Profitable Geese.-The Lake Mills
Leader says that Fred Albright Of the
town of Milford is a champion geese
raiser. He realized about $16S from
forty-two geese which he recently sold.
1t seems that he gets from the Jews, to
whom he sells, as many cents per pound
as the geese average in weight. This
year they averaged twenty pounds,
thus making the geese worth 81 apiece.
He feeds the geese all they will eat for
three weeks before he sells them.

A FUTILE EFFORT
To Choke to Death a Home Institution Being
 Made-WiII It Not Succeed2

The Southeastern Tariff association has caused the association companies to leave the Birmingham Underwriters agency because it represents the South ern Mutual Fire Insurance company of Alabama. The Southern Mutual does business only in Ala bama and proposes to return the profits to the policy holders. and for this reason the tariff association is taking steps to choke it to death. The Birmingham Underwriters agency is prepared to take care of every policy now in the companies leaving it's agency by placing them in other good companies that do not belong to the association. We trust that not a single one of our patrons will desert us in this effort to crush us. If other agencies should so- licit the business in the companies which have left us, we will doubly appreciate it should you elect to tell them that 1t is your decision to let us continue to take care of your business. It is not to be be- lieved that the people of Birmingham and Alabama will allow the Tariff asso- citation to make them a party to choke to death an honest effort to build up home institution. The association has precipitated this matter and made it necessary for the people of Birmingham and Alabama to decide whether they will uphold the Tariff association in its arbi- trary methods by means of which it at tempts to destroy home institutions.

Chief Mcdonald received yesterday the following telegram:
 Springfield. H., Dec. 21. Chief ot Police, Birmingh ham, Ala:
 Have requisition from the governor of Illinois. Messenger will take first train t. Montgomery and will reach Birming- ham Monday. CHAS. PETERS,

 Quinnan is charged with preventing duly qualified voters from exercising the right of suffrage. It will be remembered he was first arrested on telegram from Columbus, Ga., stating that he was wanted there on charge of larceny, and was afterwards released on a telegram stating that the matter had been ad- justed.
 Quinnan is somewhat of a pugilist and met Denver Ed Smith in the ring in this city on Smiths first appearance and was knocked out in the first round.

DOES IT MEAN PEACE?
That Is What an Old Citizen Thinks of His
 Turnip.


 MT w. H. Wood of East Lake showed the State Herald this morning very pc. culiar turnip. It is three in one with the bodies and roots growing into one after perfect division. This" says MT. Wood, indicates that the Venezuelan question will be amicably adjusted and perfectly satisfactory to all concerned. This little turnip represents Venezuela; this, size larger, with the extra top roots, Is Eng land; this large, smooth, round one Is America-a perfect globe, and as free as the bird that sails the air"
 MT. Wood, by the way, is an old citizen of Birmingham, rather of East Lake. In fact. East Lake is built on his once pro- ductive farm, and he now owns a nice home there, while Wodawn is built on the farm of his brother, after whom 1t took its name. MT. w. H. Wood has been a resident of Jefferson county for seven ty-one years, having moved here when he was quite a boy. He is an ardent ad- vocate of free silver and his love for MT Cleveland is not as great as it might be. though he approves his war message and dsagrees with him strongly in his latest message for the issuance of $50O, 900, 900 bonds. es
