There are many methods of courting, but perhaps the most novel yet is the one recently hit upon by a bashful young man right here In this town. When he attempts to speak to one of the opposite sex, his words somehow stick in his throat and he shutters in confusion. He became enamoured of a young lady who plays the piano and this Is the scheme he finally hit upon will save lot of time for the young man who means business:
 The first evening he called he walked to the plano and east his eye oves a stack of sheet music while the girl sat herself upon the stool
 The young man blushing rosy red picked up a song and thrust the glar- ing title under her nose. It read;
 How'd you like to spoon with me? The girl smiled and reached for song. It said:

Rates of Ftre Innurance.

I wonder why the fire insurance companies bear down on Montgomery" asked & we1I-known business man yes- terday. Every day we read of de- structive fires in the various cities of the South and Montgomery has had no fire of serious consequence within the have an unlimited water supply and Montgomery insures a power of such magnitude that the fire engines will rarely have to pump.
 'TThe Council is very liberal as to fire apparatus. There Is rarely Council meeting in which an ordinance to inn prove the Fire Department fails to come up. Only recently the Council pur- chased 4,000 feet of new hose and a new fire engine and there is an ordi- nance now before the Council favorably reported looking to the purchase of a new hose cart and q combination chemical engine.
 During the past twelve months two new fire stations have been built and a new one will be erected at Highland Park, a new and powerful fire engine has been purchased and modern chemical engine bought. The force of hremen has been increased and many hundred feet of hose have been pur- chased.
 "The Department is conceded to be one of the best in the. South. Still practically every city in the South gets a better fire insurance rate than Mont gomery Why7
 There is something wrong with such conditions"

 burst forth Into bloom; Not long before we'll have no more of
 winters chill and gloom How we love to sec the springtime
 with the shy buds peeping out; :. How we love to hear the songbirds and
 the plowman's merry shout. Oh my sweetheart's in the window and
 her face is all abeasn, Her song may wake the roses there
 anoddiug where they dream. Oh the nodding of the roses. soon
 they'll lift their smiling lips To catch the dew of morning sweet to
 them as honey drips. Then the jealous sun will finger for
 his usual sweet caress. And the little holding roses will blush
 red In happiness. While the Alabama mocking bird will
 warbIe songs of love Till the angels up in Heaven will smile
 on us from above. N.-. Then my lady from her window with
 her bright eyes all ag1eam Will sing song to call me where the

gument can overcome the confidence
which such an experience inspires.
After a man or woman has tried
many remedies, has consulted many
doctors, (and still the disease hngers).
and then has turned to- Peruna as q
last resort and realized immediate
benefit and finally a lasting cure
after such a thing has happened, a
lasting faith in the virtue of the rem
edy is the result.
It ought to be so, too. The reputa-
ton of Peruna is built upon a solid
foundation of public confidence.
People have tried it, been relieved
by 1t and believe in it. This and this
alone explains the universal popularity
of Peruna as a family medicine.

this morning, with my neighbOrs-

I was taking up a trot-line in the river
opposite my house and we got shock
that not only has remained with US. but
has spread over the neighborhood to the
extent that you can't get a native into
the river for love or money. I was
handling the oars and Wheeler was
running the line when he suddenly
yelled Wow and nearly upset the boat
as he jumped back.
It's the devil, sure, he exclaimed,
with his eyes bulging. And when
wanted to know what, he said it was
on the line. I pulled in the slack OF
the line and there was the Queerest

it had an innumerable number Of legs
or arms that it waved around as though
searching for something. The body was
dark in color and perhaps a foot in di-

long and seemed to have something like
suckers on the ends. No, we didn't try
to get it in the bOat-we just let the
spidery thing drop back-we were not
after freaks What was it? I don't
know But a man who came down from
