WOMEN DEPARTMENT PRIZES

Among the special prizes offered to the women of the state through the wom- ans department of the Alabama State Fair a handsome piano has been donated by one of the enterprising companies of this city. This premium, along with oth- CTS, will be given as an incentive to bet ter work in the exhibits: the prizes will be all worth working for, but the purpose of an exhibition Is not for prizes only, while every individual exhibitor stands an equal showing for prize upon the presentation of good work, it Is more far reaching Competition and comparison are both effectual teachers. Competition stimulates, comparison gives new ideas and creates thoroughness, the combina- ton of the two from year to year in Collective exhibit, from all parts of the state. points out to the public how much Is being done by the busy women, who though active in club life and social teas find ample time to do needle work, art and since the passing away of old time servants they excel as good cooks. Much interest is manifested in woman's work at the fair, she will have her laces' em- lady asks; Gan I show my chickens Tn lady askas: "Can I show my chickens in the woman's departments The cata- logrie will include the entire premium list. and when completed will be mailed to any address upon application to the Ala bama State Fair association.

Vulcan has filled his mission, and he Is at rest.

We cannot infer from this that we are missed as We are useful, but every inch of life Is so full so occupied that at times we lost sight of our friends. not because it is desire, but that circumstances Tor the present impels one to neglect much that Is good to us.
 There Is so much in human nature that is great and good, as we view the iron structure, in the shape of man. how much of happiness he has missed. what privi- leg 1t is to live really, to breathe, to feel, to think to know that no matter with what battles we combat, what sphere of life we occupy, we can be useful and when like Vulcan we are left in the soli- tude of the earth. there echoes from our fellow man remembrance of good, Of usefulness

tempted to secure by peaceful means
several months ago.
Recently while attempting to secure
recruits on the island the kindly means
taken by Major Scott were mistaken
