tendent of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company for the Ensley division,

pany. The many friends and business as

Notes and Personals.

Invitations are being received for the
commencement exercises of the Ensley
High school which will be held in the
auditorium of the school on May 81 The
class this year is one of exceptional
brightness. and the members are prepar-
ing an interesting programme to be car
ried out on the occasion of the gradual
ton
On yesterday evening at 7:30 o'clock
at the residence of the brides parents on
Avenue X, Joe Kimer and Miss Martha
Buchanan were united in marriage. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev L.
o. Reagor and was witnessed by num-
Der of friends of the contracting parties.
Both of the young people are well known,
and their many friends were united in
wishing for them happy life together.
The Ensley Elks held an interesting
meeting at their hall last night. P. L.
Nets was initiated into the order, and
three applications for membership were
received The grand convention that is
to be held in Denver In July was dis
cussed and it is quite probable that the
local lodge will send several delegates to
1t. A large party of the Ensley Elks will
attend the picnic at Germania park that
is to be given tomorrow by the Birming-
ham lodge.
Persons down town last night were
much entertained by the pranks and reso-
buttons of Buster Brown in the shape
of a free stereoptican advertisement of
the Hamilton Brown Shoe company. The
canvas was stretched in front of Hall
& Co.'S store on Nineteenth street and
attracted quite a crowd on the opposite
sidewalk.
The Royal Arch Masons held their reg
ular meeting last night and conferred de-
grees upon F. E. Porter.

been in charge of the steel plant and
furnaces here many improvements have
been made, and the plant has been mod
ernized in the small particulars.
While nothing definite as to the future
plans of the former superintendent are
given out. it is understood that he will
return to Pueblo and assume the posi-
ton of general superintendent of the large
plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany at that place. So far as is known,
his successor has not been named.
w. L. Klutz who has been assistant
the last two years, will soon leave that
position to become superintendent of the
Alice furnace. He will probably take
charge of this furnace on June /.
A gentleman who is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with Ensley affairs states that the
numerous changes in the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company are respon-
sible for the paucity of live news that
goes out from the town. The very life of
Ensley is wrapped up in its steel plant
and it's other industries, and when there
is an unsettled condition in the indus
trial world it is reflected in the gem
eral "newsiness" of the town. This does
not mean that there has been any falling
off in business, for it is well known that
all the industries have been producing
heavily of late, but IL shows how init
mately connected are the town and its
industries.

PLANT A GARDEN OR FLOWERS.

The smell of bonfires is in the air.
Ills the spring Of the year. The man
who is not stirred to an intense desire
to plant something is wrong inside. A
garden in the back yard is about all
the opportunity many of us have to re-
turn to nature and 1t should be utilized.
A few moments spent each day maxi
ing garden is worth a two weeks va
cation for tonic effect. 1t may save
doctors bills. 1t will tone up the APP
petite and may add few years to a
mans life. The work, when done, will
afford luxuries which can not be
bought with money.
The wonder has always been that
people living in towns do not plant
more flowers and raise more gardens.
In eastern cities, where people have so
much leisure that they think more of
the beauties of nature and their minds
turn more to the esthetic. societies are
formed to go about town and plant
vines to cover unsightly stumps and
buildings People are encouraged to
clean up back yards and plant shrub
berry and vines to cover these grounds.
The argument is that it costs little or
nothing to grow beautiful gardens
where ash heaps and tin cans are wont
to lie and the result need not be ex-
planned to be appreciated.
In every town the citizens would do
we'll to follow such an example. There
are few, If any back yards where there
is not room for currants and grapes.
and strawberries to yield their annual
crops. Fresh vegetables can be grown
on ground 1Ox10 feet in area. Aspara-
gus for breakfast for six weeks in sue
feet. Ten cents worth Of sweet pea or
nasturtium seed will cover 60 feet of
back yard fence with beautiful flowers.
Nature will do wonders with ten-cent
start if people would only dig in the
dirt and give her a chance. Be man.
Thank your creator for the sunshine,
the trees and the grass, plant some
thing and help it to grow, for soon you
will be an old man. When you begin
to see the time for you to be taken
away from the beauties of this earth
you will wonder why you did not APP
preciate them sooner in life. Old men
love nature and growing things. All
men should do the same. Factories and
machinery, stores and counters, offices
and desks would be manned by better
men if there were more gardens and
more flowers at home.

CASTER AT MANSON.

Lack Dalton In the Manson Democrat
The shadows of evening fell and
then came the night with all its weird
ness. The April winds sighed diSmally
thru the naked branches of the trees.
the blackness of the night became
more impenetrable, a cold mist settled
over the earth, which seemed almost to
trerlbe in it's wretchcdnes. The light
ming flashed athwart the sky, the thun-
der rolled ofninously and soon the
clouds let out their rain and the whole
world wept, as If in mourning for the
scourged and crucified Man of Cal
vary.
1t was the last night of Lent.
The first soft glow of the new dawn
carne in sky cloudless, and just bid
ding a lingering farewell to the myriad
stars. The suns first rays kissed a
soft south wind, which waited the
scent of flowers and of budding trees
across the landscape. The birds of
springtime caroled songs of praise to
the morning. The sun burst in a mad.
riotous splendor over the earth, the
hand of God attuned the harps OF all
the angels in Heaven and the whole
world was engulfed in a melody OF
praise to the risen Christ.
1t was Easter Sunday morning.
