Life Sentence
Man to Prison
* ' * *
, “
Transfer Agent Cunningham of the
state prison was here this morning
having in charge a bunch of men
for the Huntsville prison. , In the
number was the young man McBride,
who was convicted on a guilty plea at
Georgetown of the murder of his*
uncle, Mr. McLaurln near Taylor. The
. *
young man was given a sentence of
ninety-nine years, and is now .on his
way to begin his long sentence. He
is rather a fine-looking young fellow,
with a good face and head, causing
one to wonder how he came to be in-
volved in sbch a crime.
Gave Lesson In
National Patriotism
A special train having aboard the
Second Arkansas regiment, returning
from border duty, stopped here for
quite a while this morning, giving
the men ^n opportunity to exercise
and be ad rest. The splendid band
of the regiment formed near the sta-
tion and rendered a delightful con-
cert, and the music was really fide.
V.
But the interest in the concert came
at the close. The hand concluded by
playing the national anthem, and the
hundreds of soldiers scattered over
the depot, premises, at the first note
of the anthem, came immediately to
attention, facing the band, and so re-
mained until the conclusion of the
number, and then a mighty cheer
went up from the men. Numbers of
.v.
the soldiers were- in conversation
with civilians when the band started
tbe national air, and abruptly and
without “your pardon” every soldier *
was at once at attention. ~ It was a
nice lesson in patriotism.
