PAR AND ACCRUED INTEREST

Martin H. Sullivan, Southern man, has purchased Montgomery's s46S.ooO of refunding bonds at par and accrued interest The deal has been conclud- ed. although the actual transfer of the bonds for the cash will not take place in New York until Monday, when the banks representing the city and MT. Sullivan will formally make the exchange.
 Thus IS closed what it declared to be the second largest financial trans action that has ever been consumma- tedt in Montgomery. The single deal which eclipses 1t in the amount of money involved is declared to have been the sale something over a year ago of the Montgomery Street Rail- way.
 The sale of the bonds was effected by the local firm of F. M. Kohn and Sons, who will receive a commission of s12.5Oo for making the deal It was made only after considerable trouble had been experienced by the city in trying to place the bonds. both here and in New York.

 Matter To Be Taken.

Matter To Be Taken.
 The obligations of the City of Mont gomery to pay F. M. Kohn and Son $12,500 for negotiating the sale of the sf6S,000 refunding bonds, and the fact that the city of Montgomery is in the hole $35,00o for funds necessary for the current expenses of the municipal government, yesterday caused Presi- dent Gaston Gunter of the City Coun- Gil to call special meeting of the City Council for 7:30 o'clock tonight to con- slider borrowing the money. aggregat- Ing a total of $475oo.
 The call for the meeting says that 1t Is to be held flor the purpose of an- thorizing the Mayor to provide for the settlement with Messrs. F. M. Kohn and Sons for services rendered, and to consider an ordinance to authorize the Mayor to borrow $12,500---also to au- thorize the Trust Company of Amer lea to deliver the rerunding bonds of the city of Montgomery to the pur- chaser of the same, and to cancel the bonds of the city of Montgomery that matured January 1. 1907, and the bonds that will mature July 2, 1907; also to authorize the Mayor to borrow s35,0oa and for the purpose of receiving and acting upon a report from the Conc mittee on Streets"
 In reference to the steps proposed in the call for borrowing s3- 1000 for con- ducting the city government, Mayor Teague said yesterday that such a loan was not unusual The city, he said, had for about ten years past been borrow ing such funds for current expenses and some years 1t had been as high as $50.- 900. He considered the loan imper- ative and thought it would speedily be made as soon as the Council gave the proper authority.

SIN IS HIS SUBJECT
DIR. R. de0vIEs OF BIRMINGHAM
 BREACHES AT ST. JOHNS.
Eloquent sermon CIosfng the Tuesday Evening Lenfcn Services is Heard by Largest week.
 Night Congregation.

Rev. R. deOvies of Birmingham preached the lsermon that marked the closing of the Tuesday evenig Lenten services at St. Johns. The largest week-night congregation of tho sea son was present to enjoy the sermon.
 The text was taken from Psalms lxxviii:37: For their heart was not right with him. neither were they steadfast in his covenant"
 Dr deOvies began his sermon by de- scribing the punishment of sin. The Lord, he said, did not observe each one of us and as soon as we happened to transgress write 1t down in His book as If He were running debit and credit account. But 1t was as if father should take his little child into the garden to play and knowing that he would get thirsty by and by should take him to the stream and tell him to drink his fill. Now this stream. he said, was only an ordinary stream with pure water running through it. On the other side of the play ground was a beautiful pond with lilies growing all over 1t and surrounded with flowers. The father would tell the child not to drink of this water under any consideration.
 The child after playing for some time would get thirsty. as the father had anticipated and drink of the stream. Finding how good the water tasted when he was hot and thirsty, the child begins to reason that If the water in the ordinary stream tastes so good, the water in the beautiful pond must give him a great deal more pleasure. So he drinks the wa ter and has typhoid fever in conse- quence. Could the father be blamed for this. The pond, he said. is the pond of earthly desires of which, to drink Is fatal.
 Sin, said Dr. deovies. is the cause of all the trouble in the world. And the cause of the sin is that the heart Is not right with God. All petulance, irritability and Ill temper are caused by sin. If any one should confess all his troubles to someone and try to ascertain the cause deep down in his heart. he would know that 1t was some secret sin To remedy this evil. he said, we should try to get the heart right with God.
 There were many people who went to church and prayed, but prayed to nothing: that they did not know God. The way, he. said, to know God was to know Him through Jesus Christ, and that way was the way to get the heart right with God and would pre- vent all worry as to the after life. As this life was only the training school for the next and better one, the thought of all finite things would fade away into significance, and when some dear one passed away. we would only think that it would be but a little while before we see them again and the sorrow would be al- most entirely abolished.

