SIDEWALK PENClLINGS
sees Changer in City.

ms IS the hrst time l nave been n montgomery in many years, said one time prominent caterer of the capitol city, and ain surprised at the many changes which confront me on every hand.
 There are numerous indications tnat tne city is on the eve Of a great ildustrial awakening, and as my in- tsrests were once bound up with Mont est in all that concerns It's welfare, ! am gratffied at this change. The people all appear to be more hustling ana energetic now than when was here iaet and business of all kinds IS on the boom. Buildings are going up at wonderful rate, and the com munity appears to be prospering.
 understand that there is little law government seems to be free from the insidious petty graft which has done so much to retard the advance and
 o0pt n Of otnsT nS ftlss ass gnsre IS destined to become great city, aud do not think that the day Is far dis tant when 1t will take it's place among the great cities of | the s south.'
 Smoker shows Character.
 Xou may never have noticed It, but IT is fact that you can tell a mans character from the manner in which he smokes his cigar" said a local deal- CT in cigars and tobaccos, yesterday. Take, for instance. the man who takes nrm grip on his cigar and tits t upward at an angle of forty-five degrees. You can be pretty sure that he has the qualities which make for success. at least material success, such as aggressiveness, self-reliance and null-dog determination, Then there Is fellow who smokes his cigar on an even line, pufhing quietly and regularly at the weed. With little fear of making mistake. you can set him down as man of easy going temperament honest, but lacking in initiative, and without those qualities which place man in the front rank of professional business | men.
 "There is still another type that have studied and that Is the man who allows his cigar to droop from one ways foll 5w, of course, that that man is not as upright, and business like as any other. but would hesitate to trust any important business affairs
