Talk About Things

zH1NW

The past week has been a
very encouraging one in our
business. We have found a
place i'll many kitchens where
our goods had not before been
found. And these kitchens
have been helped a lot, too.
So have we.
Mrs. HOusekeeper, have you
not had a better variety of
green grOCer's goods since
we started our business than
ever before ?
Do you want the market
continued ? IF you do, pat
us on the back.
OF course we cannot always
get just what we order from
the coast. Nor can we always
get what has been shipped as
soon as we expect it. There
have been several delays, en-
baraSSinp to us and an anuov-
ance to our customers, but
these things will right them
selves in time, and we know
our trade feels that we are
doing our best.
We have not said much
about a great many things
we carry for we have been
trying to attract special at
tention to our fish, oysters,
fruit and vegetables. just the
same we have a lot Of nice
table delicacies. Take the
matter of olive oil. Why, we
have home grown olives and
home made oil. We have Cal
ifornia olives and imported
olives and oil. Then there it
sauer kraut-the zeal thing,
bruised and pressed by old
fashioned Pennsylvania
Dutch methods. Let us sug-
gest that yon try some of our
sausages with our kraut. Yes,
there are some sausages that
caused so much com ment by
our advertisement when we
opened. But our Hebrew
friends are not the only Gus
toners among those sauSageS
now. If you don't use them,
you will before long, for they
are irresistible.
We have a line of shelf
goods-ample for ordinary
trade and much larger than
that kept by ordinary green
grocers. A few minutes spent
in looking the stock over to-
morrow morning will convince
you that we have much not
advertised.
We want country produce
of every kind. Mr.. Ranch
man, bring in your butter
eggs, cheese, fruit and veg
etabies.
Give us a chance every day
you come to town. Come
along with the stuff. We will
buy it.
During the week we will
have a full line of flowers
fruit, vegetables, oysters,
cheese, nuts, etc, fresh;every
day. Call and chat.

The Meihodists.

North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, which will open it's, S4th annual ses- sion at Tuscumbia next Wednesday, represents a-Gommunicant membership of 70,000, andrit includes only about one half of the state. Alabama con ference, organized about seventy-one years ago. reported membership last year of 52,556 It's next report will show an increase and the combined communicant strength of the Metho- dist church. south, in Alabama may be stated at fully 124,0OO. The Meth odist church leads all other denomi- nations in point of numbers and is second to none in aggressive work
 North Alabama Conference has on it's rolls many able ministers and few bodies in the south are such strong centers of religious influence. Of those divines who participated in the organization of this conference, Dr. Anson West, Dr. F. T. J. Brandon, Dr. T. c. Slaughter, Dr. J. W. Newman and Dr. R. A. Timmons are still in ac- tive service. Dr. Newman is the pains- taking and efficient secretary of the conference having been reelected an nually since 1S90
 Tuscumbia will receive the Meth odists this week with it's proyerbial hospitality and conference will give a fresh impetus to Methodism in all that region. The denomination founded by Wesley has been little affected by the worldliness or the agnosticism of this age. Its spiritual life is still characterized by uncommon fervor and it's great missionary work goes on with increasing vigor.

The Y c. A.

Birmingham is the only city of size and progress that is without large and well equipped Y M. C. A, bund- ing. But now that good start has been made in raising money for the building fund it will probably not be a great while, before the association finds itself in handsome quarters.
 In the meantime the association has bought and paid for one of the most. eligible sites on Twentieth street. It adjoins the Athletic club and To- cated on this site is comfortable wooden building which is used as a temporary home for the association.
 A gymnasium has been designed as a part of the permanent plant It is to be of brick, two stories high, and is to cost about $20,000. The directors of the association hope to begin work on this building by the middle of next month. Of the $9O,OOO raised year ago 9,50O was paid for the site, in cluding the house. After paying for the renovation of the house the asso- citation has about $900O in the treas ury to be applied to the gymnasium structure. The association pays cash for everything as it goes and in order to build the gymnasium about $11 900 of additional money must be raised. To this end the board of directors will resume at once the canvass for funds.
 Outside of the question of personal religion, every good citizen must ap- preciate the great moral influence in a community like ours of fiourishing Y. M. c. A. Such an institution throws around young men wholesome re- straint, and no organization outside of the church is anything like so up lifting.
 It is hoped, that the business men of Birmingham who have not already contributed to the Y. M. c. As build ing fund will respond literally when the canvassers call this week.

