On che subject of neat and clever pro-
posals of marriage Professor Moore OF
the weather bureau is credited with
the following story:
A bachelor preacher had occasion to
drink, tea with maiden lady of his
congregation. She RECALLED him with
the bitterness of her life and surround
ings and expressed a longing to be Of
some service to her neighbors. The
preacher listened attentively. At ev-
cry pause in his parishioner's bewail-
ment he asked for another lump of su-
gar. After at least a half-dozen
squares Of sugar had been added to
the tea, the maiden lady said inquir-
ingly, why, doctor, you will have
more sugar than tea if you keep on"
But it's not sweet" protested the
doctor.
'"Then stir it, suggested the lady.
That's what I've been waiting for"
began the doctor. You are the sweet
ness lying idle in this community. For
not communicate itself to other peo-
ple.''
"Yet, DOCTOR" said the maiden. de-
murely, "it required g spoon to stir
your tea, the sugar would not act of
ITSELF"
"And would you be willing" faltered
the reverend, approaching the seat of
the other, ito take such an old spoon
as me to stir"
And then followed the same old
story.-Detroit Free Press.

 GEORGIA RATES

 With Boats on Rivers.

Montgomery, April 27.-(Special.) )-The bama are preparing for strong fight to have the Alabama railroad commission put into its fullest effect the new law governing the commission recently enact- ed by the legislature.
 Petitions asking the commission to put into effect the rates now in force in Geor- gia have been sent to some prominent quest that signatures be secured and the petition returned to Frank s. White, chairman, Birmingham"
 The petition in full is as follows:
 ''We, the undersigned citizens of Ala bama, Respectfully petition your honorable body to establish in this state the classi- fication as to commodities and establish and put in force the same freight rates as are now in force in the state of Georgia.
 We further ask that a just and req sonable rate be made and maintained for the carrying of freight by railroads from points on the Tennessee river in this state where said railroad connects with such points, We further ask that reasonable joint rates be established between boats plying the Alabama river and railroads which connect with them on shipments within the state"
 The commission will hold its regular monthly meeting next Monday, when 1t is expected that as many of the petitions as have been received will be formally presented. The commission will probably fix some future date for a hearing.

DECATUR
City is Now Enjoying Greatest Build
 ing Boom for Several Years.

Decatur, April 27-(Special.) )-This city is now enjoying a building boom such as 1t has not experienced in several years. Contracts have been let for the erec- tion of nine business blocks on Bank street, and all of them will be built this summer. E. Lyons already has the brick on the ground for number of store buildings and the First National bank and John D. Wyker are making arrange ments to erect a handsome stone front block on Bank between Vine and La fayette streets.
 During the past year there has been more building done in Decatur and New Decatur than ever b1rore in their history since the days of the boom In 1SS6-S7 The population of the two cities has in creased more during the past twelve months than any other town of like pop ulation in the state. This increase has been brought about by the enlargement of the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops in New Decatur and by the estab- lishment of other industrial enterprises. There is no boom but a healthy, steady growth that Is based on a firm founda- tion. Prices or real estate are steadily in- creasing, and today there is more con- f1dence in the future of the two towns than ever before.
