ALABAMA COAL
Finds Good Market in New Orleans Where

Finds Good Market m New Orleans, Where
 Great Quantities of It Are Used.
 Alabama coal is gaining a strong foot ,hold in New Orleans, and in the near fu- ture will, no doubt. control the trade of that city, which amounts to many thou sands of tons annually.
 This season has been especially favora- ble to the operators of this district Here tofore Pennsylvania has supplied the coal for New Orleans and the lower Missis- sppi but during the last summer and fall the Mississippi and Ohio rivers have been unable to float coal barges and as a consequence New Orleans had to look elsewhere for her supply They turned to Birmingham with much skepticism, and it was only after thoroughly testing the Alabama product that they became con- vinced it would answer their purpose.
 At first small quantities for the purpose of testing were ordered, but later orders began coming with more frequency and for larger quantities. until now there is quite demand for Alabama coal in the Crescent City.
 Several of the companies in this dis trict have established agencies in New Orleans and all report good business.

SOME TIME.

Last nignt my darling, as you slept, I thought heard you sigh, And to your little crib crept, And watched a space thereby; Then, bending down, kissed your brow For, oh! love you SO You are too young to know it now, But some time you shall know. Some time. when, in a darkened place Where others come to weep, Your eyes shall see weary face Calm in eternal sleep; The speeches. lips, the wrinkled brow, The patient smile may show You are too young to know it now, But some time you shall know. Look backward, then, into the years, And see me here tonight See O my darling! how my tears Are falling as l write; And feel once more upon your brow The kiss of long ago You are too young to know 1t now, But some time you shall know.
