IT IS A coon INyFsrsx1Nr.

Real estate in Montgomery ia eood property. To use a mining term. it ,s pay dirt" There's no bad property in Montgomery. As the man said hy whiskey it Is good and better. Of course some lots are batter for Investment than others. Some will pay higher rents and some will advance in valua more rapidly than others, but 1t iz all good.
 [ We don't have boon,s in Montgomery fortunately for the city. Two or three efforts to start one have been made. but they were failures. These cratic and illogical methods are almost invarfab,v hurtfuf to town or city. They nut m prices far beyond the actual value of the property, people. 20 wild and invest in lots for which they have no use and for which they know they are paying too much. but they expect to get more than they give. Some men make money. many others lose and the after effects on the town are injurious.
 Montgomery has escaped all such expe- riences, and it is good thing for the citv. Its growth has been natural, continuous and substantial. In all parts of the city. in the suburbs as we'll as in the business sections, on the number streets as we'll as in the fashionable residence blocks. new houses arc going up and old ones are added to and improved. Tho tendency is to build better houses or to make the old ones better. That is the way to make a town STOW larger. better. handsonaer and moro populous. and that is what is going on In Montgomery all the time.
 There are cities in Alabama which ,os- sess advantages that Montgomery lacks. but in almost every instance these ad. vantages are coupled with disadvantages oy way of offset. In point of location. health, water and climate, taken altogether there is not a more favored location in the South. We have nice streets, splendid business houses. ~ood street-ear systems, with water and vail. road communications in all direction, Everything Is here to make this one os the leading cities in the South, as it ought to be and will be.
 one or the most encouraging features or Montgemery's growth is that if is so largely due to the capital and the con- hdenee of our own people. The time has been when those of our citizens who had money to invest in real estate would send 1t to other places, but that custom has largely fallen into dlsuse. They buy up and improve Montgomery property be- cause they have confidence in 1t. That is what makes a town solidly prosperous. That is why Montgomery grows and thrivcs, and why 1t will continue to thrive. Beyond doubt Montgomery real estate is pay dirt.

He has been the father Of eighteen children. of whom fourteen in-law four earls, a viscount and a baron. There is difference of age close on half a century between his oldest daughter and his youngest son, and he is at once a aso the proud father of a boy of 10. The most astonishing fact. however in Lord Leiscester's family history is that his marriage to Miss Georgiana Cavendish took place exactly 100 years after his fathers the respective dates being 1775 and 1875. The Dowager Duchess of Aber- corn and the Earl of Leicester are the two most remarkable living progenitors in the English nobility.

Kentncky-Tennessee Complicatiop

some time ago J. J. Smith shot and killed his father-in-law. D Blevens, in Wayne County. Ky, just over the Ten nessee line. Blevens was in that State and smith in Kentucky when the shot was fired. This is probably the first case on record where a man standing in one State killed a man In another. and just what procedure will be taken is not known. as smith, who is in that State has killed no one in that State, because Blevens was in Tennessee when killed and no requisition, it seems. can be la- not fugitive from justice from that State. never having been there The ease Wlll be watched with great interest.

 The cell for a caucus has no bearing on the vote for Senator. and represents only the method of procedure.
 In the opinion of some of the legislators the Senatorship contest should be gotten through with as soon as possible. and the caucus call was argued to be the quickest
 way to dispose of 1t.
 The call, 1t is well known, does not re- Iieve the members of the Legislature who have made pledges from supporting the candidates they have announced as their choice. ..,-

elaborate argument by counsel for
Quigfey the appellate court refused to
set aside the jury's verdict
Today the same court announced that
from Its consideration OF the case ana

for the prisoner in their petition thought
that federal question was presented

in violation OF said section of said
article.
This section provides NOR shall any
