avoid the hot spell, are coming back
home now in large numbers" said a
citizen yesterday. The backbone of
the summer is at last broken, and 1t Is
not likely there will be any more Sc
we're warm weather. Scores OF persons
have come. back to old MONTGOMERY
from the summer resorts and they are
preparing for fall and winter Many
homes that were deserted all the sum-
mer, because the occupants were en-
jcying themselves In other parts of the
country, have again assumed cheer
full appearance.
Business has taken a squirt In the
last few weeks and our merchants all
say they have no reason TO complain,
The languor of the summer time has
passed, and the fall rush is taking Its
place. I can account for business be-
ing so brisk only because of the fact
that Montgomery now has other re-
sources besides cotton. No great guam
tity of cotton has been coming in. The
fact Is. the farmers seem to be holding
hack their crop for better prices, and 1t
is wonderful. with this handicap. how
business Is forging ahead. To my mind
this H1atu1y illustrates. the growth and
prosperity Of our city"
