sixty afternoons in the foul and noisome atmosphere of the great white palace on the hill
 Yet there is many happy blow boy in many an American field, free and inde- pendent blowing row after row till the field be done, who sighs and longs and dreams for this Washington, this mecca of ambitions that might be nobler turn ed. We are told of some blow boys who In the after times came to make here a place in history, that they would drop their blow lines, mount the stumps and deliver eloquent speeches to an imagin- ary Congress, a dream Senate fantastic House. These will wear out their brave hearts in yearning to give up their peace pride, independence and health for the turmoil the bitterness and the disap- pointments of the Congress They are slaves to the presumption that glory for ever broods upon the Capitols dome: they assume that It's spirit pervades all Washington; they hunger to be here and taste of this glory and these riches. un- mindful or ignorant of the fact that there is little glory and no riches to be had out ol IL all. BeIter thousand times better, for them is June-time. noon-time amongst the cotton or the corn. More hearts have been broken in this Wash ington more souls brought to despair. than upon every farm in all this land. Could the boy of the fields see things as they are here, and know them, methinks he would keep his love for his own fields
 But here's to the happy schoolgirl, the June bridegrooms and the brides, to those who loiter here and gladden. the eye of such of us as can't get away; to those in every town and village in all the forty nVe states! Better be a school boy or A school girl in our valley at home than to be here struggling for glory in Con- gress, and struggling for society leader ship where society most congregates. Ret ter the joys of the home life than the trials of life in any condition here Bet ter be lovers swinging upon the gate at n1ghtfall than to be vainly seeking loves tryst In the city.
 Stlli' heres to the school boy and school girl the June bridegroom and the bride. And above all things, here is to Faith. Hope and Charity always.

~1 AM glad to learn that President
 Roden of the Commercial Club has u entered upon the duties of his - new office with a determination to be up and doing. He believes that the world accepts ones estimates of ones own worth and abilities. Likewise the world accepts city or district at the value it's own people place upon it. He would therefore urge every man not to hesitate to express himself upon all occasions and at all times on the sub ject of Birmingham In other words we know we have the best section of the earth and we should say so in loud tones and with pyrotechnic accompani- ments when necessary and on all occa- sions. Having much to blow about, we should blow, so to speak.
 As a matter of fact, we have much pres ent and prospective to congratulate our selves upon. The Seaboard Air Line is spending several hundred thousand dol lars for terminal properties in Birmng ham. The improvements this system is to construct will mean the expenditure of two or three hundred thousand dollars additional in labor and material.
 The Southern Railway Is likewise pur- chasing much additional property in Bir- mingham to be used for extending its ter minals, all of which Is to mean an in- vestment of over two hundred thousand dollars. These extensions mean the es- tablishment of many small industries wi, xui1 1oa N1 fO Sttpc on railroad lines at moderate prices. All of the railroads now have their industrial agents out working to bring industries

They have manifested tl,is by grantin., to the Seabcard all the franchises aal privileges it's officers have asked.

Otherwise the Sea5oc rd people, who a. ready have their rails and crocstcs here. may he prevented froa. laying tracks and building depots until late in the fall.
 The matter can as well be settled this month as by postponement until October or, November. Delay can be of no finan- cial advantage to either concern, but can put a temporary stop to the growth of Birmingham.
 By the way, I bear that the Louisville and Nashville has acquired control of the Chattanooga Southern Railway and will in the near future begin it's practical operation as a part of its Anniston and Gadsden line.

Translated fram the Latin by John ', Nealc.
 Jerusalem, the guldcr,
 With milk and honey blest. Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprcsscG I know not, o, I know not, What joys await me therc What radiancy of glory.
 What light beyond compare. They stand, those halls of Zion. All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And the martyr throng; The prince is ever in them, The daylight Is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. There Is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph. The shout of them that feast: And they who, with their leader, Have conquered in the fight Forever and forever
 Are clad in robes of white.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Sun.
 The bird of paradise Is the stork.
 Honesty Is the best of policy for the man you are honest with.
 There Is no use in trying to love any woman by fixed rule.
 A woman never wants to forget her first love; she never wants to remember her last.
 If man could underst and one woman in the world he could understand them all; but he stops at the first.

