 the Autumn.

Demopolis, August 31.-(Special )-The committee in charge of arrangements for the Demopolis street fair. is here at work, and will try to make this event eclipse anything of the kind ever held in this part of the state. The fair win begin October 2S and continue until No vember 9 It Is the first street fair De- mopolis has ever attempted. and the mer- chants and citizens have so far contrib uted very generously towards making it an affair that will not soon be forgotten. Dr. Emil Stoessel Is at the head of the ex- ecutive committee and he is confident that the Demopolis Elks street fair will be one of which the city can feel proud.
 The steady growth that Demopolis has been undergoing for the past few years promises to be quickened by the money that the cement factory will bring to our city. This factory has recently been erect ed at a cost of over half million dof- lars, and the men in charge of 1t claim that cement equal to the best Portland can be made from the lime rock deposited in such large quantities throughout this section.
 This new industry, with the two large sawmills already in close proximity to the city, and the manufacturing estab- lishments in the place, itself promise to give Demopois quite steady boom.

The insurance companies have come
TO new decision with regard to the
granting OF policies to the crowned
heads Of Europe since the death of
King Humbert. They are willing to
insure them against all risks, save that
OF assassination, at slightly higher
rate than that eXacted from ordinary
individuals. This higher rate is pre-
sumably demanded in view of the fact
that royal blood Is supposed to be vi
tiated and impoverished. Kinng Milan,
about four months ago. endeavored to
insure his life. But although he was
mere ex-king, the companies to
which he applied would only consent
to give him policy with the special
assassination clause, which he declined.

attempted a short time ago to insure
his life in favor of Queen Draga, failed
to come to any understanding with the
