 When we come to think it over we are compelled to admit that our Port land brothers complaint is well found ed. but what would you have?

As many other cities have done in the past and will continue to do in the future, the city of Columbus tried to accomplish the impossible by adopt ing an ordinance prohibiting fowls from running at large within the cor porate limits. It was done at the in stance of persons owning unfeneed flower yards and gardens, but though the ordinance has been in operation but a few weeks 1t created so much dissatisfaction among residents or the suburban portions of the city that " has been amended so as to apply only ts, a few business and residence blocks in inc heart of the city. This. we pre- dict is merely the beginning of movement to repeal the ordinance en- tirely. When law can prevent fowls .running at large" they may try iegis- lating against flies.

 My first visit to Montgomery was in 1S63s' said MT. McConnico. Fhe city has changed greatly since that time. hardly knew how to find my way 10 the Conitai from the railway station. HOn my first visit here in . s63 l was on my way to join the Lexlngfon ca dets at Lexington, Ky, and stopped over in Montgomery for some days Io see the Capital of the Confederate states. Since that time have had occasion 70 pass through Montgomery, but nave never left the railway station.
 Montgomery is beautiful city l spent a good part of the day riding on the street cars looking over the city. The streets are wide and some ot them are we'll payer. also saw thai your city has q good many handsome resi- dences and the business district seems to be well built up.
 MT. McConnico asked about the l9I0 buttons which he had noticed on me coat lapels of some of the business men down town. When the button was ex- rlained to him, he expressed the opinion that Montgomery ought not to nave much trouble gaining the uesired re- suit.
