Las Vegas Military Band.

Word has been received at headquarters,
says the Denver Republican, that the Las
Vegas military band will be on hand, with
t~wenty-four members, to enter the contest.
This band made many friends last year,
but lost a place as a prize winner, from the
fact that their overture was considered too
simple, a circumstance. however, that
seemed to suit the grand stand. They are
still under the direction of Prof John A.
Hand, jr., son of the eminent Chicago band
director Of the same name. and claim that
they will probably be the only band to par
ticipate in the contest with only residents
of their own city as members. Their mem
hership is composed of boys from seven
teen to twenty, the same as were here last
year, with the addition OF Ave new players.

The Home Market.

A word to the consumer-the man or woman who goes 10 market with a dol lar. more or less, in his or her pocket. That sum in market is a very potshltial matter If shrewdGy placed that dollar can do much toward the upbuilding of the south, thereby enriching it's re- cent owner and all his neigh'bors.
 This is the way of it. When you go into a dry goods store. or hardware store, or other store, ask for Alabama made goods. If they be unattaanaIble then ask for soutehrn-made goods. If you are seeking wool or cotton goods. you should be able to .saeure home e-made goods. There are nearly one hundred woolen mflls in the so1Jth-two being in Alabama---and fhe other cotton mills now make various kinds of fine goods. as we'll as those of coarser texture. The implement factories are increasing, and 50 are the shoe factories. Insist upon homemade fertilizers. Home made su- gar is coming, and home made ready made clothing is not far off
 The merchant can buy to better ad- vantage near his home; and if he lacks the enterprise and patriotism that the situation demands let the consumer, whom he seeks ito please at all hazards, see to it that he buys where his buying will best benefit his own section of the country. The consumer is master of the situation. If he will use his power wise ly and beneflcially, the people will soon witness marvellous growth of their industries.

Future of Real Estate.

Real estate is the safest investment that man can make, if he is so sit uated that he can hold dt In the United States no city has ever yet reached a population of 25,O0O and then gone back ward. Dull periods come in the history of all communities, but they roll by, and the towns move forward again.
 A moderate fortune invested today in real estate in Birmingham would make the owners children immensely rich. They would have millions to divide among them. The outlook is promising also in the rural districts. The popuia< tion is doubling every thirty years, and while it will not increase so rapidly in future. it is safe to say that men now living will see 2OOOO0,OOO people in this country. Land. however, cannot ex- pand. There is only a certain quantity of it, and 1t will be more in demand as the population swells. It is, therefore, bound to rise in value, and the farmers should be careful not to sell their land for song. It will be valuable in few wears.
