Mrs. sarah Hudson, Pioneer Atnhamfan
 Hostess to Her Descendants.
 Uniontown, February IS, tSpeciaD-- Saturday was a day of great interest to many of Uniontowns citizens. as on that day Mrs. Sarah J. Hudson celebrat- ed her eighty sixth birthday.
 As has been her custom she gave a birthday dinner that was partalxen of by thirty persons. Among the out of town visitors were the following per- sons from Demopolis, her son, James A. Hudson and the grand children, Judge E. s. Cornish and wife, with their son George, W. A. Welch, a son-tn-faw, l.. c. Lowe, vice president of. Prout and Robertsons bank and his wife. Ira Welch. Jamess c. Graves. Thomas II. Graves, Miss Sadie, Aiieen and Katb. leen Graves and Robert L. Hudson, and Dudley P. Coleman and wife, Mary Hud> son and their daughter Rose. of Fauns- dale.
 Mrs. Hudson is one of the oldest liv- ing Alabamains as she was born in Clark County when the state was only four years old. Her parents came to Clarke county when Alabama was a territory and her grand father. General Joseph Boyd Chambers had charge of the land office at old St. Stephens and was first Senator from Clarke county Where now stands the f1ourishing city of Uniontown was wilderness of cane, when she was brought here an infant of four years and the red man, bears, wolves and deer roamed through it's wiIds.
 Her father cut the first trail through the cane from here to Cahaba- She has also seen this wilderness develop into the finest agricultural country in the state, peopled with as noble people as the sun shines upon.
 Mrs. Hudson recoliects we'll the Wood brothers, who built the first house in what Is now called Uniontown but was long known as Woodville. It was a rude log house. covered with rough boards that were kept in place by weight poles. She has been a resident of this place almost continually since that time and has lived in her present home for more than sixty years.
 She has done her share towards car rying out the Bible mi .nction to multi ply and increase the earth. She was the mother of twelve sons and daughters. six of whom are living, the oldest being Thomas Hudson, who is in his sixty sixth year.
 She has had forty grand children and now has seventeen great grand chill dren.
 She has an aunt living, Mrs. Alkaline Hungerford, who will be eighty-six years old in october. and a sister Iiv- ing with her. Miss Bettie Chambers, who is eighty years old. One of her great grand children, Carter Hunger ford occupies the unique position of having three great grand mothers whose combined age total nearly 276 years, namely Mrs. Hudson, Mrs, Hun gerford, whose ages are given, and Mrs M M. Pitts, who is eighty-four years of age.

COUNCIL LACKS auoRuh.
City Fathers Fall to Hold Scheduled Meeting


 When President Gaston Gunter of the City Council rapped for order at s:15 o'clock last night there was but half dozen of the aldermen present, and as the regular meeting had been called for 7:3O o'clock no quorum was ruled, and the meeting was postponed until next Monday night. Tn case of any business of unusual or unexpec- ted importance, however. a special session will be called for some night this week.
 When the Council assemblies 1t will face. 1t is expected vetoed ord- finance. It is understood Mayor Teague has vetoed the ordinance providing for the purchase, by the city. of a uniform and cap for each member of the fire department. This oft mooted question of the expedienry :. of the city's supplying uniforms to-. it's em- ployes in the police and fire depart ments seems difficult of settlement, and 1t may be that the Council will pass the ordinance over the Mayors veto. The recent purchase of uni- forms for the members of tho police department Is regarded as a strong precedtn for furnishing suieE for the fire department.
 A prin ,ipal matter to have consid- eration will be the ordinance provid. ing money for the repayment of taxes paid on solvent credits. Among other affairs is the examination of bids for the supplying of gravel to the city.
