Another wreck occurred on the Great
Northern about one mile west of the
Wiliston depot yesterday, caused by Il
westbound freight train running into a
light engine backing into the yards.
Fortunately nobody was hurt, but the
engine on the freight was badly smashed
up, and the tender of the light engine
demolished.
Agent L. NJ. Atterberry's resignation
was not accepted by the Great Northern
officials. The gentleman who was to
serve in his place, it seems, couldn't fill
the bill. He. was buried beneath the
accommodating work in the office within
three days, aud Mr.. Atterberry was
pushed back in again to dig him out.
We are glad that Mr.. Atterberry is still
to remain with us.

AT HOME
To Their Friends-The Prowell Hard
 ware Company

On yesterday the old and well known hardware store, No. 1917 Second avenue, was alive with visitors and customers, and an energetic corps of salesmen. The ac- tivity at this place was especially noticea- ble, as for as the past two or three weeks the store had been vacant. The cause of the hustle and hustle at 1917 yesterday was the removal there of the Prowell Hardware company, which heretofore occupied quar- ters at 1912, just across the street.
 For several days the Prowell company have been busy moving their mammoth stock of goods to the present stand, but on yesterday they threw open their doors to exhibit one of the largest lines of hard ware, builders supplies. carpenters tools, sporting goods, guns, pistols, fine mantels, etc, ever shown in Birmingham.
 The Prowell Hardware company, which began business in this city only two years ago, has grown so steadily in public favor, and consequently patronage, that it be- came necessary to secure more commo- dious quarters, hence their removal across the street from their former stand. Day by day has their business increased, which, 1t might be remarked, was due to fair and honest dealing. as well as selling none but absolutely reliable goods. Their new home Is three-story structure, and every floor of the spacious building is literally loaded with goods. The company have branched out in many particulars.
 Every department has been enlarged, the size of the stock largely increased and sane new features added. A new addition worthy of mention is a sporting goods depactment. in which may be found oAe of the most complete lines of guns, pistols ammunition and hunters supplies ever shown in Birmingham Here the sportsman can be equipped in short order and at le- eitimate prices.
 . Too much cannot be said of the mantel department In fact, the magnificent line of mantels which Mir Prowell is now dis playing must be seen to be appreciated. Ehis department is supplied with fifty diff ferent designs, every one of which is a Beauty. These mantels were selected by MT Prowell himself during his recent busi- ness tour east. Having made speciality of cabinet mantels for the past few months MT Prowe1 has studied the wants of the people of this section, and as result of same. together with his personal visits to the large mantel manufactories he is en- tirely able to supply the needs of his many customers both in and out of Birmingham An extraordinary feature of the stock is the handsome line of cutlery and carving sets displayed.
 The Prowell Hardware company, the stock of which is owned almost entirely by Mir W. J. Prowell, Jr., is one of the cty's most important institutions, and has mer- ited the splendid patronage that it is en- toying. Besides the manager, MT. Prowell, nine men are employed

Plans for Woman's Building

As was stated in Sundays Age Herald, a meeting has been called TOT Wednesday morning at 10:3O o'clock Of all women who are interested in the proposed Woman's building.

It is pro- posed to issue twenty thousand dollars worth of stock at five dollars share
 The meeting called for tomorrow is not under the auspices of any particular club, although the movement has been set on foot by several members of the Woman's club. Every woman in the city and su- burbs who is interested in the movement is not only cordially invited but expected to be present. It is the desire of the ladies who have called the meeting to make as fine showing of charter members as possible.
