How Snakes Fasclnate.

The cobra of the Cape fascinates
birds by coilng itself on branch,

that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may be yarn" but from
the curious fascination which nonter-
rifying objects, such as lark glitters,"
have for some birds and their apparent
inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmerizing power
of the serpent may be conjectured.

BOYLES REALTY co.
 NOW ORGANIZED
STARTS WITH CAPITAL OF $72,ooo AND WILL BUILD AND OTHER WISE DEVELOP PROPERTY IN THAT PLACE.

declaration of incorporation was filed in the office of the probate judge yesterday by the Boyles Realty com pany, with a capital stock of s72.0Oo
 The stock Is divided Into 720 shares of the par value of $10O each.
 The incorporators are Michael Clifford, w. J. Grubb of Birmingham. The com pany will do a general real estate busi- ness at Birmingham. It is understood the company will build stores and houses at East Boyles at an early date. Boyles is about four miles north of Birmingham, and the activity in real estate which has existed there since the announcement that the Louisville and Nashville would build shops at that point shows no abate- ment.
 B. M. Starks has sold to the City De- velopment company plot of ten acres of land at Boyles, the consideration being $5OOo. As this Is at the rate of $500 an acre, 1t shows the value now being put upon real estate at that point.

NATIONAL GUARD ENcAMPMENr.
Some Volunteers Prefer chickamauua.
 While Others Oppose 1t.

A letter was received in Birmingham yesterday morning from Lieut.. Col. Frank P. Mcconnell, acting commander of the Third regiment, A. N. G., saying that the regiment would probably go to Chick amauga. The letter stated that two out of three of the battalions wanted to go to Chickamauga, and that the others wanted to go to Montgomery. or some other Alabama city, and not to the United States barracks.
 It was stated by a local military of ficer last night that if the regiment goes to Chickamauga there will not be POO privates who will go into camp. He also stated that 95 per cent of the enlisted men would rather go to an Alabama city where there can be a social side to the encampment and not the strict military rules of the United States barracks
 The sentiment locally seems to be en- tirely against going to Chickamauga.
