BUSINESS ON THE AVENUE
WATERMELONS. ON DECLINE

Morris avenue Is having a great many
changes in the produce line these days, and
probably the most notable event of the past
week has been the decline of the '"99 wa
termelon."
The season is about over, except for the
comparatively few melons raised in North
Alabama, which are now getting ripe and
being shipped to market. The big melons
from South Alabama and Georgia have
played out, and little less than "culls," or
the smaller melons are coming from that
section now. They bring from So to SD per-
hundred.
The melons of Texas and Missouri. which
are just about month later than Alabama
and Georgia melons, are now flooding the
western and northern markets, which they
can do easily owing to their low freight
rates.
Canteloupes from South Alabama are now
being shipped into Birmingham by the
thousands; more than there is demand for.
and in consequence many of thsm are
rotting. They are good conteloupes,

Minister.

Mrs w. B. Crumpton, wife of Rev. w.
B. crumpton. the secretary of the Baptist
state board of missions, died in George
town, KY, last Saturday. Mrs Crumpton
had gone to Georgetown to visit friends,
The news of Mrs. Crumptons death will
be received with much regret by many AL
abamians, as among her large acquaint-
anee throughout the state a sweet, amia-
BILE disposition had endeared her to all with
whom she came in contact.
DR.. Crumpton is one of the best known
ministers in this state, by virtue of his
position as mission secretary. Three years
ago he resigned the position to accept the
financial agency of the Baptist university
in Georgetown. Early during the present
year he returned to Alabama to resume
his old work He has since resided at East
Lake.
Mrs. Crumpton's remains were carried
to Marion, Ala. for burial. The funeral
service was conducted there Monday by

To Become Its president Under
P. 4. Earle.
PERCY WILL BE NEW PRESIDENT
Of the Berney Bank-H. L. Badham,
Now Cashier, Will Have Active
Charge of the Affairs Of
the Institution.

Today ]. B. Cobbs, sometime president OF
of the BerneY National bank. will be elect
ed vice president of the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company, of which Paul
II. Earle is president.
Mr. Cobbs will resign the presidency of
the Berney National bank. to take effect
July 81
Walker Percy will be elected president of
the Berney National. Henry L. Badham,
now cashier of the Berney, will become
that banks active manager.
Rumors current for three weeks past to
the effect That the Berney National bank
and the First National bank would con-
solidate, are without foundation in fact
Each of these banks will pursue its own
way. The following statement respecting
Mr.. Cobbs is given by the Age-Herald with
entire authority:
~. B. Cobbs has resigned his position as
president of the Berney National bank, to
take on the 31st instant. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Co1bs has been offered and will
accept a position with the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company. 1t is said
that he will be vice president of that
strong nstitution. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Cobs left the Berney National bank
with the kindest feeling existing towards
him by the directors and officers of that
association
Long Connected With Banks
There is no man in the business life Of
Birmingham more cordially esteemed or
honored than Mr.. Coibbs. To many old
friends and men who have stood by him
and sustained him his departure from the
Berney will have a personal significance
Mr.. Cobbs came to Birmingham in March,
1888, when the city was in it's swaddling
clothes. He became the only boolxkeeper
of the old National bank of Birmingham,
and then became paying teller, which po-
sition he filled until the bank became the
First National bank of Birmingham. In
| 1885 he was chosen cashier of the Central
bank of Birmingham.
In January. 1886, the Berney bank was
organized and Mr.. Coibbs was made cashier,
| and remains today the only one of the
| original officers of that prosperous and
| powerful institution.
In 1893 Mr.. Cobbs was president of the
clearing house and conducted the business
| of Birmingham through the disastrous and
| memorable panic of that year. 1t was I'M
| der his administration and by his advice
| that the banks issued the now worldwide
| famous clearing house certificates which
saved the banks of Birmingham and Of the
| United States from disaster in that terri
| flying time. The first clearing house cer-
| tificates ever issued as they are under
| stood today bore the name of J. B. Cobbs.
| In 1894 Mr.. Cobbs was made president OF
the Berney National bank. the position
| which he will give up July 81 to become
! vice-president of the Birmingham Trust
and Savings company.
