RICHEST DIRT IN ALABAMA
 IS ON MONTGOMERY'S AVENUE

den and big front yard, would pay for only one front foot of this business property along Dexter avenue.
 This same real estate man, who has been long in the business and who knows all of Alabama, not only Mont gomery but all Alabama. was author ity for the statement that the dirt on Dexter avenue was the most valuable in all the State. tAe figured out that the most valuable property in Alabama was on Dexter avenue in Montgomery, Twentieth street in Birmingham and Royal street in Mobile. He was quite sure after going over his knowledge, that the Dexter avenue dirt was the most valuable of the three.
 Take the two buildings on Dexter avenue. where it begins at Court Square. and consider them, The two buildings that face each other, one the old Farley Bank building and the other the Winter building. If you wanted to buy the lots on whicn those buildings stand and you offered to the owner to cover the ground with silver dollars. as closely as they could be laid the offer would be rejected You might offer to cover the ground with silver dollars laid against each other on edge. Your offer would not be con- sidered

watch your fortune grow. You could be assured of a. steady living income while your fortune was surely and con tinually increasing.
 There is a store on Dexter avenue not very far from Court Square which was sold a little over a score of years ago. It brought just S3,Oe0. The same building is on the lot that was on 1t when this sale was made. That prop erty today is worth more than ten times as much as 1t sold for twenty years ago. Any real estate man will tell you that it is worth $30.000. Some of them will likely tell you 1t is worth ss5. .OOO. All the time that property has been making a fortune for its owner and all the time it has been paying him a steady income
 Richest Dirt in Alabama.
 But in talking about Dexter avenue few people know that the land on which those stores stand near Court Square is the richest dirt in Alabama. If this land had a gold mine, that gold mine would have to be mighty rich proposition to make 1t more valuable than 1t is now. real estate man did some rapid figuring on one of those lots. He found that they were worth s24GO front foot. In other words the amount of money that would buy a comfortable cottage in an Alabama town-a nice little home with a gar

the better half free of cost to theam which they could no doubt sell for SEQ, ,000. Which shows how NTontgom~ cry real estate makes money for peo- pie who bought It.
 Tn that same neighborhood Schiqss and Kahn, seeing how property was going up and how the business district was widening. bought piece of Ment- gomery dirt for which they paid &tss- O00. IL is gossip in real estate cir cles that an offer of STb.u00 for the same piece of property was not et. tractive enough to demand much con, alteration
 Some years ago Greil Brothers Com pany put up. a new building on Talt iapoosa street, short distance from Commerce street. They paid s50.o0t for the lot. 1t was a nice lot and large one, but the opinion was freeis talked that 1t cost too much money A lot similar in size and just acrose the street from the Greil building sold @ few weeks ago for S100,000.
 Montgomery Street Deal.
 The sale of e piece of property on Montgomery street to N. J. Bell by Frank Kohn last year drew the inter- est of commercial Montgomeryi 10 tha rapid way in which real estate was growing in this city. It was another indication. too, of the immtnence or a movement extending the retail dis- trict MT. Kohn had bought that prop. erty for $4O.OO0. He held 1t only G few weeks. Mir. Bell wanted it and ots fered him S50,OOO for it. So MT. Kohn sold 1t for the neat profit of S10.00e They say in real estate circles, that tho property might now bo sold for SIS. 900, or even more.
 The figures here given are given be- cause business property affords the most definite idea U. the increase of Montgomery's real estate values. The figures on suburban property are more indefinite, but no less astonishing. They are indefinite because In the sub- urbs changes have been making such headway that the lots have been cut into smaller lots Old fields have De- come suburbs ornamented with beauti- ful homes. But suburban property has advanced quite as rapidly as business property. The man who owned a nica. suburban lot and home may feel justly that he is not getting all that comes to him if his property Is not doubled in six years Taken as a whole ft may be said that suburban property ia twice as valuable as 1t was six years ago.
 And that is the way Montgomery is prospering.

but of Europe also Half way down the bluff there is a bed of yellowlSh sand some seventeen feet in thickness and extending along the face of the blum for at least mile, in which are irnbedded those beautifully preserved fossil shells which have made the name Claiborne famous in all parts of the civilized world where museums have been established. This bed might per haps be better described as bed or shells packed in sand, which merely fills in the spaces between them. The mass is only slightly coherent so that one may break down from the blum a great lumI, of it. which may be crum- bled up with the fingers. liberattng the shells in perfect state of preservation and strong enough to be not too easily broken. While the markings in color of the original shells are generally ob- liberated, one finds now and then specimen In which these markings are still to be clearly observed, notwith- standing the vast lapse of time since the shell sheld a living being.
 The attention of geologists was first directed to Claiborne by Judge Charles Tait, a citizen of the town, who, in January 1881, sent to pr. Isaac Lea of Philadelphia few Of the characteristic shells. This led to further correspond-
 ence and the forwarding of a large quantity of the material in which Dr. Lea found more than two hundred and twenty species new to science. These new forms were described and figured. in his "Cuntributons to Geology.
 published in 1898.
 Judge Tait must have been possess. ed of the true scientific spirit, for he collected with great care the shells from each of the various strata of the Claiborne bluff and sent them, togeth- CT with specimens of the materials in which they were imbedded, to his friend.

 They were not--the more is the shame. The great, grimy engine is waiting
 The throttle stands ready at will. But the whistle piped all hands no longer. And hushed is the throb of the mill. You talk about living and dying. .. Of heaven and glory so pat. And you ring big bell every Sunday
 To tell us of Christ and all that; But ye see we have no lives worth living. 'Twere better lie down and be still For we know but to wait for the whistle. We know-but to grind at the mill What is ita-my bbeared eyes are failing. But see grim phantom-look therei' It crOuches by yon dusky portal.

 Stretched on bed of death: Wan were his eh9eks. hs eyes were dim,
 And scanty was his breath. I saw the white-stoled nuns bend OCT
 And smooth his hoary hair; heard the accents sweet and low
 Of Etany and prayer ''EIave mercy. -Lord''--these were the words The voices seemed to say ''Ere yet the silver cord be oosed.
 The spirit pass away. In dreams across the frozen fields.
 Loud from its lofty tower, heard the wakeful village clock
 Proclaim the midnight hour. A silence-then cry of dole;
 Forth from that chamber door From mouth to mouth the word has sped
 ''The king; he is no more. The jewellers in the village street
 Whisper the message dread; ''EIs day is done, his race is run,
 Our aged king is dead When morn blushed OCT the eastern hills.
