THE COURTS REST FOR THE SUMNER What the Judges and the Clerks
 Will Do. THE SOLICITORS AT HOME Gathering Up the Odds and End of Busy Terms-The Duties of the
 Rest of the Servants
 of Justice
THE SOLICITORS AT HOME

The local courts have concluded their routine work for the usual summer vaca- tions, and the clerical staffs are now en- gagged in gathering up the odds and ends" of more than ordinarily busy terms
 Judge Coleman has gone to New Haven to renew old associations and acquaint- ances of Yale after the half century that has passed since his graduation. Judge Greene remains at home, but may follow his annual custom of going to Talladega Springs for few weeks of greatly-needed rest and recreation, in which he will have the hearty good wishes of every good citi- zen. Judge Wilkerson is convinced that Birmingham is the best of summer resorts, and will spend his vacation at home. Judge sem may go to North Carolina for a few weeks Judge Carmishael does not contem- plate long absence from this valley.
 Clerk Howard is in much need of change, and hopes to get away next week for a time at some health resort. Clerk Burgin expects to remain at home, so do Clerk Gillespie, Clerk McAdory, and Clerk Gar rett
 Solicitor Heflin and Assistant Solicitor Mcqueen expect to spend nearly the entire summer on duty at the court house.
 Solicitor Ferguson has not fixed any plans for vacation, but he stands greatly in need of change and rest. MT. Ferguson has not been entirely strong of health re- gently, and for year past he has been very hard-worked. It is really needful that he have rest, and the public which he so faithfully serves will hope that he will take few weeks for himself There is not in the state a more faithful, more conscientious, more persistent or more capable servant of the public than Charles w. Ferguson. Appreciation of him is shown by perfect confidence and esteem on the part of the public, and by constantly increasing hard work.
 Sheriff O'Brien hopes to leave Birmng- ham for Asbury Park immediately after the state election, the first week in August, and expects to spend six weeks at the New Jersey seaside resort. Every year for nineteen years he has spent his vacation at Asbury Park, and he is therefore one of the 'odest inhabitants of the summer city by the summer sea,

THE PRODUCE MARKET
Peaches Tasteless and Rotten-Vegeta-
 bles Abundant

The country produce market has been dull in some lines and brisk in others this week.
 Owing to the wet weather peaches are insipid and rot quickly. In the last day or two the supply has exceeded the demand. Plums are very fine, and meet with ready sale at 75 cents per crate. Florida water melons are selling at 15c to 20c. Canteloupes are of inferior quality and there is no de- mand for them. They are quoted at 25c to 50c per dozen. Georgia watermelons will be on the Birmingham market next week.
 There is plentiful supply of homegrown potatoes, cabbage and beans on the market, and there is therefore no trade in shipped vegetables. St. Louis which does an ex- tensive trucking business is a month or more ahead of ordinary seasons. Her pro- duce shippers are trying hard to get into Birmingham, and at low prices, too: but there is no chance. Jefferson County is equal to the demand for vegetables. Fine cabbage is sold to jobbers at 1c per pound. Potatoes have dropped to COG per bushel.
 Chickens are in quick demand at 1212c to 15c for small fries and 221ac for large fries. Eggs are brisk at 1215c. Butter is dull at 10 to 15c. There is an abundance of choice butter in the market at 15c.

COUNTY SCHOOL
 LANDS LEASED Superintendent Fountain Makes
 a Fine Contract. WILL PROVE A GREAT HELP Sixteenth Section of Township IT Leas- ed for $500 Annually With
 7l-4 Gents Royalty Per
 Ton of Coal
WILL PROVE A GREAT HELP

County Superintendent of Education Jerry Foratain yesterday closed deal by which he leases $40 acres of school coal lands to a company to be organized in d few days at an annual rental of $500 and a royalty of 7A cents per ton on all of the coal taken therefrom.
 The only remaining lands in Jefferson County of the sixteenth section grant to the public schools of the state that have not been sold are situated in township r, range 5, west in Short Creek precinct about eighteen miles west of Birmingham
 For some time past negotiations have been pending between M. V. Henry, as trustee, and Jerry Fountain, superinten- dent of education of Jefferson County, looking to the leasing of the sixteenth section of township IT, and yesterday at noon the deal was closed at Oak Grove. The terms of the lease are that the com pany shall pay an annual rental of $300 and "A cents per ton royalty on the coal raised by the company, with a minimum annual royalty of $1,500. The company also agrees to put not less than $500 worth of improvements on the property within six months. The lease runs five years from the date of its execution A S2,500 bond was given for the faithful performance of the contract.
 The company leasing the property will be organized within the next week or two and velopment The rich Pratt seam runs through the land, and it is workable by drifts. The Ensley Southern Railroad, now under construction, runs through the sec ton.
 This is the only township in the county that still retains possession of its sixteenth section, and now that such an advantage ous trade has been made it's children will reap the benefit. The money the schools of the township will receive under this lease will be not less than $1 1,SOO each year and will probably run much higher. There are only 109 children of school age in the township, and if the receipts do not go above the minimum this will give each child approximately SIS for each year, or an average of about $2 for each school month. The leasing of this tract of land insures absolutely free schools for that township for the next five years at least.

LAKEVIEW
Formally Opened by Strong Dramatic
 Attraction

Much has already been said of the won derful Nello, whose juggling and wire walking act won the return engagement here, but the feature of the bill will un- doubtedly be MT. and Mrs John T. Chick the lightning landscape painters and socie- ty sketch artists who come direct from the Hopkins circuit. Special mention should be made of Raymona, the comedy roller-skate dancer, and Miss Lee, the comedy singer-a team of exceptional merit. The foregoing artists are to be supported by Margaret Kingore, the Cali fornia contralto, whose popularity as an unaffected and beautiful ballad singer is becoming national. The fact that Mir. Davis has undertaken the management of this place of amusement also is the guar antee of a refined and attractive pro- gramme.

STUDIO FOOD
An Artists Diet

An artist living in New York studio, writes regarding the advantage of proper selection of healthful food. He says: Some time ago a sister who had been i'll, wrote me of the good she had obtained from the use of Grape-Nuts food two meals day and that all the family made great use of the food. She recommended it very strongly to me.
 i'I had up to that time supposed this was a luxury and had not tried it, but sent for some and for quite little time depended largely on Grape-Nuts with a surprising result. I have largely lost my taste for meat and am unusually strong, walking a long distance daily, which for some years has been almost impossible.
 'I live in a studio and have neither time nor room to cook, therefore the Grape Nuts being ready cooked, come in as an especial boon and l felt I must thank you.
 "The Postum Cereal Coffee I have used a long time, and if that comes from you, 1t must come in for a share of thanks also" Ada A. Brewster, 2O4 w. tooth St., New York City.

Throughout the week the Tolson Dra- matic Company, supported by the pro- nounced favorites, Kieffer and Diamond, have been drawing constantly increased attendance despite threatening weather and the fact that the seats are only for the early-the house being crowded with en- thusiastic auditors. It is the popular eX- pression that no more pleasurable attrac- tion has appeared at the Lake Theater. Tonight a new bill is to be presented, en- titled My Uncle Prof Japan," a rousing farce comedy. Sunday night special pro- gramme will be given, including vocal numbers by MT. Eduards Davis, Miss Mar garet Kingore, MT. John Kieffer and Miss Grace Diamond.
