A PRISONER IN
 THE COUNTY JAIL
Writes a Card of Thanks to the Ladies of the w.
 C. I. U.

The Age-Herald is in receipt of the fol- lowing card of thanks to the Woman's 8 Christian Temperance Union from a prisoner in the jail, with the request that 1t be published:
 To the Ladies of the Woman's Christian
 Temperance Union:
 Inasmuch as two of the members visited with a reminder of Easter--a little bou- quet of fiowers-we wish to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude. Such thoughtfulness enters these dismal walls as sunshine and strikes responding chords in our hearts.
 Easter Sunday is over. The clock has just chimed the hour of midnight The county jail is hushed in slumber. The guards and myself are the only beings active, I believe, the guards making their rounds, myself scratching with pen. An other day has passed and we have began a new one. One day nearer our God; one day more credited to Father Time. Our prospects for the future remain the same. We feel the touch of passing time, and its hand has left Its imprint upon the hearts
 of us all--either veal or woe. Some re-
 currence, no matter how insignificant,
 will remind most of us for time to come
 that Easter was nere; then, gently as the
 flight of birds, bells chimed it's passage. Sleep on, comrades! The pulsing Of its gentle balm gives peace and forgetfulnsss to su all, small great, child or man. It will some day be the sleep of long journey, when we shall pass into the mys- tic beyond. Remember this Easter. Its remembrance may be everlasting life. A next may never come. Good night; l, too, will court sleep and as I raise my head from this paper a tiny bouquet of yiolets meets my wandering gaze. A reminder of Easter-a gift, and only such gift as can be made by women. spray of na- ture, a little flower that recalls so much and seems to contain messages that noth- ing else supplies. Such a token of Easter touches the heart with tender fingers
 lays a gentle hand upon the past; 1t may be the face of mother, the embrace of a
 sister the age-lines of a father; per chance the stars blink to the lovers-wht knows, but the secret, income whispers of our hearts7
 These little Easter tokens which per fumed these dismal walls with their God given fragrance for a while, and touched the hearts here to the quick, bore each Q little white card, message from God. "The Lord is my strength and my
 shield; my heart trusted in Him, and
 am helped: therefore my heart greatly re- joiceth, and with my song will l praise Him." Psalms 2S:7.
 Woman's Christian Temperance Union Gratefully yours, A PRISONER. Birmingham Jail,s April I. 1901.

This work was undertaken by MT. Gibson at the request of Dr. Eugene A. Smith, State geologist, who formerly did 1t, but whose time has been so fully occu- pied with other matters in the last year or two that he could not give it the atten- ton necessary to make 1t valuable.
 The figures given out by Secretary Gib- son are as follows:
 Coal, short tone, S,504.37.
 Coke, short tons, 1,992561.
 Pig iron, long tons, l, ,155,5S3.

 "Vitrifed or paving brick. 100000.
 Refractory on fire brick, 6,760,0o0
