 parole was granted yesterday to John A. Hoilingsworth. of Lamar Coun- ty, by Acting Governor Cunningham. The Parole Is conditioned upon his fu- ture good conduct.
 Hollingsworth has just served a term of three years in the penitenitary on conviction of assault with intent to murder, he was recently convicted of the same ofHense growing out of the same difficulty and occurring at the same time.
 The petition for parole was signed by the trial judge and solicitor.
 The Governor made the following explanation of the parole:
 '@This applicant for executive clemen- cy pleaded guilty to assault with in- tent to murder and was sentenced to two years and one day in the peniten- tIary, He had just served sentence of three years for the same offense, both cases growing out of the same dificulty and occurring at the same time.
 'The Judge states that, in his judg- ment. the case should have been mol pressed, but that the solicitor thought a better plan would be to let him plead guilty and have him paroled The Judge states that when sentence was passed upon him, told him would do all I could to have him paroled. Tns Tudee and Solicitor join and ask ms nsrole and the Board of Pardons rec ommends that 1t be granted.

at Miss So-and-So's tea the other day. That touch of blue is becoming to you" She remembers birthdays with some small gift-a box of homemade candy. a bunch of flowers. a jar of delicious preserves, made by herself and wrapped carefully in gay tissue paper. She is thoughtful of elderly people. giving them the small attentions which they so much appreciate. And the best of her is that these things are done naturally and gracefully. Were they assumed they would lose half their charm and sweetness.
 It is not the value of the things she gives that she wins friends, but. in- stead, 1t is the thoughtfulness and the real kind feeling which lies behind every gift. Hers is a true and kindly heart And she has learned the way to express 1t.
 So often we hear of some one. She is very kindhearted, but so blunt and rough; but really, there is nothing too much for her to do for her friends" A sad thing to say. Naturally enough, 1t is better to be kind at heart, yet rough in manner. than to have the roughness and no real sweetness and generosity behind 1t; but the kind heart. glorified by tact and tenderness- and I know not which of these Is greater-is the best attribute a woman may have. It is this woman who has the greatest number of friends and staunch, true friends are a necessity to life. Not necessity for the material life, but a necessity to the life of the heart and soul.

Happiness.

The only paradise of man is happi- ness. A thousand heavens could do no more than make people happy. The
 happiness Is attained by the satisfac- tion of all human aspiration-all the hungers and thirsts Of body, heart and mind. The rounds of the ladder to this paradise are all the definite conditions of external nature. corresponding to the definite powers of human nature, by fulfilling which man arrives at the goal of happiness. And the angels that assist him in this ascent are the an gels of art. science. taste, culture and human love. They are distributed in forms born of the past and of the pre- sent; some are descending, having full filled their office and delivered up their task to the newer forms that ascend But they all work together to make life richer, purer. happier, to do away with its rudeness and crudeness, and so adrou and refine every part of life that it may be utilized and minister to happiness without causing injury to any.

 feet Permanent 0r-
 0nnixafi0n.

Great interest centers in the meeting of librarians. literary workers ana hook lovers from all over Alabama in Montgomery Monday morning. which proposes to organize an Alabama Li- brary Association.
 Dr. Thomas M. owen, who. together with a committee of representative H. brarians. originated the plan of an As- sociation. is elated over the prospects of a permanent and enthusiastic organ ization He says that upwards of sixty librarians and allied literary devotees will meet in Montgomery tomorrow and tomorrow night

Three sessions have been arranged, the first to begin Monday morning at 9:3o o'clock. The second will be called at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and the last at S:3o o'clock Monday night.
