J. O. PRUDE, Sheriff of Tuskaloosa County, Ala: Dear Prude:-Your postal of the 7th inst., received yesterday evening. The mail department and not I is to blame for your not getting an answer soon. Jim Seams, the negro who killed Mr. Awtrey, of your county, is getting along nicely. His wounds are almost well.

TRUSS, Sh’f.
