The Municipality.


The present mayor of Jasper is Hon.
J. III. Crawford. and a live and active one
he is. Largely interested personally in
property here he is ever alive to com
munity interests and acts upon the cor
rect theory that manifestation or an
exercise of public interest always re-
bounds to the good of all. He is ably
sisted IN the management of the citys af
| fairs by a board of aldermen, composed
J of Messrs. A. c. Preston j. NJ. Hayes,
| b. f. Richardson, j. N. Kilgore and j.
| w. ORear.
The city assesses n tax rate of " of !
per cent She carries bonded debt of
| S25, geo: $l5000 of which sum has been in
vested in public school building very
! handsome structure which would be an
ornament to any of the larger cities This
school has large enrolment and is free
the city appropriatng literally toward
its support. Prof w e. Turnipseed Is
the principal.
Some months ago the saloons of Jas
per were closed by law and a dispensary
established. The new plan is said to be
working entirely satisfactory to the peo-
pie Mayor Crawford estimates that dis
order in the town has diminished at
least two-thirds under the new arrange
ment The profits of the dispensary Yield
about $4,000 per annum; 60 per cent of
which sum goes to the city, and 40 per
cent to the county.
Jasper enjoys the use of n splendid sys-
tenn of water works The water is pump
ed from deep wells into a stand-pipe up
on a hill nearby. The natural pressure
Is quite sufficient for all present pur-
posses and the supply abundant The
same company of which, by the way
Mayor Crawford is at the head, supplies
by the same power the electric lights
used in the city. These public utilities
together with a local and long distance
telenhone exchange gives to Jasper's peo-
pie the advantages of genuine city life.
There are four fiourishing churches
here-the Methodist. Baptist, Presbyterian
and Christian. and the buildings are in
keeping with the general progress OF the

BY FRANK V. EVANS.

Jasper, May ESPECIALLY "Compari-
sons are odious," some one has said, and
your correspondent has been charged with
the sin of having declared more than
one of the many Alabama towns he has
recently visited as being THE most pros
porous and promising in the state He
denies the allegation but believes himself
pardonable of offense in picturing each
and all of them as thriving and as fully
deserving this thrift The truth of the
matter is that personal visitation. obser-
walton and investigation reveal the fact
that the strides of energy, of progress.
and general prosperity in Alabama are
amazing and cheering, and the panoramic
picture may so charm and bewider one
interested as to make him forget the
beauty of one picture when another
shifts to view.
The other day the writer was asked
what towns in the state, outside the lar
ger cities. he regarded the most promis-
ing; and he named Jasper among the
first fonri and well does this town de-
serve the rank.

The Old and the New.

Many of us remember few years ago,
when Jasper was isolated from the bus
mess world, had never heard the sound
of a locomotive whistle and was a mere
country crossroads town, with an occa
sonal court week to draw to its confines
town lawyers and country jurors and
witnesses, and when these occasions
alone relieved the monotony of the sleep
ing village.
But today when we visit Jasper we be-
hold a transformation, which demon
strates the power of natural surround
ings, and of the foresight. patience. and
energy of a worthy people. for the Jasper
Of today Is a real living city. with a pop
ulation of more than 5000 people. with
two great railroad lines opening the way
and connecting the town with the mats
of the world. The little wooden shops.
hulls and dives that married the beauty
OF the court square have given way to
handsome brick and stone structures
The grog shops are closed; the spires of
handsome churches reach high above the
surface, and the school bells sound the
morning call to the boys and girls of
Jasper to come and make ready for the
greater future which lies in store for
this happy and growing community.

Miss Berry C0mposes
 March and TWO- Step.

The success of Miss Mary Ella Berry of Birmingham as a composer of popular music adds to the interest of an an- nouncement just made by a leading Bir- mingham dealer who is featuring her latest composition, a march and two-step, called the Society Circus,' in compli- ment to the Athletic club of Birmingham The music is published by a Boston mu- sic house and the first edition has already been exhausted. It is extremely popular in the north, and the Birmingham dealer has not featured any composition in more attractive way than the advertise ments in the papers bear witness
 Miss Berry has been in Bridgeport Conn.,, for several winters, where she is well known in the musical set. Her success as a composer will be most gratifying to her many Birmingham friends and it can be no less gratifying to her that the mere announcement that one of her musical composition was just out created so much interest in her old home. It prom ises to be even more popular in the south than in the north. Miss Berry's march is dedicated to a Birminham woman.
