 Col. C. A. Avery.
EVERYTHING WILL BE NEW

A city without parks is like a ship without a rudder-a useless and practi- cally valueless thing.
 In fact, park is as much necessity to city as is water works, gas works, railroads, business houses and all other things necessary to the making of a city.
 Birmingham is well provided with parks, both inside and outside her cor porate limits, and there the many thou sands of her toiling masses go on Sun day-rest day-to enjoy at least few moments of well-earned rest. The pleas ure derived from these outings by the n't-get-aways1 is perhaps best known to themselves and the little ones. Words would be futile in attempting to describe their feelings when they arrive beyond the stuffy confines of the city and inhale the fe-giving breezes as they come from the mountains.
 The promoters of parks are philan- thropists, and the many inaudible bless ings from those deriving pleasure and benefits from their public-spirited lib- erality are recorded not on earth, but in the heavens beyond.

ing of a great city in Jones' valley, thought of the toilers, and appropri- ated for this purpose valuable piece of property, containing fifty acres, at the foot of Red mountain sjust beyond the city limits, to be laid out as park solely for the use of the public. Nesting between beautiful mountains, and dotted here and there with majestic for est trees, the spot selected was well adapted for the proposes designed
 A lavish outlay of money was the next thing and soon one of the prettiest and cosiest pleasure resorts in the south was thrown open to the public. It was a memorable day for Birmingham, and one not soon to be forgotten. The exam ple set by the Elyton Land company was followed in rapid succession by other corporations, but despite all ef- forts the beautiful park with its equally appropriate name, "LakeV1eW, held supreme sway over all of them, and the beautiful lake, from whence the name originated, and the hillsides and wales rcsounded with the echoing laughter ot bright-eyed, happy children, and mature manhood and womanhood lolled on the greensward meath the cooling, shady branches of the majestic forest trees.
 The First Dummy Line.
 TO afford the public a means of get ting to and from this lovely spot, dummy line, the first to be erected in the city, or state for that matter, was soon erected and given the name, High land Avenue and Belt railroad. If, too. was the incentive to the building Of other bunny lines. Day by day this lakeside resort was thronged with pleasure seekers, and on Sunday it was literally packed, and thus the Elyton Land company felt rewarded for their forethought. Pic nic parties also took advantage of the liberality of the owners of the grounds, and at night merry terpsicho- reans gathered there to trip the light fantastic.
 One thing alone marred the pleasure Of the patrons of Lakeview-the too free use of the park by negroes. The Elyton Land company soon saw this objec- tionable feature and at once

 sprang into existence. To reach this resort, built expressly for negroes, dummy line was put in operation, and the negro was from that time on con splcuous by his absence from the park at the foot of the mountains.

company of actors who afforded amuse- ment to the public.
 A handsome hotel was erected on the plateau overlooking the lake, and 1t was soon apparent that not only would the home folks find pleasure there, but peoT' from abroad came and lived among the busy Birminghamers, and went away singing praises of LakevieW.
 Its Glory Dimmed.
 For some unaccountable cause the glory of Lakeview, after time, began to dim and the people dropped away until from a scene of merriment and happy, smiling faces desolation marked the spot. Why. no one knows, but true nevertheless.
 But there is an old saying, "Tis lond lane that has no turning" and LakeVie% is destined
 To Rise, Phenix Like, from the ashes of decay. The property Is in other hands, and neither money nor pains will be spared in bringing 1t again to it's pristine glory.
 An Age Herald representative, seeking information for the general public, wan dered ino the Morris arcade, and there met Col. C. A. Avery of the East and West road, and on putting to him the usual query of the quill driver, w hat do you know?" got the answer; Lots.
 What Was Found Out.
 Seating themselves, the genial colonel with fragrant Havana, and the pencil pusher with his time-honored pipe, crossed their legs, made themselves com fortable, and here is what the news gatherer found out:
 Tell your people," said the colonel, birmingham is on the verge of busi- ness revival such as will surprise the most sanguine."
 How do you know?'
 Well, you see I've been in and out or Birmingham the past few weeks, and be- ing a stranger, in manner, am better able to note the improvement than one who is constantly here. This is usual with man who is constantly having an eye for observing the progress Of town, when he represents capital seeking in- vestment."
 And you think Birmingham is pick ing up in a business way?'
 ''Yes, without doubt
 Well, colonel, l understand your com pany intends rebuilding Lakeview park for the accommodation of the public. Is this correct?"
 "Without doubt, and you may say that
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-04-14

the work is already in q state of prepara- tion. In fact, plans have been mapped out and it will be a matter of only a few weeks ere that once famous resort will surpass its former beauty"
 Twill there be many changes? 7"
 'Yes; in fact, so many that old visitors to the resort would hardly recognize it.
 Will you please give me an mixing of what you propose doing?"
 My dear boy, I will be only too glad if you think 1t would interest your readers"
 Getting pencil and pad ready. the re- porter said: All right, colonel, let her go."
 ITO begin with" said he. there are fifty acres of ground in the park, as you perhaps know. As matter of course, this vast tract cannot be gotten over in a few days, but will receive attention and that as fast as possible.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-04-14

'To begin with, the debris of what was once the hotel and late the female col lege will be removed. This is a big job, but must be accomplished. In few weeks where once was an unsightly mass of brick and burned timbers will be one of the finest lawn tennis courts in the south"
 Will this court be exclusive?"
 Not necessarily. The park will be for the pleasure and convenience of the pub lie generally, and therefore exclusiveness must and shall be avoided. 'Tis true, there may be several lawn tennis clubs organized, and the use of the grounds therefore asked for, but privileges of ex- elusive use will not be granted to any club'
 How will you avoid this?'
 "Why, very easily. Say there are five clubs. They can among themselves ar range practice days so as not 10 conflict one with the other, and thus, you see, the obstacle is removed"
 A Target Range.
 But, colonel, the plateau is entirely too large for exclusive use as a lawn tennis court"
 Yes, you are right There is too much space on the plateau for tennis court and have therefore decided to arrange a first-class target range for the use of the Birmingham Gun club and the mill itary, if they so desire. The mountains will serve as a magnificent background for the bullets and small shot, thus avoid ing any possible danger to human life, and the boys can shoot as much as they please"
 twill the grounds be improved?"
 will they? We'll most assuredly. In fact, am determined to make Lakeview a miniature Central park before l get through with it. The location is a mag

My Lady's Footwear.

The very newest way of exploiting the fact that one is the fortunate possessor of pretty feet is to have glass Louis Quinze shoe box in milady's dressing room in full view of her feminine friends filled with her footgear, and in the midst of the sturdy little calfskin walking boots, her yellow golfing, skating, riding and fur-lined carriage boots and the be- wildering array of satins and Swede slip pers in all manner of fancy evening shades, stands dainty little pair of wax feet carefully modelled down to the very last toe. These wax feet are. of course, the models, or their duplicates, to whose measure all the dainty shoes and slippers are made.
