In the lower end of the county, where the Bulls Gap road crosses the noun tain, has been located the first Trupen- tine distilery ever started in this sec tion. It is matter of great curiosity to those who have never seen turpentine distillery. and people come for quite a distance to observe the workings and ask many questions. All over the woods cups tackled to pine trees of every size catch the rosin as it runs down groove without in any way injurng the tree. The scarcity of hands prevent the trees being worked to the full capacity though the work Is light and pleasant. The present price of turpentine makes the bus mess profitable. and 1t Is not likely to grow less so as time rolls on.

 Superintendent Bellengrath of the light and water commission has twenty hands at work cutting the excavation for the laying of new iron gas mains. He has already laid 1000 feet of 4-inch main from the residence of C. w. Stringer to lsbell corner, also 1200 feet of 6-ineh pipe down the east side of East street to itnersec- tion of Battle street beginninf at res idence of J. B. Woodward, and will put down 1900 feet more smaller piper from the Powe home to Stonington. Talladega was one of the first towns in Alabama to begin the use of gas, and this iluminant has been in constant use here for more than forty years. The constantly in- creasing demand for gas to use in cook ing has necessitated the increase in size of pipe. In the old days the gas was made of pine knots, and recent excavation for an additional fire house on North street has uncovered the ancient gas we'll or gas pit, ten feet deep, and it is need less to say that the smell of gas fingers there still.