The Tennessee Valley,

Two letters appear in The Age Her. aid this morning from a special core spondent who was sent to north Ala bama to picture the past, present and future of that naturally blessed section of this state. His instructions were to draw a picture of the valley as it is; to extenuate nothing and not to boom, or overdraw anything. This he has studiously attempted to do. and his work is iruthfully done.
 Just now north Alabama, and espe. cially the Tennessee valley are attract ing the atten'ion of the whole country A section rich in agricultural ani Ein- ing wealth must be an attractive ob- ject of attention to capital and home seekers. There the rich may find re- muneration, and the poor profit for labor, as nowhere else, perhaps, in all the south. ~t
 In these letters, and those which are to follow, the uniting of the fiourishing towns of Sheffield, Florence and Tus- cumbia by the hand of capital is fairly tre ated, and the reader wIl grasp an idea of the splendid immediate possi-

Cuban Reciprocity.

The fact that the bill making oper- ative the Cuban reciprocity treaty passed the house of representatives by practically a unanimous vote, only twenty-one members standing out against it, should assure its passage in the senate without much delay The senate may attempt obstruction, but such proceeding could not be sue cessful.
 While the treaty does not go far enough in dealing with Dingleyism, it is not so objectional to any but the beet sugar interests as to warrant op- position. Once in operation needed re- forms can be pressed and finally car ried.
 The thing demanded right now is the operation of a treaty. This will put an end to suspense and will stim- ulate at once trade between the United States and Cuba.

The Old Log Cabin.

T feel some regret at the passing of the log cabin" said a man with rural in- stinct Tn proportion to its cost it is the most durable and serviceable dwelling ever built. Literally it costs the farmer not penny outside of the nails.
 "A house built of blanks looks more up to date, but in order to have a plank house the farmer must turn his cotton into money and then spend the money He can keep the money and have a com fortable house, too. by building it out of logs after the old fashion, l know 1t is treason against progress and prosper ity to talk up for the old log cabin, but it does speak for economy and self help and in it's palmy days the farmers were growing rich and the mortgage records were lean.
 "l have in mind a farm near Brming- ham, which has an old fashioned hewn log house coming down from the old times. and nearby is comparatively new barn all of plank. The log house is still as tight and comfortable as a ship newly caulked for voyage, while the plank barn is scanned with cracks like a prairie farm in a drouth.'

The Coosa River.

Representative Charles w. Thomp. announced that he will devote his best energies in the Fifty-eighth congress to the work of securing an appropria- tion for the improvement of Coosa river Other congressman are com mitted to this work and if they sticl; to it the money will be forthcoming, soon or late.
 The whole question of river im- provement in Alabama is one of such great moment and of such far reach ing importance that public interest in it never flags And it cannot be too strenuously pressed on congress.
 Steady progress is being made on the Warrior locks and dams with gov ernment money and under the diree- tion of government engineers. A great deal is being done on the Tennessee. Next in importance to the work on those great waterways come the rivers of the Coosa class
 The Coosa is navigable from Rome, Ga, to Gadsden, affording cheap trans portation through Cherokee and Eto- wah counties. But with an expendi- ture of ten or twelve million dollars it is roughly estimated the Coosa can be made navigable from Wetumpka, in Fillmore county, to Gadsden. This would add untold values to the rich lands of Chiffon, Coosa, Shelby and Ta1ladega counties. Farmers who now haul their products fifteen and twenty miles to a railroad would have, with navigable Coosa, water transportation within easy reach. hlver improve ment should be the watchword.

The suwanee River.

'"rhe other day" said a Floridian. T read an article in this column on the 'Suwanee River which much interested me and I was much surprised at the ig- noranoe displayed by the critic of the song, as | had been by others before him. In the first place there never were any "old plantations on that sluggish stream. It's headwaters are the Swanoo- chee creek which rises in Clinch county, Georgia, and it gathers strength from the Okeefenokie swamp. through which runs the line dividing Georgia and Florida. There is nothing beautiful about the rivz CT, and no plantations along it's banks. It runs through palmettos and Gall-berry bushes with nothing producted along It's way. 0pie Read wrote novel. the scene of which was laid on the Suwanee. and like northern people, he over-estimated the beauty of the stream. Of course the moss covered trees. and the overhanging bushes are novel and enchanting; the voice of the owl is heard and the song of the moclxing birds along the water way is delightful but that is all. The Yankee who wrote the verses should have se- lected some other river in the south for the old plantation song, for instance the Alabama or the Tennessee"
