 Of the event The Age-Herald of sun- day says: -e.-. When the County Club is formally opened next ThursdAg afternoon and evening, Birmingham will have one of the most complete, most picturesque and elegant club houses in the South.
 ''The new building Is situated on the hill overlooking Lakeview, and from its porch can be seen large portion of Jones Valley. in the center of which is situated Birmingham, with its busy bus mess blocks and Its vast industries. But the club is removed from the noise and smoke of the city, and is surrounded by woods and lawns with grass and flowers.
 woods and lawns is just being completed. and when all the work is done on the terrace. the golf links. sthe lake and other Improvements 1t will represent an expenditure. of about sS5.OO0 No part of this amount goes to the expense of pur- chasing land, as tho four acres immedi- ately around the club house were donated by the Birmingham Realty Company, and the ninety-two acres of the park and golf links have been leased for the next teT years. tat
 The opening reception of the club, a formal affair, will be Thursday, from 1 o'clock in the afternoon to o'clock, and from o'clock to Il o'clock. There will b. dancing from il o'clock to o'clock. at which time. there will be street cars waiting near the club to take the guests to every part of the city.
 The entire club building will be beau fully decorated with flowers and palms for the reception, and 1t will be the crowning event of the social season. Any member of the club can. invite any lady he wishes, and the club house will be thronged from early in the afternoon until late at night. This will probably be the only formal affair at the club this season, as the dances and other en- tertainments later will be informal"

w. U. MUST PAY UP
Failed TO Deliver Message That
Cost Brooks & Son
1892.

Where q loss of money occurs by
business transaction falling through
owing 20 the failure of a telegraph
company to deliver prepaid message,
when it is shown that due diligence
was not exercised in locating the per
son 20 whom the telegram was directed,
the company is liable for the amount
o. the loss. That is the essence of a
ruling made yesterday in an opinion
handed down by Associate Justice
EaTtCh of the state supreme court. i'm
tAe case Of r. s. BrOoEs g. Son of
Ogden against the Western Union
Telegraph company The plaintiffs
were awarded $3.50 damages. That was
the second time the case had been
before the court
III was alleged that through the neg
l,eeuce on the part of the Western
Union To deliver a message i'm Green
River NyO.. Brooks d Son were
forced 10 SCH 81 bunch. of horses at a
less of 500 judgment for the amount
was awarded i'm the district court. on
appeal the telegraph company won, a
new trial being ordered, because the
plaintiffs haC not shown that they
could NOT lIVe sold the horses to some
other persons for the sum the original
intended to- pay, That fact
was established at the second trial.
and Judgment FOR 1862 was given the
plaintiffs. The telegraph company APP
peaIsd the second time but lost.
