Programme of Meeting.
 Following is the plan of the Rev E. E. Hendrick and Rev, A. l.. Carter for the next two days:
 Tuesday--Shop service, s a. m.; business meeting at the new Harrison Bancroft drug store for men, 10 a. m; services for all, city hall, 10:30 a. m; special meet ing for men only, city hall. 7:45.
 Wednesday-Shop service, 8 a. m; ser mon for women only, city hall, 10:30 a. m; special service for children, city hall, 8 D. m, open to all, 7:45.
 The evangelsts are using every spare moment and are doing a great work in the city. Never before has there been so great an awakening in religious life. The city hall Is crowded at every meet ing and many have to be turned from the door.
 The shop services are unique and es- pecially interesting. MT. Hendrick in- tends to visit every plant in Bessemer during the week He holds twenty minutes prayer and song service and makes short talk and the men find suggestions for deep thought in his sim pie words and go away refreshed. MT. Hendrick is everybodys friend.
 Those who attended the mems meet ing Sunday afternoon will be sure to go early tomorrow night. as at that time | far more interest in this second occasion. The women always attend in large num- hers and the preachers say they can al- ways count on good crowd at the wo- mems services. The mothers are urged to send their children Wednesday after noon. as MT Hendrick makes a strong talk to the little ones and tells them Bi- be stories long to be remembered . Edmundsons drug store was not large apolUh In hold Ia " hp cal raA there this morning. Over one hundred crowded into the building and others stood on the sidewalk. The attendance at liar rison- Bancroft's tomorrow will be quite as large.
 Fall Openings.
 Most of the stores opened for the fall season this morning with beautiful dis- plays, artistical,y arranged The buyers have returned from the eastern markets with a carefully selected stock of high class dry goods and millinery, which does credit to the quality of the trade At Moore Bros. band from Birmingham played from 1 to D. m,. and other stores had varied entertainments. Unique sou venirs were presented to the customers who thronged the streets and places of business.
 The merchants are just entering the greatest season in the history of the city. Every furnace, industry and mine is running over time and paying out great sums of money, Several gangs of rail road engineers and constructors will be located here during the winter. Unlike other suburbs of Birmingham. our people trade at home. They are furnished witt, the best at the cheapest price, and never rush off to the larger city.
 Postoffice Gains.
 The report of the postoffce shows an increase in receipts of S955.S over the same quarter in last year.
 The business of the office Is growing with such large strides that all previous records are broken. and the little build ing is proving too small It will require considerable ingenuity to make room enough for the increased work until the government building is constructed. The plans have not yet been received from Washington. and there will probably be considerable delay.
 Two new city routes will be added at soon as arrangements are completed, one for Brighton and the other for Jones' boro. Both places have been numbered and the citizens are waiting impatiently for the free delivery.

 The Library association will meet to- morrow night for the purpose of electins a librarian.
