While the city offers many advantages in the

Swearing in New Aldermen.

Florence, December 12.-(Special. )-The inaugural meeting of the recently elected city council will be held tomorrow morn ing, when the new members will be sworn in. This interesting ceremony will be followed probably by the election of a city clerk, city engineer and a police force, but as there was no change in the administration there will probably be few heads to fall Mayor Walker will also announce the committees and outline his policy for the coming year. The reports of the various departments will be sub mitted to the council The legislative branch of the city government is com posed of new blood with the exception of Judge George w. Porter who has served several terms, and as the body is com posed of progressive business men, it is expected that measures looking to the upbuilding and improvement of the city in all lines will immediately be put in force.
 Rev. W. E. Foust. late of Pratt City, Ala, the new presiding elder of the Flor ence district, preached last evening at the First Methodist church. His sermon was a practical Bible talk, devoid of oratorical effort, and he immediately won the hearts of the large congregation. Rev. Mir. Foust's family will arrive in the city this week.

LON PIPPIN TRIAL
 ON AT ANNISTON
JURY SELECTED IN CITY COURT. GRAND JURY EMPANELED IN CITY coURT-NEGRo CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.

Anniston, December 12.-(special)-The case of Lon Plppin, charged with the murder of J. W. Trigg, was opened in the city court this morning. Practically all the morning was consumed in draw
 ing the jury, only four having been decid- ed upon at noon. The court room has been crowded all day, and there seems to be the greatest interest manifested in the trial. Both the attorneys for the defendant and for the plaintiff seem to be extremely viglant in the selection of the jurymen, and about half the venire was gone through In the selection of the four jurymen drawn by noon. At 3:39 o'clock the jury had been completed and Judge Coleman instructed the jury and the case of the state vs. Lon Pippin be- gan.
 The following are the jurymen selected. Whit Whteside, W. c. Cattle, J. T. Stephens, J. M Probts, c. J! Ward, Will liam McCord, L. M. Sexton, J. P. Davis. J. F. Snider. J. F. Ward, A. s. Nunnal ly, w. c. Fleming. The state Is repre-
 scented by Solicitor W. c. Tunstall and Tate & Walker, and the defendant by Knox, Acker & Blaekmon.
 The circuit court was convened ana the grand jury empanneled by Judge John
 Pelham today at o'clock, George H. Rowan of Jacksonville being chosen fore man of the jury. In his charge to the jury Judge Pelham was very clear, straightforward and emphatic. He stated that it was somewhat out of the ordinary to have a grand jury in the circuit court. and made a full explanation of the causes leading to its establishment. He en-
 phasized the point that there should be
 no conflict between the city court, now in session, and the circuit court. How ever, he stated that the mere fact that the city court grand jury had investiga- l ted a case and failed to find true bill should not deter the circuit court jurors | from making another investigation. Also
 he emphasized that they investigate all county officers and county properties in addition to crime, etc.
 Frank Williams, a negro boy about l2 years old, was arragned in police court 1 today on a charge of burglary, and was

and other railways within the incor- porated limits of Birmingham. This prop erty is admirably adapted to the needs of those manufacturers who wish to be located as close as possible to the heart of things. There seems to be an inl- pression that all the available manufact- uring sites within the city limits have been taken up, and the foregoing state- ment is made to correct that error There Is plenty of room for manufacturers in- side the city limits. Such manufacturing sites, by the way, are good investments for those who find the prices of central business property beyond their means or their ideas of values. A good stretch of frontage on the Belt line, for instance, is in fact gilt-edged investment.

The relations of REALTY with the public of Birmingham have been of very pleasant nature Only twice in the course of it's existence has 1t appeared in war paint; and as soon as the occasions for this had disappeared it hastened to return to the walks of peace and prosperity REALTY hopes to record great things of Birmingham in its second volume.
