Sundays Montgomery Advertiser Main
 Topic Discussed In DOthan.
 Dothan, Dec. 1S.-(SpeciaI. )-Yester- day and today the principle thing dis cussed on the streets of Dothan was Sundays Advertiser. believed here to be the greatest thing ever attempted in the history of Alabama journalism. Dothanites were on the qui vive They had read in The Advertiser and in local papers that the 100-page edition was coming, and the proverbial hot cakes were not to be considered in compari- son as rapid sellers when 1t did ar rive.
 The news vendor who supplies Ala bama's leading daily in Dothan, had the busiest two hours of his life inn mediately after the arrival of the At lantic Coast line train from Montgom- cry.
 The holiday trade in Dothan Is on with a rush and there is not a store in town where salesmen are not busy as bees. Saturday and today people from the country have been here in large numbers preparing for Christmas, and wagons by the dozen may be seen going out. many of them loaded to the top of their bodies. The local office of the Southern Express Company is feeling the effects of the seasons heavy trade. also. and Agent Trawick and his two assistants have their hands full. Harry Berlmont, a beggar, claiming to be a deaf mute, excited much sym pathy on the streets, and was the re- cipient of many small coins from per- sons charitably inclined; but Berlmont came to grief when he got an overdose of dispensary tanglefoot. So fierce in proportionsrwas the jag he accumulated that he endeavored to take possession of the Brown House, whereupon an officer was called in and the festive unfortunate is now ruminating behind prison bars.
