The Timld Kitten.

There was q little kitten once
Who was Of dogs afraid.
And. being by no means a Ounce,
His plans he boldly made.
He said: ITS only on the land
That dogs run after me.
So will buy a catboat. and
III sail away to sea.
"Out there from dogs I'll be secure.
And each night ere l sleep.
To make assurance doubly sure.
A dog watch l will keep"
He bought q catboat. hired q crew.
And one fine summer day
T-iumphantly his flag he flew
And Sayly sailed away.
But in midocean one midnight
Twas very. very dark
The pilot screamed in sudden fright,
II hear a passing bark"
"Oh. what is thatT' the kitten said
The pilot said. II fear
An ocean greyhound's just ahesd
And drawing very near!'
"Alack!' the kitten cried. "Alack!
This Ia no paltry pupil
An ocean greyhounds OH my track:
may as we'll give up!'

MONEY IN CABBAGE

Montgomery Broker Says He In Unable

Montgomery commission brokers are

ply.

but those who have devoted any con-

Mobile and Florida cabbage have
been coming into Montgomery for four
weeks ana the cabbage crop around
Montgomery is barely sufficient TO sup

Order after order for potatoes have
been received by local commission
brokers but the Montgomery potato
crop is only sufficient to supply the To-
cal demand for new potatoes and be-
fore the end of the season potatoes will
have to be imported. And at that good
prices are being offered for potatoes.

+ ACCEPTED.
Final Details Of Transfer of City Se-
curities Is Made by the Coun-
ell mt n Special
Meeting.

The bid of the First National Bank
of Montgomery for the entire issue of
$3.50, geo school. water and sanitation
bonds, was accepted at a special meet
ing of the Council held yesterday at
noon.
The First National bid in the bonds
at a premium of one and half per
cent, or $355,35S for the total issue.
The only other bidder for the bonds
was the Merchants and Planters-Farley
National Bank which offered to take
the bonds at par. The single condition
made by the First National in it's sue
cessful bid was that the proceeds of
the bonds should remain in that bank
to be checked out as the work pro-
crossed, and the money was needed.
The special meeting of the Council
was called for the sole purpose of
hearing the report of the Finance
Committee upon the two bids for the
bonds which had been referred to that
committee.
President Mcintyre was disqualified
from presiding over the Council or TAX
ing part In it's deliberations by reason
of the fact that he was Acting Mayor.
Mayor Carr was out of the city.
In view of this circumstance Vice
President Forbes presided. The Alder
men VINO were present were Messrs.
Lobman, Jackson. league, Ryan, Grif-
nth. Strauss and Kohn.
The report of the committee was
presented by Alderman Kohn. 1t was
accompanied by a resolution directing
the Mayor to haze the bonds litho-
graphed and to furnish the successful
bidder with copy of the legal opin-
ion as to the validity of the bonds. The
resolution also instructed the city
treasurer to turn over the bonds to the
First National Bank and to leave the
proceeds on deposit at that bank until
they were checked out as needed.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the Council adjourned.
