UNIQUE EXERCISES HELD
On Anniversary of conflagratlon the Fine New Waterworks Plant Is Put Into operaton-Whistle
 Announces the Opening.

Alexander City, June 14-(Special) )- Last Tuesday, the 18th of June. was ob- served in Alexander City as a day of marking the third anniversary of the great fire and commemorating the pluck and faith of Alexandrians in rebuilding their city, and in making it more modern, beautiful and substantial.
 A few public spirited citizen, headed by R. s. Nolen, planned an appropriate programme of devotional exercises to be held at the court house at ? o'clock In the afternoon, and every business man was requested to close his place of bus mess, which was compiled with.
 Just before the crowd began to as- semble 1t was arranged that the big whis- tie at the water works power house, which had just that day been completed, give one long blast at 1:sO p. m, an- nouncing the time to close doors and at tend the services. There is a happy CO., incidence just here which was not plan ned. The blowing of this whistle was not only the signal for the gathering, but it also announced the glad tidings to all Alexandrians and to the world that on this same date, just three years after the great conhagration here, that the new water works plant was put into operation as a further observance of the anniversary.
 The blast of the big whistle, while musical and clear, brought to mind the memories of the sweeping connagration which was devouring our city at precise ly the same day and. hour three years ago. when we were without means to protect our property from its ravages.
 Quite a representative gathering of citizens assembled at the court house at the appointed hour and engaged in ex- ercises appropriate for such an occasion. Mayor W. M. Wech called the meeting to order and announced it's object. The Rev. H. M. Stevenson opened the exer- cises with prayer, followed by music from the choir. The mayor, as chair man of the meeting then called the fol- lowing gentlemen to the stage, they haN- ing been selected to deliver short ad- dresses on the occasion J. c. Maxwell, K. S. Nolen, A. P. Fuquay, Rev. w. R. Whatley R. Herzfeld, w. L. Waters A. J. Coley and Dr. A. l.. Harlan.
 Each responded with appropriate and we'll timed remarks, reciting incidents of Alexander Citys reconstruction period and pointing morals that had been gained during this period, and felicitating the people on the beautiful and suDstantlai outcome of their heroic efforts, and last lv pinning their everlasting faith to Alex ander City's commercial and industrial future
 The anniversary exercises were then closed with prayer by the Rev. A $. Smith This anniversary, the complete installation of the water works, will be Appropriately observed hereafter, for Alexander City now has one of the best evetenne of water works in the state.
