HAVING TROUBLE
The Wallace Shows in Big Storm
at Gulfport, Miss.

The Billboard, weekly paper pub
lished at Cincinnati in the interest
Of the circus profession, is authority
for the statement that the Wallace
shows did not give night perform
ance at Gulfport, Miss, October Z.
The performance was cancelled at
the last moment on account of the
damage done in a severe wind
storm. The circus tent was blown
down and the gasoline illuminants,
which were just being lighted for
the evening performance, set fire to
the canvas in several places. But
for the quick action of the attend
ants the entire show would have
been swept by fire.
Dirt was thrown on the burning
places and the fire gotten under con-
troll. No one was injured but had
the accident happened an hour later
the tents would have been crowded
with people and a stampede could
not have been averted.
Wallace's circus was in Newcastle
on August 25.

These old citizens built the foundation of so- ciety in Birmingham and the grandchi- dren of their companions, who were mar ried, while hearing nursery tales from their grandfathers, arte ofttimes told of the wonderful deeds of these bachelors. All of them are distinguished in certain lines and well might they feel proud of their historic achievements.
 Mel Drennen.
 Going into details an old gentleman tells of the first time he ever saw Mel Drennen, the first named of the quintette mentioned. "I was attending the opening performance at O 'Brien's theatre, a place long since gone into decay said this man and I shall never forget the feelings of envy which ran through me as I gazed into one of the boxes and there saw Mel Drenen accompanied by some beautiful young girl. MT. Drennen at that time was a leading merchant and had the reputation of selling the best boots in the district. He also sold a certain quality of jeans brooches which were guaranteed not to rip, tear or run down at the heels In the box he presented a striking figure Long black whiskers reached from his

 In those days there were great gather ings at the one time famous Caldwell hotel and bachelors were wont to as- semble and organize social clubs. Today the little sons of the Grays, the Bad hams the Haskells, the McDavids and the Crawfords listened to stories told by their fathers of the doings around that hotel during the reign of the bach elors Prominent among these club or ganizers was George B. Ward at that time noted for his histrionic talents. He assisted in organizing the Fortnight club. the Patriarch club and other institutions of similar nature which faded, withered and died through lack of harmonious spirit.

Judge c. w. Ferguson.
 Distinguished among the early corners to Birmingham was the Hon. Charles W. Ferguson. probably the oldest bachelor extant. He hailed from the state at large, and his long service In Montgom- cry and other cities before the present regime had even started entities him to much consideration. He is now judge of a court, and finds 1t impossible to give all his time to society. He Is a great manip- ulator, however, and his ideas on social affairs are eagerly sought. Finding soci- ety monotonous at one time, he launched into professional fishing, hunting and trapping, which proved a great success. T knew Charlie Ferguson when a boy" said an old man bent with age, "and he was a great character. On one occasion in Montgomery. he invited a party to take a boat ride from Montgomery to Wetump ka when the river was up. His absence of of mind caused him to get on the boat without tickets, and he hurried back to the wharf to secure transportation. While at the office of the boat company the captain sailed away with the guests. MT. Ferguson rushed frantically to the wa ter's edge, yelling to the captain to stop, but there was nothing doing. The cap tain kept on. MT. Ferguson then began a long run along the Danh trying Tn Valn to stop the boat. For four miles he kept this up He finally reached an old fashioned ferry. where wire Is stretched across the river and the boat was forced to stop. Climbing along the wire, MT. Ferguson reached the boat and dropped on deck his tongue hanging out several inches from the great exertion. If any body can beat Charlie Ferguson out of the honors as the real bachelor, he will have to be a good one"
 Erskine Ramsay.
 While Erskine Ramsay has not been prominent in Birmingham social realms more than fifteen years he was around these parts long before people ever heard of automobiles and bachelors balls. It is stated on good authority that he buried himself in the mines and furnaces around

While these gallant young warriors were forging to the front and had all society backed to standstill along came Wilson Brown, from the state at large, and laid claim to favors. Wilson Brown at that time believed himself, like Ma poleon, and rapidly strode to the front through his Representations of the French warrior. He was a distinct hit. He was also known as the mocklng bird of the Tennessee valley, and many a time have the walls of local theatre reverberated with the echoes of his melodious notes. MT.

IN view of the recent spectacular suc-
 cesses scored by the bachelors of
 Birmingham the question has arisen as to who is the real bachelor of the town who is the real article and who is en- titled to the wreath of laurel.
 While seemingly simple this question is massive in its details and recalls the days of the pioneer settlement of Jones valley when the genuine specimen of knighthood was in flower. In those days the Richmonds of the social field were few and far between. To get off with a successful social entertainment bache- Tor was acquired to have originality as we'll as money and most of them seemed better endowed with the former of tho two requisite qualities.
 In this day of skyscrapers clean shaved faces and Scotch highballs Birmingham still has those self same bachelors who kept things lively in ye ancient days of the boom While some of them have grown bald with age and gray in the ser vice they are still here and have lost none of the frisks which made them knights in

It is true some gallant young fellows have come forward in the past few years and cut wide swaths in society by the brilliancy of their entertainments but the comparison of the volunteer and the veteran forces itself upon the judicial mind of the investigator.
