintendent 0 f Transportation of the G. F. & A. Ry., Vice Mr. S. J. Jones, who resigned to accept a similar posi tion with the Alabama, Tennes see & Northern railroad, with headquarters at Mobile. Mr. Jones has been with the G. F. & A. for a number of years and is one of the most popular men with the company. He is held in very high esteem by the entire force of employees, who are remembering him with a handsome present on his depart ure. It may be stated here that him through the brain. “I started to turn a round to go out; I got to the door and then it struck me that I might as well go ahead and ransack the place while I had the opportuni ty. I leaped over the showcase on the left hand side as you come in the pawnshop and took a coat that was hanging on the wall and put it over his face. “Immediately after I jumped over the showcase, some one opened the door of the pawn shop, entered the place and ask ed: "Is Mr, Wurzburger in? “No,” I answered. I then, add ed: “He will be in after awhile.” He turned around and walked out. "I took an aligator .grip off a shelf or case. The safe was open and I pulled out three or four drawers and dumped the watches into the grip. When I started to full the grip, Mr. Wurtzburger started to crawl towards the trap door. It was open and I threw him down and closed it. ‘ ‘The trapdoor leads to the cel lar and that is where I pushed him. Then I closed the bag. The money drawer was open, and I next went to it. I took alJ the money that was in’the draw er-amounting to either $86 or $96. There was about $30. or $32 in silver and the remainder in bills. The bills were in a lit tle square in the drawer where the silver was kept. “Wurzburger had not paid me for the links before I shot him.

Mr. Tussey was the recipient of a beautiful silver set. Mr. Waddell’s promotion is well deserved, as he has been among the faithful ones who have made the G.

Then, thinking that people might notice it too close ly, I concluded not to go out with the bag tied, and broke the rope with my fingers. “I took an Olive street car and went home to No. 5137A, Deimar avenue, where I had been rooming three weeks.
