 pr. Grove a Farmer.
 "The strikingly stalwart sturdy and suaye Dr. Grattan B. Grove, whom Bir- mingham has known so long and liked so well is about to quit this valley for the fair fields of his erstwhie county of Bibb; is about to forsake the electric light turn his back upon the temptations of the town. and go forth farming and to farm. sowing and to reap-seeking peace where the plowman turns his furrows and lis- tens to the song of birds by day and slumbers to the lay of beetles by nightr' said man about town last night.
 "one may envy Dr. Grove many quail ties of his admirable physical and mental makeup, but likewise is he to be envied because he is putting away from him the unbeautiful things of the man-made town for the charms of the God-made fields and wood.
 "Dr. Grove is CT gwlnter farmin,' he sho is. an he jes reckons on Twin in peace an health, and hopin' you is en- joyin' tn same great blessin'i
 That is the sort of man Dr. Grove Is, as those who know him best to love him best are ready to bear glad witness. He is a right-down, jam-up, all-around good fellow, with heart as strong as a lions and as tender as baby's. That's Grat- tan Grove. and no mistake.
 Read this from the Centreville Press newspaper: | {" aDr c R Crowa has. m owed his eitf- zenship to Bibb county and will in future make this place his home.

 That's right; and about this time next year Editor Nunnalee of the Press will print something like this:
 We tip our over-ripe straw hat to Farmer G. B. Grove for the largest and most toothsome sweet potatoes and the largest and yellowest pumpkin we have seen in years. Many of the potatoes very many--would weigh seven pounds and half. What about possum to go with them taters, Doc? Call again. Our latch-string Is a little worn, but it still hangs on the outside to our farmer friends. 'Nough said.'
 "In all sincerity. even as all these | words are spoken, there are great many good men In Birmingham who will learn with keen regret that comes of comrade- ship severed that Dr. Grove is quitting Birmingham, for he Is the best of good fellows, blg-hearted and companionable, and he is gifted to a rare degree with that vanishing quality of refined hu- manity that goes by name of courtesy. | In that respect, at least he is a living lesson in civility to the multitude with true civtltiy unacquainted'' About Persons.
