A Article on Mentgomery.

<l South Big with Opportunity, Preg- nant with Promise" The article touches upon the unwavering growth l of Montgomery during the past decade refers to It's general advantages and its advancement during the past twelve new firms who have opened their doors and in an industrial way in the new
 manufacturing enterprises. The article 1 also refers to the Improvements in
 farm conditions and the prospect that | Montgomery has for bringing in two | hundred thousand bales of cotton this | year. The illustrations include a l panoramic ciew of Court Square, tho Carnegie Library, cotton field near
 the city and the Wilkinson Street ter ] races.
 l Altogether the presentation is attrac- tive. The interest of the publishers ] was secured through the aid of the l Commercial and Industrial Association. l A Plaint from Ward :. "When, oh when will Ward seven
 have representation in the City Coun- | cil," sighed resident of that section
 of Montgomery.
 Nearly three weeks ago" he went
 the City Council that Messrs. Thomp.
 son and Holloway had been nominat ted 1 as Aldermen from our ward, just as the i City Council had provided should be | uOHe uc AiuCTHtcu III u TeSOlut1Du
 pledged themselves to elect these men i on the night of August 15. Instead of | complying with their own resolution
 the Aldermen postponed action tor
 again, referring the matter to the Ju- | dietary Committee to consider the man = ner in which the primary was held | The Central Council and the Central | Council alone. 1t seems to me, has to do | with the manner of holding the pri- | mary and the Central Council has cer- tiffed that Messrs. Thompson and Hol- | loway were nominated.
 The City Council will meet Mond ,y
 night and l am reliably informed that its Judiciary Committee has not yet
 met to consider the Ward seven mat ter. This looks like another post
 some of us have reached the con- clusion that the City Council has a l deep motive in delaying this matter well as other citizens of Montgomery Y | who believe in fair play and justice. | will remember these Aldermen when they next offer themselves for office. " That Trade Review Supplement. T congratulate The Advertiser | wrltes a citizen 'on the splendid pre- sentation of our industrial wealth made in the trade review supplement issued Thursday morning. The number of | industries here was a revelation to me | and I thought was fairly we'll inform | ed on what Is going on about us The statement of our increased cot ton receipts and the consequent increase | of money thrown into our avenues of l markedly large number of dwelling l houses built during the year must have been pleasing to every citizen. "A noteworthy feature of the sup | plement to my mind, was It's apparent | purpose to help Montgomery. It was | af oAx fiatn | but a simple, straightforward, unsel- fish statement of what Montgomery is I have sent a number of copies of that I supplement to friends in far away I cities and these statements will do us | great good.
 The Advertiser always measures up to my expectations"
 Building on Court Square. T am glad to see" said a real estate | ing the construction of modern of | flee building in Montgomery and I am | one of those who would like to see il built on Court Square.
 Montgomery has grown to be a l city around some of our property own CTS who dot not appear to realize it ex- cept when placing values on what they own. Room In the heart of the city is too valuable for 1t to be used as a | wagon yard. Therefore I heartily ia vor building an ornamental steel struc- ture six to ten .storles high, on Court Square for a term of years and it would yieltD handsome revenue. T have .nown for some time that capitalists were desirous of putting up an office building in Montgomery and I am not surprised that they have failed to secure a location.
 Let The Advertiser continue to ad- Square. Some of our sentimental cit. izens may oppose it. but practical ones will not"
