MIDSUMMER
 NIGHTS FESTIVAL
Al Lakeview Last Night Resulted in a Handsome Sum
 for Charity.

Several hundred people interested in char ity were at Lakeview last night to enjoy the midsummer nights festival held by the Ladies of Charity of St. Paul's for the ben eft of the charity funds of that church, and handsome sum was realized.
 The night was perfect and up at Lake view it was delightfully."- cool. The pavalion, park and lake were brilliantly illuminated. The seats had been cleared from the pa- vilion, for so many weeks the happy scene of summer opera, and there was dancing throughout the evening; most excellent music having been provided. There were a large number of dancers, and they were especially happy.
 Light refreshments of all sorts were sup piled in abundance, and nothing was ne- glected by the ladies which could tend to add to the evenings enjoyment. The en- tertainment closed just before midnight.
 There were many visitors present from Bessemer and from the various suburban towns. Some of the Bessemer visitors came in private carriages, and so had d charm ing drive home in the starlight.

THE MAYORS PEN
 VAS KEPT BUSY 
He Affixed His Signature to Two Hundred and Sixiy-Nine
 New Bonds.

Before leaving the city yesterday Mayor Drennen affixed his signature to the bonds recently issued to take up outstanding in- terest coupons to the amount of $269,0OO The bonds were engraved by Roberts 6 Son of this city, and are beautiful speci- mems of the printers art.
 The bonds are of the denomination of N,0W, and consequently there are 269 of them, numbered from to 269, both in elusive. Therefore the Mayor had to sign his name 269 times. He finished the task short time before leaving the city and turned them over to, City Treasurer George Eustls who countersigned them and in turn handed them to Steiner Brothers, tho purchasers.
 Each bond has sixty interest coupons for $25 each attached payable on the first day of January and July of each of thirty years they have to run. Thus it will be seen that when the city cancels the last of the coupons it will have paid $1,5OO inter- est on each bond, or $i03, ,500 for the entire series, and will still owe the face value ef the bonds.

COUNTRY PRODUCE
Chickens and Eggs Scarce and the Lat
 ter High-Butter Market Quiet

Eggs are very scarce and the price has been advancing steadily for week or ten days past. The jobbers' price yesterday was 1Sc. Arkansas is supplying some of the eggs offered here, but the largest shipments are from Nashville. Up to the latter part of July eggs were plentiful and dull. The price dropped to cents But the supply dropped off suddenly in August, and the receipts will continue light for some weeks to come.
 Birmingham is a fine market for chick ems. The normal summer trade calls for between three and four thousand a day. But receipts have not reached two thou sand a day this week. Good fries are quoted at 22h wholesale.
 The butter market is quiet; quotations un- changed.
 In vegetables there is the usual activity. Cabbage is in great demand just now. Car load lots are being received from Virginia daily, and jobbers find it difficult to keep up with the trade.
