Andalusia Five Yearc
 Ago and at Present.

the dream never went beyond the wis. ionary stage.
 The railroads. however, walked the town from its cnrysalis or cocoon ex- tstence and stirred 1t to unheard oi things for the place. There had never been brick building in the town un- til the present jail was started be- fore the railroads came in. There was not single brick store in all Anda. lusia when the track laying gang of the Louisville and Nashville came into sight. Now. we'll now, there are thirty mine brick stores completed four in the building stage and seven more will be started as soon as a contractor from Monticello, Georgia can come over and undertake the work>ne has agreed to do, the mate. rial for which Is now on the ground The buildings now being erected in- clude a fine three story Masonic building. And the population has Jumped up from four hundred to twen- ty-five hundred.
 Electric lights have come to take the place of the tallow dip and the pine knot fire of other days, and not so long past either. The spring under the hill and the old fashioned long handle gourd have been supplanted by the faucet and the steam force pump of the modern water works sys- tenn. So much for the accomplishment of the town in one direction,
 word should be said as to its growth and expansion beyond the pub lie square. In a town in Southeast Alabama not so long ago a man gave me an emphatic and undeniable truth as we stood on the towns public square and discussed existing condi- tions.
 It's a mistake" he said, flor any town to be built on a square. It is an old established idea, I Know, for square to be made the nucleus of a town, but no matter how old it Is it Is wron. When a town is laid out and planned with a square as It's center the promoters do not look forward to the time when the town will be big ger than the public square, conges- tion sets in. Property on the square Is four or five times more in demand than adjoining property and 1t is held at prices four or five times as high. It is like pulling eye teeth for that town to put business houses anywhere else except on the public square"
 Difficulties of Square Town.
 This statement impressed me. Think ing over the matter the conviction was formed that the speaker was right. There was Montgomery for instance. tury ago about a public square that same square which has now lost it's identity as court house square, re- that great and prosperous city.

A Bottle He Valued

A funny thing occurred on Pullman car the other night. A gentleman had gone to bed in one of the lower berths and thinking the upper berth would not be occupied placed his valise there. As the train filled up all the berths were taken. It became necessary for the porter to remove his valise and place 1t on the floor at the side of his berth. In doing so he let the valise down with jar that broke bottle in 1t, the contents of which ran out. "GoIly." he cried. T have broken a bot tle" Broken a bottle!" came a roar from behind the curtains; did. you break a bottle in my valise?" Guess I did, sir" Do you know, porter you have put me to the bad?" Bottle of Bourbon, sir?" No, sir, it was a bot tie of Red Raven, the only pleasant tasting aperient water. I was to take 1t tomorrow before breakfast You can't get any substitute for Red Raven. Nothing acts so gently on the liver or is so good for man after he has spent a night on the cars. I would rather have had you wreck the train than have broken that bottle Do not get excited. sir" replied the porter, "I know the goods. Indeed. they are eX- ceIlent Don't worry you can get them an the diner tn the morning"

Andalusia, Feb. 27.-(Special Corre- spondence. )-AndaIlsia has accom- plished two feats which are so rare and unusual in the life of a town, that they are worthy of note and com ment and the Covington County capi- tai is due the praise of doing things that some of her sister towns or Ala bama have not accomplished.
 First of all an old town, existing year after year with only a few hum dred inhabitants. Andalusia somehow imbibed the spirit of youth and In a bare five years more than quadrupled her population. Second. Andalusia has accomplished the almost impossible feat of growing away from a public square.
 Take that first claim of hers to dis tinction. When a town or village passes the first flush of youth and stops growing its fate is usually sealed. It i slike the dwarfed and stunted youth when he reaches twenty one. He has to content himself with his misfortune of inadequacy no mat ter how much in his heart he longs for the full strength and size of man hood. The town that gets over the heyday of it's youth, which comes in its history to that stage where new people are no longer coming in and where new buildings are no longer go- ing up, has but small cause or hope for future growth or future useful ness. Stagnation and inertia set in and the town sits down to see the years pass without enterprise and without accom- -ishment.
 To throw this off. to plan and live a new life is all but an impossibility for any town. This much anyhow has Andalusia accomplished. This town with its name so delicately suggestive of Spanish song and romance is an old town, dating back to the forties. It ran along in a rut from the time William Henry Harrison was Presi- dent until some eight years ago when the railroads came in. In every im- portant town when It's development is under discussion, the time when the railroads came in" is always an im- portant date, a date which marks an epoch. A new era for Andalusia was inaugurated with the coming of the railroad. For half century the town had rocked along with three of four hundred people. It had all that time been the seat of government of Cov- ington County but 1t had no other claims to consideration or distinction.
 Towns First Long Stage.
 It had been in this fifty years of chrysalis existence and oldfashioned court house sitting in the middle of a big square. which was partly sur rounded by wooden buildings. If any aspiring citizen of the town had ever hoped or dreamed for a state of high CT things for Andalusia the hope and

he saw more cattle on that trip than
ever before in his life; there being
10 200 head in ore herd which they saw
some fifteen or twenty miles before
reaching their destination. Salmon
