The latest wrinkle in the shoe line in this part of the country is going to be worked by Drennen & Co.,, the. mammoth general merchants of this city, who do big business with the country and labor trade. They have ordered from the J. B. Lewis company of Boston a large con signment of shoes. Each shoe will be numbered and with each shoe, corre- spondingly numbered, goes an accident pays $3 for pair of shoes and gets with It this policy, which guarantees him Sloo indemnity if he gets hurt within three months after the purchase of the shoes, Which are guaranteed to last that time, so that two birds are killed with one stone-the purchaser is liable to be out or shoes and insurance policy about the same time and thus desire the renewal or both. The insurance policies are is- sued by an insurance company, with whom the J. B. Lewis company has contract to that end, and will be directly responsible for loss on the same. Dren- nen & Co. say they are going to adVer- use the scheme very extensively, and nope, Tor the furtherance of trade, that the f1rst man to buy pair of shoes Will get hurt, so as to receive the $100 on the insurance policy and help the project. It IS decidedly the most novel scheme ever introduced in this city, although Birmingham is by nc means behind the world in such matters. and bids fair to hl! the mines, furnaces and farms in Jeff ferson- county with the $3 shoe of the J. B. Lewis company.

game, each girl finding therein a
souvenir of the evening. The girls
themselves contributed to the success
of the occasion by music and clever
recitations. Thus was passed a happy
home merry-makng and closed a sue
cessful year despite of early misglv-
ings.
But this report must not close with
out an urgent appeal for funds, to pro-
vide suitable hall for our public eX-
eroises, and some notice Of the efforts
of our own committee thereto. With a
courage born of despair and our needs,
urged on by one of our number who
had plan to offer, we gave fine and
most successful entertainment of the
story of Undine, Illustrated by tab
leauX. 1t netted handsome sum for a
building fund, which has been added
to by our ever generous friend, Mrs.
Farnam, and now we stand begging
with hope for more. Our thanks are
due to very wide circle of friends, so
many that space forbids detailed men
ton, but our widest success comes to
us through the never ceasing courtesy
of the press.
Twenty five of our family accepted
the invitation of Miss Wilcox to spend
Memorial day and the following Sun
day at her Madison home. 1t was an
ideal summer outing, the weather prov
ing favorable and both house and town
delightful.
I'VE have felt greatly the loss of one

ing for it's welfare, will serve as in
spiration to those who remember, as
to-day we must with peculiar sadness,
her untiring lefforts for the success of
our last annual meeting.
I'VE would speak in terms IF sincsre
gratitude to the friends who have so
generously contributed financial sup
port, and to those who have rendered
personal service, thus making it posi-
BILE for us to continue the work and
to broaden it's scope in accordance with
the demands made upon us.
1--WE know of no more fitting close for
the story of the years work than a
few words written during the last ILL
ness Of the beloved house mother who
has passed away from us since this re-
port was prepared:
I wish l could put upon paper the
numberless expressions of gratitude fol-
happiness experienced here during the
year that is past. We are not a board
ing house or a woman's hotel, but a
veritable home, where sympathy meets
longing and heart meets heart, with
bond of love and affectionate interest
1t has been a happy year to the heads
of the house and they earnestly de-
sire that the year to come may have the
fullness of even deeper and rich ex-
| periences.
