FIRST SPRING POEM.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. An editorial squib to the effect that The Age-Herald awaits with bated breath the appearance of the first spring poem" appeared in your columns of Fri day last Well. the first one has bobbed serenely up, having appeared in the poets corner of The Hullegan Herald of its current issue, signed by MT. Sprintley Spraddles. Below we submit it for your inspections:
 We thank the Lord for sunshine, This country round about, For babbling rills and greening hills And buds a-putting out. We thank the Lord for sunshine We are thankful for the spring, For droning bees among the trees And sweet voiced birds that sing. We thank the Lord for sunshine And for the iceman, too, For a thirst to slake, for wine and sack And mint and mountain dew.

The County Auditor.

In recent communication published in these columns the statement was made that an auditor for Jefferson County was useless office. The Age herald disagrees with the writer of the article. An auditor is a necessity in every well-regulated business. Un- doubtedly Jefferson County has been saved much money and it's books and accounts are in a better condition since the office was created and MT. Augustus J. Camp made auditor. The salary of $500 per year paid him for the service rendered the county is but g mere pittance in comparison to the value rendered. MT. Camp is one of the ablest auditors in this country. He is thorough and attentive, and 1t would be as great mistake to abolish this office as it would be for the United States government to do away with national bank examiners.
 The Age-Herald welcomes full and free discussion of all matters relating to public affairs, and especially the State, county and municipal govern ments of Alabama, but it has no hesi- tancy in stating that it would be a great mlstake to abolish the office of County Auditor The office is a good one, and MT. Camp is the right man in the right place.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Talk is cheap but silence is a better bar gain.
 Possession of your house Is nine points of the mother-in-law.
 Long tongues in men are sign of what long ears are in quadrupeds-donkeys
 Romeo was glad to climb up Juliet's balcony to see her, but after the honey moon he would have made rumpus be- cause there was no elevator.
 Men may pretend that they like to have their wives dress for sense and comfort. but the times when they give them an ex- tra allowance are when they come home and see them in something mighty fool ish but mighty pretty.

Hora Novissima.

The music festival rehearsals arc pro- gressing satisfactorily, and MT. Benjamin Guckenberger, the director says that he will have the best chorus at the April performances that has ever sung in Br- mingham. Theodore Thomas with his matchless orchestra will be a great at traction. Miss Electa Clifford. a young and captivating soprano, will be another great attraction. But second to none of the attractions will be the chorus. This band of singers, supported by the or chestra under Guckenberger' baton, will render Theodore W. Parkers Flora Novissina" at the first festival concert and Arthur Foote's Skeleton in Ar mour" and Max Bruchs Fair Ellen" at the second night concert
 Fair Ellen was heard at the last festival and 1t made a very big hit then The other choral works will be new in Birmingham.
 flora Novissima' is a master compo- sition, and while it Is distinctly religious 1t easily comes under the head of popu- lar music from the classic point of ap- prehension. It starts off with a chorus sung softly. Mir Guckenberger at last nights rehearsal spent much time on this opening number. At first 1t was not pianissmo enough to suit him, but he finally got 1t shaded to the poetic con ception of the composer. This chorus will be accompanied by a solo violin and loud singing would of course spoil the effect.
 Flora Novissima" will be sung In Latin. It begins thus:

Thus all the more creditable it is to MT.

En- viable distinction in the public life of the country is fast coming to MT. Adamson. and no man is more deserving.
