''Roseate Eden's Bitter-Sweet
 "When first came to Birmingham, in the spring of 1890, Joe Monerief was one of the best known young men here, and he had made more money than any other young man who had risen upon the ex> traordinary tidal wave of Birmingham's 8 boom, said a Black Belt man last night. MT. Moncrief was most fortunate in Birmingham; but perhaps the most fortunate fact in his life was that he had the strength of character to return to the family plantation in the Black Belt and stay there!'

Joe MoncrIef.

A great many folk in Birmingham re- member and esteem Joseph T. Monorier, a brilliant young Montgomerlan of an old and historic family, who won fortune here in Birmingham In the 'boom' days of 1Ss4-S7, and for whom Moncrief Station, on the old Highland Avenue dummy line. was named
 MT. Moncrief is now stout and strong on the splendid plantation of his ances- tors in Montgomery County, near historic Letohatchee, in Lowndes County, MT. Moncrief uses the soubriquet Joe c, Phus, and recently he had a dream of Eden, which, condensed, reads:
 "Joe c. Phus falls to sleep In his musty attic and dreams of
 Love-lit Eden-A pain in his side caused by cgeretts pro- duces the hallucination that Yer
 nus Is fixing to make him an
 Eve-Says the goddess

 The people of this village will learn with deep feelings of regret that the Rev c. E. Bentham, for the past year pastor of St Paul's NJ.

Bentham's resignation will take effect in two weeks time and a fare well reception will be rendered him. The reverend gentleman is in receipt of two fattering offers, one from Washington, D. O., and another from Detroit, Mich, He is at present unde- cided which to accept. He is a tai ented speaker, earnest in his convic- tions and faithful worker.

INTERESTING CONCERT AT
CHOPIN HALL LAST NIGHT

The concert given in Chopin Hall
last night by Chevalier Pietro Buzzi
and others. was attended by a small
but appreciative audience.
Chevalier Buzzi, the Italian tenor,
has a voice of fine timbre and great re-
sonance. He sang the Last Rose of
Summer with such tenderness and
feeling and his rendition of the last
part of Lucia di Lammermoor was de-
cidedly artistic. He also sang Alone"
the song composed by Frank O'Brien
of Ell Paso. 1t was a very pleasing
composition. The singer was accom-
panied by Mr.. O'Brien in person.
Probably the most entertaining feat
ure of the performance was a little
character sketch given by Chatito Gar
ca, a chald Is years old. He impers-
Cnated a husband. with. lover, and
:erIsnt, and changed costumes with
remarkable rapidity.
Another boy named Escab oza from
JuGreZ performed on the violin in
very artistic manner, and the orchestra,
also from JuareZ rendered some good
selections.