There is considerable development in Clay county one of the richest counties in the state. and as soon as the East arn Railway of Alabama is completed from Talladega to Lineville, distance of thirty odd miles, capital will flow freely Clayward," said MT.

bridegrooms and the brides come and go and the lovely school girls arriving and departing, and thus at this season, there Is scarcely more delightful place to be found than that great place of dust and smoke and noise, ringing bells and shriek- ing whistles, and the hurry and rush of humanity, glad and sad. As a poet of the day expresses it in very fine verse: Here the night is fierce with light
 Here the great wheels come and go Here are partings, waitngs, meetings,
 Mysteries of joy and woe.
 Here Is endless haste and change,
 Here the ache of streaming eyes, Radiance of expectant faces,
 Breathless askings. brief replies. Here the jarred, tumultuous air
 Throbs and pauses like bell. Gladdens with delight of greeting,
 Signs and sorrows with farewell. Here, ah, here with hungry eyes
 l explore the passing throng. Restless, I await your coming
 Whose least absence is so long. Faces, faces pass me by,
 Meaningless, and blank, and dumb. Till my heart grows faint and sickens
 Lest at last you should not come. Then-I see you. And the blood
 Surges back heart and brain. Eyes meet mine-and Heaven opens
 Your are at my side again.
 In these glorious days those of us who are cooped up in the city think of Riley s ''June-time, Noon-time" and long with him to go out by some laughing water, and throwing ourselves upon the grass, Jest rest and rest and not do nuthin' else" Such place and such a condition seem very far away from baked streets, rumbling cars and noisy vehicles of all kinds; seem so far away as to be like unto a dream. One would be glad to get out of hearing of all this sound of the city; all the vain babbling in Congress all the making and unmaking of politics and policies; and all the signs of the demagogue and the time-server. One hour spent as Riley dreamed of were worth the ablest speech heard in Congress since the flowers began to blossom. A day there were worth the greatest law enacted in all these weary months of law-making. Better fishing pole than the gavel of the Senate. and luncheon basket than the mace of the House. Better an after noon in shady nook far away, than

THE ART EXHIBIT.

The drawing exhibit which was
open to the public Friday afternoon
under the diection of Miss Willard,
was surprise and delight to the many
friends..a and patrons who availed them
selves Of the opportunity.
The work was arranged in groups
each consisting Of the work Of one
grade.
The drawings consisted of historic
designs in surface coverings, border
work, etc., original work, work from
objects, posing, etc., construction and
lessons in coloring.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with red, white and blue bunting
with silk flags. The stands with the
potted plants added much to the
beauty of the hail..
A booth on the stage from which
was served frappe and waters by
Misses Cairns and Palmer assisted
by Misses Small, Serumgard and
Sanford, were much enjoyed by all.
Different members of the High

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

With references to the practice Of
delaying ball games beyond the time
advertised, the Winnipeg Telegram
offers this timely suggestion:
There is one thing which the execu-
tive of the league would do well to
keep carefully to the front, and that
is the prompt starting of the matches.
Last season play ball" was not al
ways called at the advertised hour,
and the game suffered IN consequence.
There should be no foolishness in the
matter. Let the executive order the
games to be started on time and pena-
lize the club which fails to have its
nine on hand when wanted. About
three fines well distributed would have
the effect of getting the men on the
grounds in all kinds Of time.

speaker believed that at present the
teachers were doing more for the
pupil by abolishing the old system Of
compelling the scholar to learn pages
OF meaningless rules and definitions.
He believed that more is accomplish
ed by teaching the pupil love for
home and kin. That this would re-
suit in less street walking and more
home staying, in after years. He
thought that love was essential to life,
and that the more love the more life

He believed that too many rules
