bama, and cannot be excelled for gas or domestic purposes.
 One hundred qOO tons per day are mined, and shipments of this output are made to Birmingham (where Walker & Co. are agents), to Montgomery, Selma, Meridian, Jackson, Tenn, Columbus, Miss, and Mobile, Ala.
 The coal is from the Corona seam and at Oakman it is much improved Aside from domestic use the output is very val uable and of superb importance as steam coal and not enough of 1t can be ob- tained for steam use, for which constant daily demands are made.
 Eighty acres constitute the volume of mines, and though nine years have con- sttuted the time of working the mines, only slight impression has been made. MT. Kirlkwood the manager, confidently believes as many more years will be nec- essary to make an impression and work out the mines and fill the demands which are constantly being made upon him. The Gas Light Coal Company furnish ab- solutely the only semi-canal coal in Ala bama. and their coal cannot be eXcelled for gas or domestic purposes in this or any other State.
 As a positive evidence of the value of this coal 1t may be stated that through the entire depression MT. Kirkwood, the president and general manager, was one cent per ton, and that his force was kept regularly at work through every storm that blew. and that today his out

About half an hour before the opening of the days session, mid dle-aged man, with few books under his arm, walked rapidly through the Senate reception room, and, as though he had been accustomed to do it dozen times a day, turneu into the lobby. He made his entrance with such an air of authority that no one stopped to question him. Entering the chamber, he sought out Senator Dol nyer. sat down beside him, and en- gagged him in conversation. In few moments the gentleman opened up in praise of the books he carried, and ex- hibited the specimens, dilating upon the rare excellence of the bindings, the paper and the print. Senator Dol liver was naturally taken by surprise to find himself besieged right in his senatorial chair by book agent, but recovered himself enough to ask: How did you get here?"

 On the first floor of the immense buili- ing the company handles dry goods, gro ceries and hardware. On the second floor furniture; on the third wagons buggies etc. the whole constituting a general de- partment store.
 The company is strong financially, and the personnel of the management Is enough to insure perfect success They have every facility for handling an im- mense business. Besides the immediate community business the company enjoys, they have already established large and valuable business among the plant CTS, timber men and miners of Walker, Fayette, Marion, Winston, Cullman and Blount counties, and are pushing their business with all the energy and means they possess. This means much not only for the company, but for the increased wealth of Jasper and Walked counties, for it is well known that legitimate and progressive mercantile business is wealth-producing to a community, as well as to individuals. Jasper and Walk CT counties will feel the quickening h. fiuence of the Long & Richardson Mer- cantile Company.

GAS LIGHT COAL.
One of the Most Progressive of the
 Mining Companies.

One of the most progressive enterprises in Walker county and one which has worked wonders in calling attention to the superiority of Walker county coal, located in the very town of Oakman, on the Southern Railroad, is the mine or the Gas Light Coal Company. The leading spirit in this enterprise in fact the pres ident, manager and lessee. is that sturdy, far-seeing Seotchman, MT. David Kirk wood Perhaps no man is more oonver- sant with coal values than this enter prising citizen Being practical coal miner and business man of great en- ergy and sound discretion he has made q wonderful success of this property, For nine years MT. Kirkwood has worked this mine without interruption or shut-downs, and has kept about sixty (6G) miners bus fly and proitably at work, supporting their families who amount to a popula- tion of three thousand people.

The Southern Coal Company.

It is well known to many of the Age- Herald readers that Messrs. L. B, and J, O, Musgreve, though young In years, are entitled to be called pioneers in the development of the Walker county coal industry, By will foresight and thor eugh acquaintance with natural cendi7 tiens in Walker county, they have made a handsome competency as developers along this line, The senior, Mir, l., B, Musgreve, is now president of the South ern Coal Company, whose mines are at LociShart, on the Southern Railway, MT. John A, Ryan is general manager, MT. Harris P Gibson, secretary and treas urer,
 This company owns 3ooo acres of coal lands, working the Corona seam. They operate'by drift mining, and have an out put of 800 tons per day,
 At present the product of the Southern Coal Company gees down the Mississippi river by the Southern Railway barge line.
 This property is consolidation of the Smith, the Lockhart and the O'Brien properties and was bought by the Mus grove Bros. some years ago,
 A large number of new dwelling houses for the miners have just been erected, and Lockhart is now village of con- siderable importance, with happy, con tented and prosperous citizenship.
 The mining machinery is new and or most modern make, and certain it is that there is not more valuable or more prospereus coal mining property in the State Ready sale is found for every ton of coal here mined, every month in the year, and the operatives find no reason to complain at the facilities afforded them for obtaining due reward for their labor, There is coal and remunerative work at Lockhart for hundreds of people for years to come, and the company is one of the principal factors in the promotion of the Walker county coal industry

From the Youths Companion
 The following is an opinion doubtless to be shared by many Americans who heard Matthew Arnold lecture during his stay among us. After his return to London, at the close of his first American tour, he visited Mrs. Proctor, the widow of Barry Cornwall and mother of Ade- laide Proctor.
 The lady was then 80 years old, and in giving MT. Arnold cup of tea asked. with the pardonable frankness of age:
 And what did they say about you in America?"
 "Well,' said the literary autocrat. ''they said I was conceited. They said my clothes did not fit me-"
 Well, now" commented the old lady, 'I think they were mistaken as to tho clothes"

This ore has been successfully worked for years and the product shipped to the Birmingham and the Sheffield fur naces.
 The ore in this field is said to contain above 45 per cent. of metallic iron.

An Agricultural County.

The agricultural interests of Walker county are worthy of special notice. The soil is fertile and easily cultivated. Small farms dot the valleys, the table lands and the hillsides. Corn, cotton. oats, wheat and potatoes are the principle crops, but many other valuable food crops grow luxuriantly and profitably. Fifty bushels of corn to the acre and as much as bale of cotton to the acre is not unusual in the valleys of rich black soil.
 The soil around Jas per produces apund- antly vegetables of all kinds, and the grasses grow well in every. part of the county. .------ =.
