worthy of mention. In the center was

 The ladies auxiliary of the Commercial l club will meet next Tuesday morning in regular session. The details for the ap- preaching reception, to be given by both clubs, will be arranged on Tuesday, besides other important business. The reception | promises to be brilliant affair, and will l bring together the earnest, active members | of the Commercial club and auxiliary in the most agreeable and helpful way. The l date of the reception twill be definitely | settled on Tuesday and necessary commit- 1 tees appointed. The question is times asked what l will the men do if ihe women continue to l fill so many business positions hitherto 1 held by men? As long as so much idle l land is found all over Alabama the young men of our state need not fear lack of oc- cupation. Young men are being educated l at Auburn for farmers, and after their graduation will enter upon the agreeable l life of southern planter. We have in | various sections of our state the richest and most productive soil, especially is this the case in the black belt. In Sumter, Hale, Marengo, Green, etc.. these lands in the old times produced most abundant crops. Think what is in store for a systematic, hard working man with such soil, well watered and wooded, fine climate and the hest of health. There IS no land in the United States better suited for stockrais- ing; only for a short time in the winter is it necessary to feed the cattle. The soil is adapted to any and every kind of grain, and yields abundantly corn, cotton, to-
 bacco, rye, potatoes and fruits of all kind. The soil has fine foundations; the country is picturesque, and abounds in luxuriant and beautiful forests of oak, maple, ches- nut, walnut, etc. With such a country there can be no uneasiness as to future oc- cupatlon for any one.
