ing people as well as the deliberately il

the committee in charge of the entertain
meut TO be given tonight at the Columbia

the largest audiences OF the season. The
cause is most worthy as anyone who is ia
miliaT with the constant and uutiriug ID

The best evidence OF the good accom-
plished by this summer home is the ap-
pearance Of the little ones when they re-
turn to the city house in October after
their four months outing, and the absence
Of disease Of any kind during the w.utcs

POST EARLY YOUR
 CHRISTMAS MAIL
A Word from Postmaster Hughes
 to Business Men
RURAL FREE DELIVERIES
Two Routes Will be in Operation by January 2-Persons Should Pro-
 cure Mail Boxes at Once. s5 ,@s5> Routes in Detail. ,sdMTE

Now that Christmas is near at hand, Postmaster Hughes wishes to impress upon every one the importance of mailing Christi mas matter at the earliest possible mo- ment, and especially the importance of reg isterng all important matter, as by doing so it makes 1t absolutely safe. Registered packages as a rule don't get lost, and if they do they are more easily traced.
 Business men, said the postmaster, in talking with an Age-Herald reporter, "who send mail on the night trains between now and Christmas should mall their letters somewhat earlier than usual on account of the rush. It would be better still if they would send in their mail from time to time during the day and not wait until night. The sooner it is mailed the more certain it is to get off in time.
 "The rural free delivery system will go into operation January 2 1901,' continued the postmaster, and persons along the route should get their letter boxes in read mess. This can be done through the car riers while they are learning the routes be- tween now and January 9 Regular U. $. iron collection boxes will be placed at the Methodist College, the furnace and Wilkes Station on route No. l, and at Holcombe' s store, Rosedale, and Glenn Station on route No. ?. Route No. will begin at Eigth avenue and run through Smthf1eld to the Methodist College and Owenton Station; thence west, passing Compton and Hamil- tons, Scotts and Browns farms to the coke furnace; thence southwest, passing Bethle hem Church to Wilkes Station; thence eastwardly along the Birmingham and Bes- semer road to the initial point This route is 2lA miles, and the carrier is O. G. Due
 Route No. 2 begins at the end of town and goes to Holcombes store; thence east to the Zack Cross place, thence to school house, thence east to Rosedale, thence north to Gleen's store, thence out Walnut street to E street, and up P street to Roseville, thence east to P. r. Chastine's, thence west to place of beginning. This route will be 1912 miles, and the carrier is w. w. Carlisle.
 A third route will extend from East Lake, but this will not be connected with the Birmingham postoffice.
 On route No. 1 there are Al houses, and 705 people, and on route No. there are 150 houses and 750 people.

ANNUAL MEETING
 OF THE DOCTORS
Jefferson County Medical Society Elect Officers for the Con-
 ing Year-Banquet

The Jefferson County Medical Society held it's regular bi-monthly meeting last night, at which, it being the last meeting of the year, officers for the ensuing year were elected About ninety physicians were present. Reports were received by Dr. Wyatt Hefin and Dr. w. M. Jordan, the retiring president and secretary, which showed the society to be in a prosperous condition.
 The election for new officers resulted as follows: Dr. w E. B. Davis of Birming- ham. president; Dr. E. P. Riggs of Birm- ingham, censor, and Dr. J. M. Mason health officer. The censor is elected for five years; the health officer for two, and the others for one year. There was one woman doctor present who braved the smoke-laden atmosphere and voted like man.
 The balloting for officers being over the society enthusiastically voted to have it's annual banquet on Friday, December 2S A committee on arrangements was ap- pointed, consisting of Drs. W. D. B. Da- wis, chairman; R. M. Cunningham, Wyatt Hefin and George s. Brown. Each mem- Der who desires to attend may invite friend, but must notify the committee by Monday, December 24, and send the sub scription price, which will be $150 plate. One of the banquet committee wanted to resign as he said no committee could please Dr. -. The latter, however, prom ised to be satisfied if they would have some Mellin's food and boiled milk An appropriation was made out of the general fund for the entertainment of guests A motion was made that all members of sxty-five be invited free. Some one moved as substitute that all food be cooked by electricity.
 Before adjourning calls were made for Dr. Riggs, the new president. pr. Riggs made a short speech in which he thanked the society for the honor conferred on him. He spoke highly of the elder men of the profession, whom he said were not old foges but thoroughly up with modern methods. He also spoke favorably of the younger men. He said he was glad to see these new members so well equipped and well educated, and that they gave prom 1se of adding to the reputation of Birm- irgham physicians. Birmingham, now in tho front industrially with its coal mines and furnaces, gave promise of leading in the medical world with it's new and well equipped hospitals and talented physicians
 Dr. J. NJ. Mason, also in a few remarks returned thanks for his election as health officer.

Three Beautiful Windows.

The Mayberry Hardware Company make another radical departure from the travelled path of hardware mer- chants, and have dressed their hand some windows in up-to-date style, so that they are a credit to the store, which is considered the handsomest hardware store in the South. Their cutlery and cut glass window is the handsomest dressed window that has been seen in Birmingham in many a day, while the display of mechanic s tools in the hardware window is worth a trip across town to see.