bonds. Is resident of New Orleans and Pensacola, and for some time past has been somewhat heavily in- terested in Montgomery property. He has. indeed. been member of the brokerage firm that sold the bonds. f He has always had great confidence Tn the future of Montgomery, and it Is largely because of that fact that the city has received so good price for its refunding securities. It Is due to this same faith by a Southern man. in the future of the Southern country and the Southern cities. that Mir. Sullivan, who is a very wealthy man, has invested so heavily in the past in real estate in Montgomery. as we'll as in other cities of the South.
 Details of the Sale.
 The final details of the sale were concluded by Mayor Teague and coun- sel representing the purchasers yes- tertay morning, and, as soon as the money is paid over. the new bonds will be delivered and the old bonds will be destroyed.
 Arrangements were made. and direc- tions therefor were made by the Mayor by letter for the Guaranty Trust Com pany of New York to pay the money over to the Trust Company of America, when the latter will deliver the refund- ing bonds to the Guaranty Company. The transfer will be accompanied by the destruction of the old bonds.
 The bonds were sold by the city at par and accrued interest. The Interest Is to date from January 1, 1907, when the old bonds matured and the refund- ing bonds were effective. to the pres ent time, at the rate of 1-2 per, cent per annum The refunding bonds run for thirty years and are non-taxable.
 It was known several days ago that the real estate firm had practically met with success in consummating the sale. but the consummation of the deal was delayed pending the investigation of the legal phase of the bonds by counsel for the purchaser.
 Concluded Long Negotiations
 The question of selling the bonds has been a source of much worry to the Council and the Mayor and the fact that the deal has been closed will be a relief. Since last September the matter has been foremost in the mind of the Mayor and of the City Council, and has been legfslated upon by the municipal body number of times.
 The council authorized that the bonds should be sold at public auc- tion at the discretion of the mayor. In order to facilitate the operations, Ma yor Teague and Alderman Lobman made a trip to New York Christmas wee z, and entered into several nego- tiations with prominent New York brokers and bankers.

Mental Vacations.

There are some people so hem
med in by an iron environment
and so confined to perpetual hard
work that it is almost impossible
tor them to be long away from
their places of business or their
professions, and yet, though they
are subject 10 rasplng vexatlons
and annoying conditions, such as
would worry some people to shad-
ows, they always seem to to be Sc
rene, fresh and buoyant, because
they have acquired the happy art
of mental refreshment and change
by taking mental vacations.
No matter how trying or exas-
perating their work is, or how
vexatious or annoving the condi-
tions may be about them, when
they get a bit of leisure they can
instantly lift themselves out of
their troubles into a harmonious,
blissful, mental condition which
nothing material canstouch or mar.
They cross oceans and take men.
tai trips into foreign lands which
they have once visited. They
have so educated their magma
tions that they can create new
places, rev worlds, people item
and live i'll them. They can see
beauty that never was on sea or
land, and hear melodies and har-
monies that have never touched
human ears. Many lnyallds have
acquired this art OF refreshment
through mental tours, taking trips
10 beautiful lands that have. never
been seen by material eyes. They
may not be able to go on long va
cations into the country, but they
are able 10 make many mental ex-
cursions there aud to go back to
the old home or farm and re-liVe
their childhood days. Mentally,
they wade and fish in the brooks,
climb the mountains, tramp IN the
forests and meander through the
meadows.
How little we realize what an
inestlmable gift we have in the lm-
aglnation-that ability to fly away
at will from our harasslng, en-
barrassing, poverty.strlcken sur
roundings from things which dis
courage, disgust and annoy, away
from a erasping, grinding, sicken-
ing drudgerY; away from the blues
into a paradise Of joy, into an
ideal world, where harmony and
beauty and truth rein
What luxury this power enables
the poor to enjoy! 1t helps the
prisoner TO fly out of his cell, re-
visit his home aud friends and 90
where he will, unmolested.
1t is said many prisoners become
almost totally unconscious of
their confinement for many hours
at time. People who have writ
ten a great deal IN prison, such as
histories and stories, have for
at a time found their con
finement not very irksome. Iron
bars and cell are powerless to
lmprison the mind. What won.
derful world Bunyan really lived
in while he was in jail. Few are
the people who have had such
