15,O0O PEOPLE WILL
 COME TO THE CITY
On Board of Trade Day-Committee on Ar Engagements Are Working Hard to
 Have Good Programme.

It is estimated that the crowd of visitors arriving in Birmingham on Board of Trade Day, July 9, will number not less than 15,OO0. The committee is making great prep arations to give the visitors a hearty wei come An attractive program is being ar ranged, and just so soon as 1t shall be com pleted it will be extensively advertised on all the railroad lines.
 The board of trade will request all the merchants to close at 4:3O p. m. on the 18th and participate in the parade, which will take place promptly al o'clock. Railroad tickets will be sold for half fare and will be good to return until the evening of the 26th
 It is understood that the retail trade will offer exceptional bargains to the visitors such bargains indeed as will make them marvel and proclaim Birmingham as the best shopping city in the land. The idea is to satisfy everybody that Birmingham is really a bargain town.
 It may be stated without fear of contra- diction that no city between Cincinnati and New Orleans carries such large and varied stocks as the Birmingham merchants who are, in the strict sense, up-to-date.

Kicked A gainst Babies

Little by little the following story was learned in connection with the messenger boy strike. The Postal Telegraph company a day or two ago employed two little fel- lows named Henry Duncan and Graham Suttle to add to their force of messengers, but as can be gathered from the above conversation, the older boys didn't like the innovation. They registered their kick, they say, but it did no good; so yesterday morning about o'clock five of the siillful little bicyclists who rush around Birming- ham in their blue uniforms delivering mes sages, "went out on strike" They were Red Lunsford. Bob Mccullough, Will Blackwell Cicero Blackwell and Dick Vance.
 One of the older boys, Earle Collins re- fused to join the strikers, and the other five seem to "have it in' for him.
 70, it was dead mean in him, mister," said the little striker referred to above.
 "tle was one of the first to say that he wouldn't work if the kids kept their jobs, but when the time come to quit an it was up to him to thro' up his job, he backed out, an said he was goin to wait for the compny to ship him. Roast him good for us, won't you, mister?"
 Whatever the cause of the strike and notwithstanding the sudden departure Of five of their messenger boys, the Postal company managed to make out fairly well yesterday. Exactly how the matter will be settled cannot be told until tomorrow, with the affair all five of the "strikers," :" who are a very bright and exceedingly clever set of lads, will be taken back and given their old positions.
