more Blessed to Give Than to Re-
ceiYe.'

at is nearing the blessed holiday sea-
son of the year when it is meet and
proper that we should think of those
who deserve our consideration, and send
to them in remembrance gift that will
warm the cookies of the heart. Most
people recognize this and are glad to
comply with the dictates of the heart in
this regard
SO says recent writer. Rather
than run the risk of congesting traffic
on the sidewalks and blocking the
streets with dilivery wagons, we
throw out the suggestion that those
who contemplate flooding the GOLD
LEAF office with presents had best
begin early and avoid the rush.

Juliet Captlvates Cultivated Audi
ence In Durham.
From the Durham Sun we take the
following notice of the production
OF Romeo and Juliet in that city last
week by the Simvelle Company:
Those who attended the performance al
the Opera House last night when Sim
velle's production of Romeo and Julie,
was presented, witnessed play whicl
stirs the very soul within the body.
| The play is in six acts and from tht
very beginning until the curtain drops il
the closing act it is more than interest
ing,
Louis NJ. Mortelle, as Romeo and Miss
Louise Clark, as Juliet, are about as
good actors as we remember to have
ever seen coming this way. The support
is fairly good
To attempt a description of the play
would take up too much of our space
but we can say that the features of the
play We're up-to-date.
The balcony scene, in the second act.
was grand and the acting of Romeo and
Juliet was such as very few people can
carry out.
The scenery carried by this company is
perhaps the finest that we have ever seen
put up here.
In the last act. the vault scene of
Capulet's tomb, and the duel between
Romeo and Paris, which takes place in
the tomb was exceedingly good.

HOW WE CATCH A COLD.
A cold is sometimes contracted while re-
naming inactive for awhile in an uncomfort-
able room cold draft and by falling to
sleep under like conditions. But most colds
are caught while sleeping too cold at night.
Deep sleep causes sluggish circulation which
renders the system susceptible to change of
temperature. To prevent colds sleep under
plenty of cover. To cure colds use Rydale>
Elixir, it lessons the severity and shortens
the duration of cold and prevents Pneu-
monia, bronchitis and consumption. EAGLE

 Be 1t resolved by the mayor and board

 businesses now existing between the
 Jefferson theatre and Eighteenth

 ritory must vacate by January l.

 This resolution was favorably reported by the miscellaneous committee and the records show 1t was adopted by the city , council on November f.

STORY OF PATIENTS DEATH AGAIN
 TOLD IN TRIAL OF WILLIAM WISE
STACKS ON SECOND AVENUE
 WILL HAVE TOBE REMOVED

The idea of removing this nuisance was first suggested to me-" said Alder man Greener "by a fight we had on the floor of the council over the granting of a license to a saloon on a certain street on the southside It was argued that this saloon should not be opened as the lit- tie school children had to pass in front of 1t every day. Seeing the justice and force of these claims I thought 1t was poor rule that would not work both ways so I introduced a resolution to abate the nuisance along Second avenue.
 Every night and almost every after noon you can see well dressed women and pretty children walking along this street In front of this place, which has become an eyesore to Birmingham, on their way to the theatre. The women's dresses often soled by the filth on the sidewalk, and they and the children are frequently forced to brush against rough out of these restaurants fish stands and dens of iniquity. After explaining thls to the council my resolution was passed unanimously. I will feel that have done one good thing for Birmingham when these shacks have been torn down and their inhabitants ousted."
 According to the law if the owners Of these houses have not removed them by the first day of January the city authori- ties are empowered to begin the work ] of demolition
