The mother of boy who clothes her boy here
has three advantages: She saves heap of mend

has the pick of the newest and best; she finds
all sizes here when she wants and in what she
wants; and she pays just what the clothes are
worth-no more, no less.
That is why our department of boys and

One day last week as Ira Wildman was
unloading corn from his wagon, the
horse became frightened, gave sudden
start and threw Mr. Wildman out. The
horse, finding himself free, started on a
run, going over Platt's hill. When at
the foot of the hill he ran into stone
wall, where he remained until captured.
The horse received some cuts and bruises,
and the wagon will need new dash board
and some repairing before it can be used.

 Watchman, Northside Department J. M. Lovelace.
 It can readily be seen what an arduous duty 1t is for this small department to cover the immense amount of territory it has to go over. The Birmingham firemen, under the leadership of Chief J. T. Mulln, are of the best, however, and have so far amazed to save the city from destructive fires. From statistics 1t is shown that the Birmingham department, with twenty eight men, covers more territory, proportionate- ly, than that of any city in the United States.
 The efficiency of this department was re- gently shown at convention of insurance men held in this city. A false alarm was turned in from the box on the corner of Morris avenue and Twentieth street. Both departments responded to the call and the Northside reached the box in one minute and twenty-two seconds. She southside was a few seconds late on account of a de- lay in crossing the railroad tracks in Twen- tieth street. The insurance men recom- mended the department highly, but could not give the city a better rate on account of the smallness of the force.
 The question of an increased fire depart- ment is now pending before the mayor and aldermen and the entire city is anxious that the request be granted.

 "The fair is public interest. It will be held for the public good, and while organ ization Is necessary to manage details, the people will make the show. The object con templated will command not only the sym pathy and endorsement of the people, but it should receive the hearty cooperation and active aid of every patriotic citizen of the state.
 'If it be true that we now have an op- portunity through the far, to improve our conditions along all lines, and to make our people, of all classes, more prosperous, surely there Is not a citizen among all our struggling people who will not be willing to give the necessary time and effort to make the fair magnificent success"
