A FIELD DAY FOR
 JOHN L. PARKER
His Display of Cut Flowers and Plants at the State Fair Captured Nearly All of the Prizes Offered-Brll- liant Success of the ln- promptu Flower Show
 in His Down Town
 Store.

Yesterday was a field day for John L..
 Parker as forisE, at the Alabama State
 fair, MT. Parker captured nearly every
 prize offered for cut flowers and Tants.
 In fact the awards are practically sweep
 stakes for him.
 This Is only one part Of his triumph however The thousands of people who thronged to his beautiful display on the
 main floor of the exposition building were enthusiastic in their expressions of de-
 light at the beautiful picture which burst upon their vision. Thus, by popular &C., claim, as veil as by judical announce
 ment, MT Parker $ declared pre-emin-
 ently the florist of Birmingham.
 The display of cut flowers in Parker's down town store was scarcely less strik- ing than his exhibit at the fair. Hum dreds of people came into the store yes- terday to gaze at the magnificent mums
 and the carnations and other beautiful blooms of the season, and Dr. Parker was the recipient of numerous congratu- lations from people of taste.
 For years John l.. Parker has beep
 recognized as one of the most progressive
 florists in the south. The completion of
 his green houses at Helena station near the fair grounds. where over eighteen acres are devoted to the cultivation of flowers and plants, adds very largely to his al- ready exceptionally fine facilities for sup plying flowers to the people of Alabama and adjoining states. Birmingham has ! really cause to be proud of him.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL NOW
 PAYING FOR ITS REALTY

The Illinois Central pays for it's ter minal holdings about $5OO,OO0. W. B. Leedy of W. B. Leedy & Co.,, real estate agents dor the company, has been busy within the past few days settling with the sellers of the property. He paid out yesterday s16o.O0O and in a few days every title will have been passed upon and every foot of the real estate purchased paid for.
 Last night referring to the Illinois Cen tral property, Mir Leedy said: All par ties to the transactions express them selves as well satisfied. Four-hfths of the real estate bought by the railroad was owned by local people. This means that four-fifths of the money paid out by the Illinois Central in Birmingham will be put in local circulation.
 ..The coming of the Illinois Central means great thing for Birmingham and the character of the company pur- chases indicates clearly that the officials of the railroad take broad view of the city's importance and lay their plans accordingly"

The question of better roads in Jefferson which has been discussed so widely all over the county for the past two weeks will probably be the chief matter under discussion at the regular meeting of the board of revenue this morning.
 The board will probably ask the county road supervisor to make a report on the condition of the public high ways.
 The members of the board of revenue have gone on record and have often ex- pressed themselves as favorable to good roads, and it is almost certainty that they will take some action today that will result eventually in a general shake

up in the present roads system in Jeffer- son county.
 During the past ten days two or three members of the board have travelled over a number of the high ways and they will be well informed on the conditions. It is expected that they will make some practical suggestions relative to road im- provements.
 During the past few weeks the board of revenue has taken several important steps to better the present method oi working the roads. The contract system has been practically abolished and an effort is being made to have the number of district overseers increased.
