SCENES IN A DAYS DELAY.


 One cannot realize the confusion created in travel by the recent strom and high waters.
 l Even on a short Journey many inconven- fences are encountered and much of hu- man nature Is displayed in the lack of forbearance and an uncomfortable desire to censure some one" said lady who had taken a round about way to reach Birmingham.
 The depots are filled with inquiring people, those who have missed connection, or probably whose trains has been de. layed, have the most injured faces, even though among strangers and they refrain from talking as a little girl once said, they look like they want to say some thing. and probably not the most amia- ble things.
 The babies all cry at once and noises fill the air
 A lady who had been shocked to pros- tration by the recent California earth quake was taking a Southern tour, to re- cuperate, visiting Florida, New Orleans and Mobile Landing in Mobile on the eve of the storm, her condition became seri- ous and she was hurried to another city to find that she was directly in the path of the confusion. Certainly she Is con- vinced that no section is free from dis aster and sorrow.
 When persons are well fixed with money to defray all emergency expenses and are only disturbed because their pleasure Is interrupted, it seems but tri1e to fret; the real sympathy Is due the travellers who have purchased tickets to their jour- ney's end, prepared lunch for the limited time and find themselves in a strange city with depleated purse, waiting indefinite ly until things can be adjusted.
 These sceens have been enacted in the past few days and have touched the heart of the fellow travellers; to administer lit tie kindly courtecies in such instances to extend the hand of friendship, has been no strange mission of the officers ana the frequenters of the depot recently.
 With all of the sadness, anxiety and restlessness that We meet there always peeps out just little fun, enough to bring smiles that are as sunshine to the l u6JeClbu. AL d Siiihli way 7tReiotf "aAAiN waiting for a train. there drove up a wagon loaded with negroes. of the planta- tion type, dressed in their Sunday clothes, on their way to church. They had been ] overtaken by violent shower, when they had gathered under the shed they begun to inspect their finery; nanny" was a sight to behold. She had dressed with skirt and white shirt waist, and as wrap, had on a circular velvet cape, em- broldered and fringed, evidently one that she had inherited from "the white folks but oh my, her chagrin when she pulled 1t off, to find her waist dyed, she was cer- tain folks will think lief home with dis, A lady present opened her grip and gave her fresh waist. The old woman cour- ticied, in the old time way, and said: Tor, Miss l said you looked like my white folks I gwy wear dis waist, and pray for you when I get to do meetin', hit fits fur the world.'

The merchants of this city, and,

well, have made a distinct gain on
the mail order houses the past ten
months, thru the influence of per

why the gain should not continue to
grow until the unreliable dealer
way down in the city is reles ated
to the back ground as a real live
competitor. A continuation and
extension of the same tactics will do
the business. They have our
