Local Weatherman Jacobs was enjoying
considerable personal satisfaction yester-
day on account of the mild temperature,
stiff northeasterly breeze, and brilliant sum
shine He was like everybody else, comfort
able, and had the additional advantage of
having participated in SO ordering the
weather in general and for Jones valley
IN particular. He said that the principal
local effect of the storm that came over
the Caribbean sea, striking the mainland
from Florida to Virginia, would be cooling
winds and lower temperature Local rain
was not on the weather programme. But
still-one never can tell.
IL pray you never let me hear that mans
name again." "oltaire cried in spirit of re-
voting blasphemy. The plea might be put
up today in practical form concerning one
or two distinguished Alabamans whose
business should be to retire 1.-The business
of the opposition is to oppose!' declared
Lord Randolph Churchill; dctum that is
gospel to our cherished Democratic party
in America. Clearly the business of re-
tired man is to retire. The name dearest to
any man or men would become tiresome if
for ever reiterated. Americans who are
Americans very nearly worship the MEM
DRY of the Incompatible Washington; yet
to name a boy for him nowadays is very
nearly a fiippant jest. Won't some of Ala
bama's beloved give Alabama rest?
The brothers Clark-John w. Clark Will
liam F. Clark and Richard P. Clark-long
known and warmly esteemed young men
of Birmingham, have decided to become
their and will
open their place of business in Twentieth
street about the 18th of the current month.
Two of the brothers already have the ex-
cellent knowledge of this branch of trade
that can come only of experience, and the
other brother is of demonstrated business
capacity And behind their expert qualif-
cations for the trade in which they are
engaged is the best of personal character,
the straightest personal integrity
These facts are known to the people of
the community who have been pleased wit
nesses of the efforts and the triumphs of
these brothers Clark. And the brothers
will do something higher than the achieve
ment of mere business success: they will
deserve it,
For long time a modest and dainty lit
tie woman in black carrying a little hand
bag, has passed up and down the busy
ways of Birmingham, and doubtless thous-
ands of passersby have deferentally OBJ
served her gentle and refined face, her
graceful and almost timid bearing, as she
hurried along looking neither to the right
nor to the left. To the thousands the I'M
pretending little woman was unknown; but
there were hundreds in glad homes who
welcomed her gladly. She was made as
one of each family she visited; and yes
terday morning many a good woman and
mother, and many a child and maiden
were shocked and grieved to read in this
newspaper this brief statement:
The friends of Mrs. e. Brenon are re-
spectfully invited to attend her funeral
which will take place from her late resi-
dence, 600 South Fifteenth street, at
CLOCK this afternoon. Mrs. Brenon died
suddenly yesterday morning from stroke
of apoplexy."
The dainty little woman in black was
mrs Brenon, who was given to her little
SIX feet of earth as the sun of yesterday
was going down. II thank God 1 tried to
De good to her, good mother said last
night. Mrs. Brenon earned her living by
visiting the households of society and
dressing the .4r OF fair women and chill
oren She won the affections of them ALL
and all of them grieve that they shall have
her no more with them. She was a little
gentlewoman, with a great soul of song
and light to whom fortune had not been
generous. She was a toiler, and those for
whom she toiled loved her. Noble life. no.
BILE reward of affection!
