track, moved slowly on, and then under
the grip of the air brakes came to
stand beside the platform, and, con-
scious that she was looking her worst
looking yellow, in fact-she drew
back from the window and hastily
lowered the shade. Then merry voices
and laughter, and light, bounding foot
steps were heard at the head of the
car, and in came joyous party, officers
and ladies. A tall. slender girl seemed
the object Of general interest, and her
bundles and wraps were deposited in
the opposite section by one officer; an
other bore brand-new bag, another
bunch of beautiful roses, and ten wom-
en- hung about the girl and kissed her
and cooed over her; and, with the eX-
perienced eye of her sex, Mrs. McI4ane
needed only one glance at the pretty,
stylish travelling suit, at the jaunty
little hat, at the slender, tapering boot,
all so new and glossy, to realize at once
that here was bride-an army bride
and one beloved of her kind, for one
woman after another chung to her as
they kissed, and many eyes were wet.
and all were filed with love and trust
and tenderness. "God bless you, Floy,
darlingi" cried one enthusiastic girl.
I'm so, so glad we've got you in our reg
iment. I was so afraid the Riflers would
never let you 60" And this, too, seemed
an a1l-pervading sentiment among the
men whose caps were decorated with
crossed sabers, while others, who wore
the badge of the infantry. and their
wives and daughters seemed to have an
other song to sing. Florence, you
broke our hearts by marrying out of the
regiment, but at least We'll soon have
you back at Sedgwiclz," was the pur-
port of what was said by more than one
OF their number.
Then came warnings to leave the
train. The conductor was shouting
"Au aboardI" and, bearing her with
them, they rushed unanimously to the
rear platform. Then, very slowly at
first, the car began to move, and the
other occupants of the Pullman poked
their heads out of the windows and
looked back along the platform, as ac-
carnations followed them But Mrs.
McLane still shrank behind the lowered
shade, her heart beating strangely, and
her ears straining as though to catch
the tones of a voice long unheard, last
heard only with sweet emotions. Man

| good-byes. Womanly voices were add

were 1886, 04379; the operating ex-
penses were s3,777,S72.7O; net, s1,6OS.-

taxes, fixed charge and full dividends
on the 4 per cent. debenture stock is
81, 1866 ,236.42; excess, S242, 434.67. This
excess is equal to little more than ,

operating expenses include, besides
other extraordinary expenses, the en-
tire cost of 226 freight cars, which were
purchased during the year to make
good all the cars which have been de
stroyed and gone out of service from
any cause since the organization of the
company. The largest local crop in
the history of the company is about

An Uncommonly Good Lot of Men.

War is an abominable business, but
what an uncommonly good lot of men
We have managed to put into it, How
brave, how patient, how efficient, how
merciful. killing Spanish soldiers
and sailors and destroying ships and
property is sorrowful work, but If we
are to do it We like to see it done as it
has been done at Santiago. Santiago
has proved pretty dear acquisition,
and taught us that on shore, at least,
the Spanish can fight. But the land
fighting there led to that wonderful sea
fight, which made the game as a
whole, worth the candle.-Life.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has it's four largest fur naces there. Ground has been broken dur steel mill of the Alabama Steel and Ship building company, and work on it is being pushed rapidly. A 900 bi-product coke oven plant Is just being completed there, and it's products are already drawing a large number of smaller industries to con- sume it's output. Lumber mills, brick yards and manufactures of all kinds are being erected constantly.

 At Owenton, two or three miles from the city, is situated the new conference male college of the Methodist church for North Alabama. The main building is being push ed to completion and will be ready. for students before October l. sE
 Its faculty will be an able one and the college will draw it's patronage from all over the state.

 This line passes through one of the most interesting parts of the valley. Leaving the city by way of First avenue, lumber mills, big machine shops and boundaries, brass works, coal yards and other indus tries in most active operation are passed in large numbers. At Thirtieth street the big city furnaces of the Soss Iron and Steel company are situated.
 At Avondale about one and a half miles from the city, is a thriving little city, filled up with industries of all kinds. The most conspicuous of these are the mammoth Av- ondale Cotton mills, a $500, 900 plant, which is just now going into operation.

 As the cars approach the end of the line at East Lake, College Station is passed and about half mile away Howard Col lege is situated, which is the state denomi- national male college of the Baptist church. The college buildings including the college proper, the dormitories, etc., are most sub stantially built. A beautiful campus stretches out in front which serves as a splendid parade ground for the corps of cadets. The 160 students who attend this college come from all over the state as well as from Birmingham and vicinity

The lake is well equipped with boats and moonlight rowing is a fla vorite pastime out there. Bathing and fishing are also very popular
 On the far side of the lake is the beauti- ful camp ground of the Alabama National Guard, who for many years past until the war broke out this year, have held their annual encampment there.
 This winter the company proposes to put in one of the most novel summer resort features in the south, in the shape of an extensive open air theater built out in the middle of the lake, It will be permanent structure and will be fitted out in the most
