Much interest is being manifested in the approaching visit of Vice President Fairbanks to Birmingham. The long and distinguished citizen of Indiana has no difficulty in getting off for few days and will no doubt be suitably impressed with Birmingham greatness. He will be expected to furnish three interviews each day to the three papers, saying how grat- flied he is with the city's growth and development and how much better the town Is than Atlanta. As there will be no admission charges, many of our best people will avail themselves of an oppor- tunity of seeing the Vice President of, this great and glorious country. MT. Fair banks will see Vulcan while here.

sPoTLEss TOWN.

Life is fine in Spotless town
 Where everything is clean And all the people are so good
 They're never cross and mean Where all the streets are free from trash And sprinkled all the time Where laws are always needed and
 The climate Is sublime Where coppers never go to sleep
 And graft is quite unknown Among the city fathers who
 Let shady schemes alone. Where "Interests'' don't dominate
 The council when it sits. Nor rank abuses here and there
 Give loud reformers fits. Where Ordinances all apply
 Whenever they are passed And justice never has a chance
 To see herself outclassed. Where ''mashers' never walk the streets And loafers never stay, Where trains always arrive on time And baseball's every day. Where people never try to sing,
 While running up the scales In vocal acrobatics that
 Resemble feline walls. Where auto cars don't have a smell And whisky no headache, Where foaming beer is free to all Who have thirst to slake. af Where moneys not the status by Which citizens are ranked And people doing services
 Are paid when they are thanked Yes, life is fine in Spotless town,
 And yet, it grieves me so, To say you will not find the place,
 No matter where you go

while their strength lasted two men
