"BELOW THE SURFACE" One day last week, so it is said, three boys at Blossburg, named Jesse JACKSON, Ross TURNER, and Chester LYNN, stole from the check office a check amounting to over $100. It is further said that they tried to make use of the check at the store of Mr. TURNER, where they were detected and the matter reported to the office. Later, it is said the mother of Jesse JACKSON, fearing detection, destroyed the check in the fire. No arrests were made so far as could be learned, and it is understood that settlement is pending between the parents of the boys and the company. Miss Maggie DILLHUNTY, who has just closed her second successful term of school at Galloway Mills, will open a summer school at the place in a few weeks. Mr. D. M. DRIVER, the new superintendent at Galloway, is proving a very popular man. He was formerly at Carbon Hill. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Pete SANDERSON, of Galloway, died one day this week.

Before morning, however, death came to the relief of the sufferer. The funeral services were held at the family residence in Ensley on Tuesday at 12 o'clock by her pastor, REV. J. V. DICKINSON, assisted by Rev. M. M. WOOD, and Rev. B. D. GRAY from Birmingham. The remains were interred at Woodlawn cemetery. The Funeral services were delayed that her brothers, the Messrs. ROBINSON could reach here from Toledo, Ohio. and that a brother of Mr. MINOR, Mr. J. D. MINOR, of Grand Rapids, Michigan might also be in attendance.
