YEARS GREAT BUSINESS
 AT MONTGOMERY POSTOFFICE

The business done at the Montgomery postofice, the figures of which have just been completed and compiled show a great increase in the volume of the business done in the year just closed From the figures made up by Postmas- g. ter c. w Buckley 1t is shown that the Montgomery postofice in the calendar year which closed Sunday night in- creased its business in one year by the sum of s4,164.7s
 These figures in themselves show the general prosperity which has come to the city of Montgomery. For, from the statement given out yesterday by Postmaster Buckley, 1t is learned that the business done in the year ending December 31. 1905 was $104,796.99. From the figures from the same source in reference of the year of 1904 it Is seen that the business donc in that year amounted to $100,632.21.
 These figures for the two years relate to the two totals for the years of 1904 and 1905. But the totals as eloquent as they are DO less convincing as to the general and widespread prosperity In every department of the variegated work of the Montgomery postofice pro- gross, advance and prosperity are

It is evident that the big pro- fits of the Tuscaloosa dispensary ap- pealed to the majority there.
 Judge Browne issued a marriage license to J. F. Stevens and Miss Kit tie Darden this morning. Miss Darden is one of Tuscaloosa's sweetest girls and enjoys a very wide circle of friends. MT Stevens is a prominent business man of Jacksonville Florida. After the wedding they will reside there.
 The people of this county are much pleased with the contract which Cir cult Clerk B. B. Cooper made with large coal corporation in Jefferson county recently. The contract reads that the company is to hire all Tusca- loosa convicts feed and clothe them and the county is to receive $25 per month for each convict. This is the largest price paid to any county in the state for convict labor. The county for quite a while has been receiving S7 per month for conviets which was thought to be fair price The con tract was made for three years. pr. S. J. Mayfield and Dr. Trimm have sold a large tract of land. consis- ting of 1,560 acres. The price paid was S15 per acre. ". H. Christian has also sold some thousand acres at the same price Tuscaloosa county dirt is growing in value from day to day and there is a constant demand for 1t. S.
