GO TO MEMPHIS.
c. D. Smith 6 Go. to Begin Work on
 Big Railroad Contract.

Charles D. Smith of the general con- tractors firm of c. D. Smith & Co.,, Bir- mingham, left Birmingham last night for Memphis, and is being followed by large number of laborers with teams wagons and utensils for railroad grading. The Messrs. Smith having secured the contract fer building fifty miles of road for the H. linois Central from Memphis into the Zazoo Delta country, they are hurrying all their available equipment to the line of their new work, which will be vigorously pushed to completion. They have, in the meantime closed their rock quarry, twenty miles from Jackson, in order to devote all their energies to the new road, which is intended to serve q vastly rich territory that is now entirely without railroad con- veniences, and which lies between the main line of the Illinois Central in central Mis- sissippi and the line of the Vicksburg and Mississippi Galley road, near the Mssissip- pi river.
 The heavy and extensive character of this new contract will Eecessitate the removal of Mir. Charles Smiths residence from Bdr- mingham to Memphis He and his family will take up their abode in that city in Mareh,or sooner and presumably Mir. Wal ter Smith, brother and partner of MT. Charles Smith, will also reside the better part of his time in Memphis. These re- movals will be greatly regretted in Birm- ingham, which has been the home of the Smiths for eighteen years.

NOW A MONSIGNOR.
The Oldest Priest in Alabama Honored
 by the Pope.


 It is announced from Rome that the Rev. P Baasen, the oldest priest in Alabama, and at present acting as pastor at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrow, in Avenue F, in the place of Father Meurer, who is away on ten-days' leave, has been raised to the dignity of domestic prelate to the Pope with rank of monsgnor This honor was conferred on the recommendation of the Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of Mobile. Monsignor Baasen will be styled right reverend, and will have quasi epis- copal rank, but not episcopal jurisdiction. This is the first time the title of monsignor has been given to an ecolesiastic in this diocese.
 Monsignor Baasen was born in Lorraine, but came youth to the Unated States and received his theological education at ST. Marys Seminary in Maryland. He served with the Confederate army through out the war, and is one of the best known and most highly esteemed priest in the south. For years he labored a missionary in northern Alabama but for some time he has taught theology at St. Bern8rd's 8 College near Culman, conducted by the Benedactines, where he makes his home, al- though he Is not a member of the Bene- dictine order.
 Catholics and the monsignor's friends in general will rejoice greatly that this high honor has come to the good old priest.

BUSINESS BRISK IN
 MORRIS AVENUE
Commission Merchants Report
 Excellent Trade in Produce
EQUAL 10 CHRISTMAS RUSH
Unusual for This Season of the Year. An Exceptional Monday in the History of the Avenue.
 The Features.

Monday is not usually a day of heavy trade in Morris avenue. As for that mat ter the first half of January is usually characterized by duness. But yesterday was an exception to the Monday rule, and instead of a slow market up to the middle of January, brisk trade is promised from now throughout the rest of the winter sea- son.
 If the value of business done by the com mission merchants yesterday was not as large as any day in the week before Christmas, 1t was not far from it. The Saturday before Christmas was a record breaker, for traffic was congested then from a. m. until nightfall. The rush yes terday was not so great as it was on the day named, but it was certainly most re- markable for Monday.
 Every commodity was in demand and in some lines the supplies were inadequate for example there was only one car load of Mobile cabbage in the market, when ten or more could have been sold quickly. This fresh southern cabbage is a leader just now. The whole sale price Is $2. 75 per crate of 100 pounds
 Large quantities of pota toes both sweet and Irish were disposed of at quotations, briskly
 The commission merchants are getting 22c for country eggs. The supply is light, but retailers are opposed to paying 22c at this time of the year, and the price will prob ably drop to 200 before the end of the week. Turkeys on foot bring and Sc and with heads and feet drawn Pc. Hens are worth 25 to 35c, according to size.
 The butter quotations are unchanged. Fancy brands are in steady demand at last falls quotations. Common country butter is lower than 1t was two weeks ago. but it is moving along with the trade at prices fully up to present quotations
 Never in the history of Birmingham have the commission merchants reported them selves in a happier frame of mind than just now.

The Board Of County Commissioner
held q regular meeting on Monday, May
9, 1901, at which the following business
was transacted:
Present-Commissioners Fraser, Hancock
and Paroni; also the Clerk and District
Attorney.
The minutes Of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The Commissioner and Auditor counted
the money in the Treasury and found the
same correct.
A list Of the bills allowed will be found
in another column.
A petition was received from the citi-
zens Of Antelope Valley asking that their

H Z TAX EvY
At the meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners Monday the tax levy for
State purposes was reduced from one dol
lar to eighty cents to conform with the
Act passed by the last Legislature.
The tax LEVIED for school purposes was
reduced from fifty to forty cents. As an
increased valuation is to be placed on the
property in the county this year, a levy of
forty cents will bring in as much money
to the school fund as fifty cents would
have done under the valuation of last
year.
Under normal circumstances the Board
calculated that under the increased valu-
alton of property in the county a reduc-
ton Of from ten to twenty cents could
have been made in the county fund tax,
but owing to the increased expenditures
already made and to be hereafter made in
the repairing and building of roads and
bridges damaged by the recent foods, it
was not deemed advisable to make any re.
duction in the tax levy for county purposes
this year.
This new levy makes the State, county
and school fund tax foot up a total of 1922
outside the town of Eureka, and $270 in.
side the town of Eureka.
The Board adjourned until Tuesday,
May %, at 10 A. NJ.
