BIBLE sOCIETY'S DISPLAY.
Its Novelty and Attractiveness Drew
 General Attention.


 the State Fair last week was the dis play of the Alabama Bible Society. Few of the visitors who saw the at tractive booth knew that perhaps that was the first exhibit made at a South ern State Fair by a Bible Society.
 A drummer who was looking over the Fair declared that he had trav- eled over twenty-five States and had visited State Fairs in practically every one of them. but he had never before seen an exhibit by a Bible Society. He was so interested in the display that he bought a Bible as a souvenir of the Fair and the novel exhibit.
 Many of the out-of-town visitors who have been interested in church and more work had heard of the la bors of the Alabama Bible Society. but until they visited the Fair they had never come into direct contact with it. The handsome and attractive booth in which Bibles of every form of puh- lication were known. formed a place of peculiar interest for these visi- tors.
 The exhibit was in charge of Rev. w J. Eloitt. Secretary of the Society who was in constant attendance upon the booth. MT. Elliott was very much pleased with the result of the Society 8 display. By means of 1t a large num- Der of Bibles were sold and much in- terest in the work of the society was stimulated.

$4,000 and two adjoining relinquish-

"At Bruce's eddy the river bends at
righ angles and runs between granite
bluffs In a narrow channel. It has long
been pointed out that there is no bet

at this point. A 40-foot dam would
back the river up for five miles and
flood the land just purchased making a
cove for catching and holding the logs
that come from the river above.
"A short tunnel through the granite
