YOUNG AMERICA IS HAPPY
All Manner of New Inventions for the Delight of the Youth of Blrmine- ham Can Be Seen in the

In Newbery.

In weather about as disagreeable
as it ever falls to the lot of New

boarded the Southern's early after

deep regret that the dlsagreeao'e

The governor was as handsome
and hale and hearty as usual ana
his friends here regret very much
that he could not stay longer.
Governor IIeyward was not talk
ing politics, but in a conversation
with friends at the depot yesterday
the Legislature came up tor dis
cussion and it was mentioned oy
some one that there was always a
general kick because the Legislature
killed so much time during the first
Of the session. Governor Hayward
referred to the fact that it is most.
ly committee work and work OF
which the general public seldom
takes note, that consumes the early
oart of the session. He thought
the legislature had been making
about as much time as was con-
sistent with wise legislation.
