rents and an Elopemeut Follows.
 Ever since Monday rumors that Miss Kathleen Golson of Bessemer and MT. Isaac F. Perkins of Columbus, Ga, had run away and married have been cur rent here and in Bessemer but until yes terday the rumors could not be substan- .tiated.
 It was learned that they had gone to Columbus last Sunday and there had the ceremony making them man and wife performed.
 Miss Golson came to Birmingham Sat urday afternoon to spend week with the Misses Cole on South Twenty-first street. Soon after her arrival in Birmingham MT Perkins, who had been very much devoted to her for several years put in an appearance, and it seems appealed to her to marry him at once. It is stated that they had been engaged for some time, but on account of opposition to their marriage by the girls parents they had agreed to wait until fall The parents had no objections other than the youth fulness of the parties.
 MT Perkins finally prevailed on his fair love to elope with him, 1t would seem, and Sunday morning she left the house where she was visiting, ostensibly to return home. but really, as 1t devel- oped, to marry MT. Perkins. MT. Per kins is 20 years old and his bride two years his junior The laws of Alabama prohibit the issuing of marriage license 10 minors without the consent of their parents. This fact made it necessary for the two lovers to go to another state to have the nuptial vows celebrated
 MT. Perkins lived in Bessemer until re- gently, when he removed to Columbus to take charge of a business he had opened there. He was for some time connected with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- way company, and was very popular in both business and social circles at Bes- semer.
 His bride has a large circle of friends in Bessemer and also in Birmingham, where she lived with her parents until a year or two ago.

To Property Owners:
 Owing to the high quality of the Sherwin- Williams company's paint we have found It difficult to build up profitable trade Tn these goods. The whole trouble is, the goods are too high priced for the average const mer. The result is, we have stock oi several hundred gallons that is selling too slow. and in order to push them we will sell to any bona fide property owner or agent for use only upon his own property at $1.35 per gallon, provided we have the colors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not apply to colors we have 10 order from factory.

UNIQUE FEATURE.
Tennessee Company Will Exhibit Raised Map of the Birmingham District-Exhbts
 of the Other Companies.

One of the most unique objects in the exhibit of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company at the Atlanta exposi- ton will be raised map of the Birming ham district. It is now being made in Washington and it will cost 51O00. It will be 9x4 feet and will embrace the section lying between Gate City and Blocton. It will show the topography of this sec tion perfeetly-the mountains and val lies, railroads, towns, mines furnaces, etc It will show that all the constitu- ents of iron lie closer together in this district than in any other district in the world Other iron countries have coal, ore coke and lime rock, but none where they are in such proximity as in the Birmingham district. This map will show that one mile north of the Ensley furnaces are the great Pratt mines, and one mile south is the great lime rock, and six miles east is the iron ore. This map will be a convincing object lesson. It will be great curiosity to the mining engineers who meet at the exposition in October. The map was the happy con ception of MT. James Bowron, treasurer of the Tennessee company, and 1t met with the hearty indorsement of the other officials when the plan was submitted to them.
 There is already a demand for more space in the Alabama building at the At lanta exposition. The Tennessee com pany has agreed to spend S4oo in enlarg- ing the building so as to admit of its ex- hibit. The Sloss company and the Thomas company will have fine exhibits, and besides these will be the general exhibit, which is being arranged by Col. G. W. West. The iron companies will not only exhibit their new material, but will show the different manufactures of iron in Alabama, such as bar iron, rails, pipe. castings, etc. Some of the steel made by the Henderson Steel company will be exhibited.

The night was set apart for The Saenger-

other engagements and are expected to
show up this evening. The Elks were very
much there. and as equally in demand as in
evidence. They were conspicuous in the
crowd by their antieTs and generous pocket
books.

1.abouchere.s Philosophy.

Marriage is mortgage that cannot be de-
ternined except by death or divorce.
There's many "a slip 'twixt the church and
the divorce court.
Pctticoat principles are principally preju-
dices.
The most popular type OF woman at the
close OF the nineteenth century is the un-
ladylike lady.
II man were less imaginative, woman
would be less attractive.i
Wonhan wants dress; man wants address.
The extent OF your trouble is the import
ance which you attach to 1t yourself.
Providence made tile world a paradise;
man has made it hell; philosophy enables
us Co make it a purgatory, and then religion
adnonishes us to ignore II altogether.
This is the essence of all wisdom: In life
do not love anybody or anything and. es-
pecially, do not love yourself.
Never be hurt when you are hit; your
fellow-creatures never hit fIiose whom they
cannot hurt.-London Truth.
