Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Dec. 1S. Your correspondent went to Elkdale Park with Colonel Abbott, the President or the street car line. and looked at what ne was doing toward building a lake there. He had nine scrapers and a large force of hands at work and in about six weeks the lake that he proposes to build .n wiii De completed and the water from oyer three hundred gallons per minute, will be turned into the lake.
 "A great many of the trees between the guard house. built during the encamp- taken up. The lake will be four hundred and thirty feet long and two hundred feet wide. In the center of the lake there will pc pretty litt'> pavilion and the pressure rom the bored well will force water through pipes in various portions of the lake. thus keeping the waters free from stagnadon and mosquitoes. The immense volume of water that will pour into the lake from the six-inch bored we'll will be sufficient to refill the entire lake every day or two. Around the border of the lake there will be good walk eighteen feet in width and the borders will be beautiful flower beds. while the slope to the em- bankment on the outside will be covered with bermuda grass, which will be kept watered and that will make 1t always green and soft to the eye.
 The eight or ten acres where the sol uoiS uiAneo iaSt summer, Just north or the woods, will be enclosed in a ten- foot fence and the baseball park will be put there. The grand stand will be built in the grove of hickories and oaks Colonel Abbott also proposes to gravel a mile driveway around the park, just inside of the shade of the trees.
 The pavilion in the center of the lake will probably be built large enough for a dance hall. and with band playing, boating on the lake. laughter from the swings and yells from the bathers in the swimming pools near the lake, Elkdale Is destined to be more popular resort next summer than 1t has ever been before Colonel Abbott contemplates many oth- CT Improvements, but it not yet ready to take the public into his confidence, as there are some details to be arranged that might thwart his plans if he should give them out.

The Advertiser is in receipt of little volume of above title by George Newman Ward of Abbeville, Ala. In a short preface ths writer says:
 aware that 1t is in a measure departure from the usual book of miscellaneous poems, and, consequently may receive more less adverse criticism than if 1t followed closer in the beaten path. Most of the selections were written during my 18th year, not with view to having them published. but for my own pleasure. They still appeal to me as being true to human nature, and have decided to give them to the public. hoping they will be met with appreciation and favor by at least a few, and my purpose will be accomplished" |"
 The essays are all brief but make pleasant reading, while the poems appeal to the heart and to human nature.

at the o. NJ. w.
On the ton question Baer says that
when coal is mined by the ton it is
customary and necessary to make al

this company does not mine by the

unreasonable or unfair in the method
it has practiced in arriving at the
measurement of the coal from it's

Then Baer attacks the U. NJ. W.,
declaring it bituminous coal organ
ization, it's product being a rival in
the market of anthracite, and that since
it's (the U. M. W.) advent into the
anthracite fields the business condi-
tons hav ebeen intolerable on account
of strikes, lack of discipline, etc. He
