GETTING FOUND.

To the Editor of the Progress.
/ thank Authorized House Num-
Der" for his luminous explanation. / |
can readily understand that all the
odd numbers are ON the right hand |
of the street, unless you want to GO
the other way. In that case things
are liable to get somewhat mixed,
especially TO one who is a little
shakey as to which is his left hand.
And then it is such an easy matter,
when yeu want to go home, for in
stance. to step ever to the city hall
and consult the city map; but hon.
estly now, wouldn't it save time very
often to ask a policeman to- direct
you?
] am learning, however. can go
to almost any part of the city now,
and get back to the starting point, If
don't stop to 'study" the numbers
on the houses. I think / can alss
understand some of the skips, but
when they jump from 3l7 to 401 in a
score or so of yards, can't figure out
all the missing numbers, unless they
are located down in the fiat of Gordon
creek, back of all the houses.
meet q stranger at the intersection
of River and Buschmann streets-he
inquiries where Mr. B. lives, and I
reply at 40l Buschmann street. Now,
being stranger, it doesn't occur to
him to go to the city hall and look at
! the map, but he starts down the
street in the direction that point.
Observing the numbers Sol, sos, etc.,
he naturally concludes that 401 must
be somewhere beyond the ice factory.
So he begins to look where he walks,
and after going some $50 yards, finds
he is away along in the five hundreds
and so he must turn around, get ais
right and left hands all mixed up,
and then retrace part of bis steps.
But it is a grand thing, when we
once learn how to utilize it, and /
don't see how we got along without
it so lsng. And then it's cheap, too.
Those figures cost only 25 cts. apiece
fer the first hundred, and after that
Is 2-3 cts. apiece up to one thousand
And any over that bit apiece.
Hopefully, w. P. G.

I O'Clock Today.
Just at l o'clock today the first dirt
for the new bank building was
broken.
Little Miss Annie Phillips, the
sweet and pretty little daughter of
Prof F. F. Phillips, had been invited
by the contractor to break the first
dirt. With a cute little spade, the
handle entwined with ribbon, she
stepped forward and broke the dirt
for the foundation of the elegant new
three-story building. She made a
pretty picture as she dug down into
the ground with her little spade.
This little episode was purely IN
formal. no one.of her relatives pres
ent except n. J.. Phillips.
The contract for the building was
awarded to Zachary & Zachary OF
Mobile and the work will be under
the supervision of Chas. Pearson also
of Mobile. A big force of hands
have been employed and the build
ing Will be pushed to rapid comple-
