DEWBERRY LOOKS
ABOUT TUSCALOOSA
Promoters Go Over Ground In Interest
of Proposed Road From Gadsden
to the Warrior.

Tuscaloosa, June 4.-(SpeciaL)-J. NJ.
Dewberry, president of the Tidewater
Construction company, and E. p. Rob-
erts, prominent electrical interurban en-
gineer, spent the most of Friday and Sat
urday in our town and nearby. They
spent Friday afternoon in looking over
the different industries about Tusca-
loosa, including the furnace and bi-pro-
duct plant They also went up the War
rior river some distance, they being at
the time the guests of S. f. Aston, and
on his launch They left here for Birming-
ham via Brookwood and the mining towns
between here and there. This preliminary
survey of the proposed electrical route
between here and Gadsden via Birming
ham is very encouraging to Tuscaloosa
people. and 1t is earnestly hoped that an
instrumental survey will closely follow.
Sunday mornings paper contained the
announcement of J. Manly Foster as
candidate for the legislature from this
county. Mr.. Henry Fits and Mr.. New
berne Brown have already announced,
and the race promises to be a right lively
one. Mr.. Foster is one of our most promi-
nent citizens, and has served in this ca
pacty for several terms.
1t is a source of much regret to Tusca-
loosa that the Tuscaloosa Female college
has permanently gone out of business.
However the need of such an institution
will be in a large measure met by the
opening of a school for girls by the ex-
eelent and experienced teachers, the
Misses Hemphill which is just announced.
Miss Carrie Hemphill will have charge
OF the proposed school, and her name is
in itself a guarantee of success. She is
born teacher and has spent a large part
of her life in the training of children. As
suggested above, her two sisters, Miss
Jerusha and Miss Eloise Hemphill, will
probably be associated with her in this
work, and such a corps of teachers can
not but succeed.
The students of Miss Stella Harris
School OF Music will present at the studio
tonight the Moon Queen. Miss Harris has
a number of gifted young musicians
among the number of her pupils, and this
exhibition Is looked forward to with much
interest and pleasure.
Mr. and Mrs p. II. ketchum ana MISS
Grace Ketehum have gone to LOOKOUT
mountain on account of the bad health OF
Mrs Ketchum. Tuscaloosa gives this most
popular family up with much regret, as
they have made great number of friends
during their residence here, Miss ketchum
being a most admired belle with the
young people of Tuscaloosa society.
Miss Stella Harris has just returned
from Montgomery, where she was in at
tendance upon the State Musical associa-
ton Miss Harris was elected president or
the association for the second time quite
ar honor where so many musicians are
represented.

er, who received his diploma in engineer
ing last Wednesday. has gone to jackson,

neering department of the Mobile ana
Ohio railway. Bake is an immensely
