A. B. Lightner. the general agent of the pleased with the success of the new train 'The Messenger Boy,' run daily between Birmingham and Winfield, distance of 90 miles, that he has decided to give a reduced rate on Sundays of one fare for the round trip from Birmingham to Winfield and return.
 MT. Lightner belives that this reasona- ble excursion rate will enable many per- sens in Birming ham who have friends or business connections along the Frisco line from Birmingham to Winfield to make the trip on Sunday. It will also afford an excellent opportunity for per- sons of all classes who enjoy an outing in the country to make an early start Sunday morning and spend almost the whole day in the open, close to nature and to natures 4aeart. In this connection it is suggested that summer resort O, some kind may be established on the Frisco line between Birmingham and Winfield, where the urban population can enjoy a weekly visit.
 In running The Age-Heralds Mes senger Boy" the railway officials have pleased immensely residents along the route At present the train runs only to Winfield and return. Earnest requests are oming in from points farther west ward on the line that the trains run be extended to those places Guin, Beaverton and Suligent wish to take advantage of the new schedule. The Suligent people are willing, in order to get the aecommo- dations, to build there a terminal for the train. The Frisco people are con sidering all these requests, and if the trains success continues. 1t is highly probable that the run will be extended to Sulligent.
 The enjoyable trip made Sunday by company of Birminghams financial, rail- way and mercantile men was the sub ject of interesting comment yesterday. Everyone who took the trip was highly

In one re- spect 1t was unique, namely, that the comraderie of men who made up the party was quite unprecedented am grateful to The Age-Herald for the days outing and constantly commend its en- terprise in securing the train for Bir- mingham."
 Dr. o. T. Dozier, philosopher. poet and all round good fellow said: Tt was one of the most enjoyable days l have ever spent.

At the BIlou.

Walter Edwards opened a weeks en- gagement at the Bijou theatre last night in "A Fighting Chance'' a typical melo- drama of the west. better staged than the average run of such shows and pre- scented by the company in conventional melodrama style
 "A Fighting Chance" is about the most pronounced thriller" that MT. Edwards has yet appeared in and one cannot but think that the star .s worthy of a better playa play in which there is less of the blood and thunder" eler-ent and more real acting. The scenes of the play are laid In the west. where there is the cx- pected half-breed villain and two twin brothers, whose identity is confused un- til the last act, when both brothers are set alright before the world.
 The play is very pretldy staged, a snow storm in the Rockies being a most effect i've bit of stage realism. The las. act, in which a western court scene is shown, gives opportunities for Imaginable bur 1esque of justice as administered at Chey- enne
 There will be matinee tf'- afternoon and the usual performances tonight.

 'I haven't enjoyed myself so heartily in dogs age. The trip was delightful in every way. never knew before how much perfectly innocent amusement could be crowded into twelve hours"

 After week of strenuous activity In the business world, 1t was quite delight ful for me to drop the anxieties of such a life and pass Sunday in ride through the country with Birmingham's leading men of affairs Such associations under such conditions are quite helpful to ev- cry one engaged in them. The Age-Her- aids enterprise is commendable.
 Henry B. Gray, president of the Peo- ples Savings Bank and Trust company, after expressing his enjoyment of the trip said: "A great deal of enduring value inheres to excursions of this kind.

FROST AND ICE DO
 VERY GREAT HARM
EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE CAM NOT BE KNOWN FOR SEVERAL DAYS BUT IS BELIEVED TO BE GREAT.

The frost and ice yesterday morning with the thermometer standing at 3I wrought great havoc in the vegetable gar dens and fruit orchards arolnd Birming- ham. There was a heavy frost and ice was reported quarter of an inch thick in the county.
 There is a difference of opinion as to the extent of the damage but all truck CTS agree that 1t was considerable, some contending that the injury to some fruits was almost total
 Beans and some other garden vegetables are killed, while peas and some other such products are reported to be unin- jured.
 Apples and pears are safe while the damage to plums and peaches may be very great though the extent of the dam age cannot be known for several days The peaches may fall off after three or four weeks.
 the heavy foliage on peach trees protect ed the fruit. Col lc. L. Higdon thinks the fruit is seriously injured from freez- ing. though he says, 1t is impossible to tell for several days.
 Colonel Higdon advises that potato plants be clipped of juet below the sur face of the earth and believes that this method will cause them to grow out again willie if they are left standing the crop is in danger of total loss Mir. Higdon treated his potatoes in this way
 Reports from strawberry fields are very discouraging and 1t is feared that the crop is seriously damaged. The berries in this section would have been coming on the market within few days.
 c. r. Bell was notified by telegraph yes- terday morning that the strawberries on his farm below Montgomery were safe. but he is of the opinion that the crop around Birmingham and north of here is damaged seriously if not totally destroyed.
 Some plants such as beans that were protected from the frost by being covered were frozen and killed.
