CITY COUNCIL AT CALLED MEETING RAISES THE
 LICENSE FOR FIRE SALES

Every department of the Alabama State Fair association was paid off yesterday up to date and the associatlon stands to- day without owing any one a cent.
 It is the first time in the history of state fair in Alabama that such a thing has happened, and President Krebs and Manager MacKnight were congratulated last night when the announcement was made They both state it is nothing short of a miracle, but that 1t is a fact It was accomplished by many hours of hard labor and planning and by faithful work on the part of the manager and presi- dent. Last night the last cent owed by the fair association was paid. Everything will be in readiness when the gates are opened to the public and the first view of the fair win not be one of blank places not filled by exhibits. In fact it is not matter of selling the space that is troubling the fair management, but it is the lack of space to accommodate the people who want 1t.
 Decorations are being placed on the buildings rapidly and last night several of these were nearly completed. All will be in readiness by Tuesday night, or Wednesday morning at the latest The decorations are the best ever placed on

HUMANE SOCIETY
 ISSUES ADDRESS
APPEALS TO THE CITIZENS OF
 BIRMINGHAM FOR SUPPORT IN ITS EFFORTS TO PROTECT DUMB BEASTS FROM CRUELTY.

A committee recently appointed by the public. has issued the following:
 To the Citizens of Birmingham:
 The undersigned as a committee ap- pointed by the board of directors of the Humane society of Birmingham desire thls society, and the great work that is to be done by it. There is no better es- tahhshed rule or principle than what is everybody's business Is nobody's busi- ness" Believing in this adage the Hu- mane society has taken upon itself the work of protecting the dumb animals of Birmingham from vicious masters as well as from thoughtless masters. Every emotion which actuates the human heart should and does direct that we ought to protect those unable to protect them selves. against ill-treatment. It Is a sol- emn duty which we owe to ourselves and posterity, to inculcate Into the heart and mind of the present and rising generation sacred recognition of the rights of durrb ,cnImals to care and attention and a freedom from the minimizing or mali eious cruelty of their masters.
 In a city like Birmingham, where the fixed expenses of the society amount to nearly S1OO per month, the society must of necessity be failure unless there is strong membership behind 1t, back ing the work with their financial as we'll as moral support. and it Is, therefore, our purpose and we hereby call upon every man aud woman in Birmingham, who de- sires to see the dumb animals receive the treatment and care and attention. which 1t is designed by God they should receive, to give the society their aid, both financially ana morally. The dues to the society are only $200 per annum, and we ought to have 1000 members in Bir- mipgham. as..es.. s Let us urge every citizen to send in his name and the secretary will call for your annual subscription Respectfully.
