 The first vacancy on the Board of Di- rectors was occasioned by the death of Judge William s. Mudd, September End, 1884, and on September 23rd MT. Wm. A. Walker was elected director in his stead. and has served continuously ever since. MT T. T. Hillman Is the only member of the original board who is director at the present time, but his ac- tual service has not been as long as MT. Walkers, as he was not a member of the board during the four years from 1892 to 1s96
 The bank soon gave evidence of its public spirit, the directors on August 27th, 1884, authorizing the President to subscribe for $S ,O00 of bonds of the Georgia Pacific Railroad Company (then building into Birmingham), this modest amount being quite contrast to the banks re- cent purchase of $3s0y000 of Sanitary Sewer bonds from the county of Jefferson.
 The bank has enjoyed in a marked de- gree the confidence and esteem of the people of Birmingham, and It's history for the past twenty years reflects very accu- rately the varying fortunes of the com munity. It has shared in the diversity of the people, and has waxed great and strong with them in their prosperity. During the memorable panic of 1893 it suspended payment for short time, but was soon able to pay every depositor in full with interest, this fortunate outcome being due largely to the loyalty, zeal and industry of stockholders, directors and officers, and to the courage. genius and untiring energy of the new President.

PRETTY WEDDING
And Also an Anniversary-A Very
Happy Occasion.

Mr.. Glenn E. Harris, son of John
S. Harris, and Laura Marie Tracy,
were united in marriage last evening
about 6 O'Clock by the Rev. 7. H.
knhn, of the Christian church, at
the Harris home north Of the city.
Only few guests We're present. A
splendid supper was served and an
enjoyable evening spent. The hap
py couple are among our best young
people. %s<..
1t was just thirty years ago last
night since Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
were married, so the celebration was
a double one.
Rev. Kuhn performed the cere-
mony prescribed by the Christian
church and did it with grace and
elegance peculiarly his own.

''UNCLE'' JOE
Gives Little Advice in Regard to
Spending Christmas.

Washington, December ;24.-Al
Uncle Joe Cannon left the White
House, preparatory to going home to
Illinois, he turned to a reporter who
had asked him how to have a Merry
Christmas, and said:
"You may take one drink, but
only one. Do not take any more.
"Don't drink these fancy things
they mix up. If you must have a
drink, take plain, good, straight
whisky.
"Have a nice turkey and other
things your fancy Graves. Bring the
plum pudding with blazing brandy.
'Tilt your chair back and put
your feet high up and light your CT
gar.
"Then close your eyes and think
of all the pleasant things that have
happened.
"Be so contented that you even
forget to- cuss the scoundrel who
wrote lies about you.''

the phrase ''the strenuous life" But
on the contrary Mr.. Wagner says that
his ideas and those of the president
are much the same.
Mr.. Wagner claims that most people
live too artificial a life. AS he express
es it: Man is not happy because he is
not simple enough. He carries too
much baggage" By simplicity of life
he does not refer necessarily to dress
or decoration, but to simplicity in con-
ception of life and use of it.
Mr.. Wagner as boy tended sheep in
the Alsace-Lorraine mountains before
the outbreak of the war between
France and Germany. He lay down to
sleep oftentimes in the fields, like the
cattle, and the simplicity and beauty
of this life cOntrasted strongly with
the artificial life which he found when
he went to Paris. He was but lad of
fourteen when he first saw the great
Partisan capital, and even at that age
he felt an inspiration to tell the world
how much better a life of simplicity
was than that of the wealthy and fash
ionable and luxurious. But it was not
until he was thirty-eight that his first
book was published. The title of this
book was Justice" On learning the
English language Mr.. Wagner discov-
cred that Ralph Waldo Emerson had
expressed ideas very similar to his own.
1.-THE Simple Life" is a fuller develop
ment of Mr. Wagner's ideas. and it has
been more widely read, having been
translated into several languages. Mr.
Wagner is pastor of a church in Paris
which began in a small mission and
grew to be a great power for good
among rich and poor. A year ago he
could not write or speak the English
language. He took it up and mastered
it in twelve months in order that he
might come to the United States and
lecture on the subjects of which he
lOnged to speak to the American peo-
pie

BUSY SPELLBINDERS.
HUNDREDS OF CAMPAIGN ORATORS
NOW HARD AT WORK.

If They All shouted at Once Mars
ker-How the Speakers Bureaus
Are Run-SOme Famous Speakers.
If all the speeches made in political
campaign could be printed and publish
ed the volumes would be numerous
enough to make a good sized library.
In every state of the Union each polit-
ical party now has hundreds of orators
at work busily advocating it's claims
upon the suffrages of the people. A
story used to be told that once upon
time it was agreed by people in all
parts of the world to raise a big shout
at a given moment so that it could be
heard by the inhabitants of the moon.
When the time came every one was
listening to hear the others shout, and
no noise was made by any one, so the
story went, except a lone deaf man in
the Fiji islands. If all the orators en-
gagged in spellbinding for the different
party tickets at the present time could
combine their voices in one grand, con-
centrated shout it might. awaken the
inhabitants of Mars, provided there
was a medium to convey the sound.
1t costs the two leading political par
ties an enormous amount to maintain
the oratorical end of the campaign. 1t
is estimated that $5,000O00 will be
spent by the two parties through their
national committees and that a large
part of this sum will be invested in
oratory Although about 10O,000,00O
documents will be sent out in the
course of the campaign the party man
ayers do not depend on literature in
reaching the voters, but rely to great
extent still on the old fashioned meth
cd of direct appeal by word of mouth.
The stump speaker is still in great de-
mand every four years, and to meet
the requirements of the situation each
party committee organizes what is
termed a speakers bureau, which su-
pervises the spellbinding of the ma
