REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Most ambitions can come down very hard without going up very high.
 The lesson which most appeals to a man is that of the loaves and fishes.
 All women like good men for sons; for all other purposes they can stand a lit tie of the other kind.
 Our own sins do not teach us charity for others; rather the sins of others teach us charity for our own.
 It is easy enough to make a woman believe you love her-her vanity will take care of that The hard thing is to make her believe you appreciate what bless ing it is to you to love her, and that is, the same vanity,

NED BRACES TOUR.

From the Blocton Messenger.
 Editor E. w. Barrett, accompanied by some of his staff of the Age-Herald, is touring the state. MT. Barrett, under his sobriquet of ''Ned Brace" is giving the several towns he visits some very pleas ing write-ups. We trust he will not slight Blocton, the queen city of the Cahaba hills, in his tour. If he comes down to see us we will extend a right cordial well come to the greatteditor and he will find the Blocton-Cahaba district one of the thriftest, most prosperous sections of Alabama. A trip to this paragon of indus trial districts would prove eminently agreeable and profitable to ''Ned", and we herewith most respectfully urge him not to slight himself by failing to visit us.
 From the Livingston Sun.
 In the Age-Herald of Thursday and Fri4 day last appeared write-ups of York and Cuba, and their truck farms. A splendid description of Frank Holman's 3O-acre strawberry farm is given, and says he shipped 1000 bushels in 1901, for which
 
 shipments will be larger.
 The write-up of Cuba was particularly, good and gives pictures of leading citi- zens. Saysdt is the truck-farming cen- tre of Alabama" More than thirty full car loads of vegetables were shipped from here to Cincinnati and other markets last year, and the shipment in the next six weeks, 1t Is estimated, will amount to at least sixty cars. Fully 400 acres of the lands Of this neighborhood are planted in English peas and snap beans"
 Cuba is 9 town of only 700 inhabitants, yet it is perhaps the most prosperous small town in the state or the South. The farmers are making money and where the farmers about a town are making money the town Is usually prosperous. Besides it's great trucking industry, it re- ceives 6C0O bales of cotton annually. It also has jug factory turning out 1000 jugs day, and a crate factory which makes bushel baskets for the shipment of vegetables.
 The truck business-the peas and snap beans-however, make this town. and they are making 1t one of the most pros porous and best in South Alabama.

REVELATIONS APPALLING.
Never Before In American History Has 30
Much CrOOkedness Been Unearthed
~ In st. Louis.

St. Louis, June 2.-The April grand
jury, which has been investigating
municipal corruption with the assist
ance of Circuit Attorney Joseph W.
Folk, made its final report Saturday
to Judge Douglas. The report says
that while there may have been cor
ruption in other cities as great as
we have had here, yet in no place
in the world and in no time of his
tory has so much official corruption
been uncovered and the evidence
shown so that all could see and I'm
derstand. These revelations have
been so appalling as to be almost be-
yond belief and 1t will be years be-
fore the extent of the discoveries
are fully realized"
The report closes as follows.
"These disclosures make plain that
the tax payers of St Louis have been
mcrcilessly and pitilessly outraged
for years, that the money they have
paid in taxes has been squandered;
instead of being used for the public
welfare it has been feloniously dissi-
pated and benefited chiefly corrupt
officials who have grown opuIent on
small salaries. 1t is in the evidence
before us that a former collector Of
the city of St. Louis, who was after
ward mayor, received interest on
public funds for his own private ac-
count, The sum so received was
something over $4,000 which with
to date would amount to
about 100000 Any possible crimi-
nal charge arising out of this conduct
has been barred by the statute Of
which unfortunately is
three years. A civil action to re-
cover the money, however, can still
