NO MAIL YESTERDAY
 FROM LOUISVILLE
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE ONLY ABLE TO OPERATE A FEW MILES NORTH OF DECATUR. SOME MAIL VIA MEMPHIS.

No mail was received at the postoffice yesterday over the Louisville and Nash vile from any point further North than Decatur. Some mail was received Sum day night from Louisville and Cincinnati via. Memphis over the Kansas City, Mem phis and Birmingham railroad.
 There are fourteen trestles on the Lou isville and Nashville which have been washed away between Birmingham and Nashville and six or eight mails are tied up in consequence. The railroad has wrecking and construction trains work ing from both directions repairing the damages and it is hoped trains will be run through today or tomorrow.
 The mail from New Orleans has been arriving about five hours late. That which usually comes on the Alabama Great Southern has been coming on the Louisville and Nashville. It takes it about five hours longer to come to Birming- ham over this route. The Alabama Great Southern has been delayed somewhat in running its trains by the rains and wash outs but 1t is thought all trains will be running on time today and that the New Orleans mail will arrive as usual. There is no delay in the receipt or dispatch of malls on any of the other roads.

JOHN REED SAYS HE WILL
 DO BUSINESS ALL TC DAY

about John not having license, began several months ago. John opened shop where he now is and petitioned the city for a liquor license. Objection was made as Johns shop is next door to the Peo- ple's Home Telephone Exchange where a number of young ladies have to pass every day going to and from their work. Council thought 1t objectionable to have a negro saloon here and refused to grant him a license.
 Then John sought the aid of the law, or rather lawyers. He was first represented before meeting of the council by Attor- ney John Mcqueen, who argued that John should be given a license Council like Pharoah hardened it's heart and refused. At another meeting John was represented by Attorney B. M. Allen, who also ar gued Johns cause. Council again re- fused, and at third meeting John was represented by Attorney John G. Moore, who also urged that Johns petition be granted. John all this time was running his saloon without license, and as he was apparently not interferred with 1t never appeared why he was so anxious to have a license. Council at its last meet ing gave notice to John that It was tired of playing this little game, and that he must vacate the premises by April if he insisted on running a saloon.
