Ne notice by our exchanges that
II 2 great many ofthe smaller towns
ID every part OF the state cement
sidewalks are being laid in the bust
ness portions. This raises the ques-
ton why shouldn't Miller do the
same thing. The town is large
enough and the expense would be
very small when compared with the
good results OF such action. If the
city authorities we're to take this
matter into consideration it would
undoubtedly meet withthea approval
of a majority OF the property hold
ers in Miller.

DULL DAYS AT

GOVERNOR HAS GONE HOME
Chief Justice Mcclellan Has Suffl- cienily Recovered to Go to the CapitoI-Wounds Caused
 Him Much Suffering

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, March 9.-(SpeciaD-Since the departure of the legislators the State capital has become extremely dull. There seems to be nothing interesting-merely the drudgery of office routine.
 The clerk of the Housa and secretary of the Senate have been busy preparing the journals for the printer. Probably the busiest office is that of the secretary of state. He has a half dozen more stenographers copying the new laws for the printe:.
 The Governor has cleared his office of all accumulated work, if indeed there was any, and he left today for his home in Opelika to remain few days
 It Is a matter of much qualification to Governor Samford's friends that he has so well stood the hard work attendant upon a legislative session. The Governor has not only kept up with his work, but he has watched legislation with the vigor and care of a man possessing natural strength. Words of praise are heard for him from many sources.

PRATT CITY.
Negro Thief Succeeds In Making His
 Escape From the City Jail.

Pratt City, March 9.-(Special) A negro by the name of Nose, who had been arrested on the charge of larceny of a pair of trousers, which he had pawned, and a nickelplated watch, found on his person, escaped today from the city jail. While an officer was making some transfers Nose quietly walked out of the gate, and was several feet away before he was discovered. When commanded to re- turn he broke into a run and, getting a building between himself and the officer, he succeeded in getting away. The officer could not shoot on account of the crowded condition of the street. He fired once, however, without effect.
 The Merchants Retail Protective Association held its regular meeting last night over the Pratt City Bank. Only routine business pertaining to the affairs of the organization was trans acted

The Legislature and a Fable.

From the Marion County Democrat.
 The Legislature has adjourned. Most of the session was consumed In passing appropriation bills and in the end it was discovered that the appropriations amounted to more than the revenues of the State could pay and deficit bill had to be passed. The Legislature reminds us of an old man and his wife who were told by a fairy that three wishes would be granted them. The old lady being so delighted and also excited over the thought of prosperity wished for a yard of black pudding to come down the chimney. The pudding accordingly ccame. The old man was so vexed at his wife to think she had wasted one of the wishes wished that the pudding would hop upon her nose The pudding accord ingly hopped upon the old lady's nose Then two of their wishes were gone, and the old man thinking that all the money in the world would be no pleasure to him with his wife so disfigured, he wished the pudding would jump off of her nose, and the pudding accordingly compiled with his last wish.
