Ensley. May 10-tspecial) )-Real estate dealers in the city report a period of unusually good sales in the real estate market of Ensley Every few days, deals of considerable importance are closed, and the transfer of residence lots shows a steady increase from month to month.
 Among those who bought residence lots in the city today was W. O. Stroud, who purchased two lots on the Ensley South Highlands and Mrs. Hattie M M'Ilheran who purchased one lot in the same local ity. This section is one of the most de- sirable of the urban residence districts of Ensley. Besides being naturally adapt ed for the purpose of building it has good advantages in the way of city improve ments. and it is destined to become more popular in the future.
 Prominent Visitors. The city was llvened up considerably this afternoon by the arrival of four car loads of visitors from the general con ference in Birmingham. They were ac- companied by a number of representa- tive men from Birmingham who came along to act as guides, it were. to the party. The visitors inspected the steel plant and several other of the industries around the town. Expressions of surprise and wonder were heard from many of the delegates when they were taken through the great steel mill. They had all heard of the magnitude and modernness of the plant, but they could not realize without actually coming and seeing for themselves the position which Ensley holds in the indp al nf lao also seemed to be impressed with the town as a whole
 Y. M. c. A. Annex.
 The petition which is being circulated with the aim of inducing the Young Mems Christian association in Birmingham to establish a branch in this city is meeting with the approval of the citizens. It has long been apparent that an institution of this character is needed in Ensley, and especially at this time when the town is growing SD fast and gaining such a large population of young men, it is felt that the time is ripe for the movement to take definite shape.
 It is highly probable that Young Mems Christian association annex will be added to the public library if the plan which is now on foot does not miscarry It is also quite probable that several of the large toulpdlleS OptTdllnk 0eTe WILL dlu lllc pro moters in a financial way. It has been suggested S2o.000 is about the sum that will be required to erect a suitable build ing or annex, and it is confidently ex- peeted by interested parties that this amount will be easily raised.
