The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-05-26


Baldwin Times: The Car of Russia has
again made friends with his people They
quarrel one day-kiss and make it up the
next.
West Point and Lanette News: Jack
Frost knows how to cut down the cot
ton acreage in this country. A late visit
does the work.
Andalusia News: Yes, sir; Birmingham
is a great town. Last week they manu-
featured three bishops, and Atlanta never
batted her eyes
Franklin Times: As result of the
great San Francisco fire the insurance
companies have raised their rates. The
Goal Oil Johnny STYLE
Roanoke Leader: The south needs
few rough and-ready fellows in the Sen
ate like Tillman Bailey and Carmack to
speak out in meeting when the occasion
demands.
Admission Star: The photographers have
been so busy discussing the rate bill
lately that the dressmaker's bill, the
tailor's bill, the ice bill and Mr.. Corners
"hill-bill' seem to have been ignored.
Jasper Mountain Eagle: There are so
many "Honorables" over the state rum
ming for office that it Is task for an
ordinary man to keep their names and
the office each is running for in mind.
% ,ff,a mi dtcplaUad
in a local drug store is a sign adver-
Using the virtues of "Skidoo for Mus
quitors." The self-respecting insects are
expected to back away from spelling as
awful as that.
Limestone Democrat: The people of
Alabama are paying less attention to
politics now than for many years prev
ious to 1906. 1t is doubtless a very good
omen as people become more or less in
different to political matters when they
are happy and prosperous.
Brewton Standard: Among her num-
erous other possessions, our town has her
full share of old bachelors, although they
are by no means the past-redemption
kind. Just why these men travel alone is
not quite clear-especially to goodly
number of the tender sex.
Tallapoosa Courier: Conecuh county has
voted the mill tax on herself for school
purposes This is thlrty-seven counties
that have lined up for better schools.
Every county in the state will finally vote
for the mill tax. 1t is a great stigma
to any county to remain in the dark
columns, especially those who have voted
against the tax.
Montgomery Journal: Vice President
Fairbanks has come and has gone. His
reception and stay at Birmingham as
fraternal delegate from the north, to the
general conference of the southern Meth
odist church was to him pleasant visit
His reception by the city and by the
conference was well timed and passed off
satisfactorily to all concerned. If there
was any life given to Mr. Fairbanks
Presidential aspirations, no one seems to
have been made aware of the fact. His
boom doesn't seem to be of the going
king.
PrattVlue Progress: a lennessee Wom-
an read in a paper how to cure her hus-
band of the booze habit by sending for
certain medicine and secretly putting
1t in the coffee. She sent for one of
"Mary's Miracles or some similar quack
medicine and put it in the old mans
coffee and the first dose cured him. The
funeral services were largely attended.
Those advertised cures for drunkneSS are
boon to poor wives whose husbands
drink to excess They are perfectly safe
to handle, tasteless and do the work
much quicker than strycnnine, arsenic
or rough n-rats.
