MEMBERS OF T. c., l. & R. R.
 PARTY GREATLY PLEASED

Continuing MT Woodward said: Tt has been two years since I was last here and observe marked development in that time. Birmingham has gotten entirely over it's crude appearance. It Is now distinctively metropolitan. Not only are it's buildings large and handsome, but the men and women one meets on the street have all the appearance of thrift and city style I am indeed delighted with Birmingham. The people here do not be- gin to realize all they have"
 Gen. Benjamin F. Tracey, former sec- retary of the United States navy, direc- tor of the company and member of Mr. Baeon's party saw Birmingham this week for the first time.
 Just before leaving he said: T have been much interested in everything l have seen. This district has been rev. elation to me- Birmingham is yet in it's infancy, of course, but the possibilities of this section are certainly. very great."
 General Tracey said that while iron and steel making must always take the lead In Birmingham the south as whole would find the development of cotton manufacture the most important factor in It's industrial life. New England he said was rapidly losing it's cotton mills to the south and Alabama was doubly favored. he thought, by having both the iron and the cotton industries. As Alabama was the fourth cotton pro- ducing state in the union, 1t followed he said, that cotton mills would multi ply rapidly in it's cotton growing sec- tions.

me for while, but did not cure me-

rather strong for me, and your Medical

use It. In a few weeks was cured, and
