They need several thousand dollars yet to bring the sum up to the $16,000 or $18,000 that they started out to raise, and by vigorous work today they hope to get the needed sum. Every man approaohed today should go down in pocket with alacrity and give liberally this sum, for it means a great deal for Selma.

As soon as the Marion and Selma electric line starts it means more lines of that sort and Selma will become not only a railway, but an electric line center.

They say they have enough sins to answer for without having those of Lowndes county saddled off on them.

The friends of a young lady in Joplin, are having considerable fun at her expense, following her appearance at a dance decollete and unconsciously wearing a porous plaster on her back partly above the dress line, says the Philadelphia PresB.
