Jones & Laughlin, OF Pittsburg, one
Of the largest mining and furnace firms
in the country, have purchased the
option and complete plant Of buildings,
machinery. etc, OF Geo. A. 81. Clair
at the "Dickie' exploration on the
south half OF the southwest quarter Of
Section "a, 4O-i7, about four miles
directly west Of this city, and will take
charge Of the exploratory work there
about Nov. ist. Jones a. Laughlin sent
an expert mining engineer here two
weeks ago TO verify analyses Of the ore
in the Dickie shaft and 10 thoroughly
examine the property, and IL was upon
the favorable report OF the engineer
that they acquired the exploration II
is understood that under the new man
agement the "Dickie' shaft, which is
now down about 100 feet In low grade
ore. will be sunk at least 800 feet. at
which depth diamond drill will be
set az work. Considerable drifting and
cross cutting will also be done, with

HINTS FOR FARMERS
RAD Weed Valuable as Hay.

The value OF rag weed as n fodder
for cattle was discovered In n very
simple way. writes correspondent OF
Farm Progress. farmer had just
cut fine lot OF timothy hay and had
hauled K TO his hay yard aud stacked
It. The same day he had ordered his
hands TO bring In a load OF rag weed
which instead Of throwing away. as
usual. he wished 10 use rs bedding FOR
his dairy cattle, which he was prepar.
ing TO exhibit az fair.
The rag weed was dumped near the
haystack. The cows were driven into
the hay yard and left FOR awhile 70
shift for themselves. the stack OF hay
being considered sufficient feed FOR the
time being
When the farmer returned the next
day he got the surprise OF his life. The
first thing he noticed was that the hay.
stack was standing untouched. When
he turned around he got another shock.
The pile OF rag weed had vanished
The COWS would not touch the hay IN
I'll they had eaten every shred OF the
rag weed
Using rag weed hay as winter ra.
tion for cattle has been found highly
successful by many farmers IN Mis-.
souri,, and there is reason TO believe
that II viii become just as popular IN
other states.

BUYING a Boar.


If we were TO give little advice

III you have a good breeder OF pure

early In the season, pick out one OF
his good pigs-a pig that Will correct
the principal weakness In your sows-
and then ask him for his best price.
or course there are breeders whose
reputation places them beyond the

stock. but we are speaking OF the
ordinary breeder OF pure bred hogs.

SOME MILITIA TO GO
ADJUTANT GENERAL WINS HIS
 POINT AT WASHINGTON.
War Department Agrees To Arrange Matters, If Possible, So Some of
 Alabama Guard May Particl- pate in Drills.

The War Department or the Federal government at Washington will endeav- or to find place during the drills of the United States Coast Artillery this sum- mer for companies of the Alabama Ma ttonal Guard The department, which at first declined to entertain plans con- templating the participation by the States troops has advised that 1t will make an effort to take some of the Ala bama troops to Florida during July.
 The difficulty met by the Department was the lack of accommodations. Gen eral Murray, Chief of Artillery com- municated to Governor Conner that 1t would be impossible for him to permit any of the troops to take part in coast defense practice because of the damage done to Fort Morgan by the hurricane of last September.
 AdJutant General Bibb Graves, of the Alabama National Guard, then wrote to the War Department the following let. ter. in response to which the Depart ment communicated its intention of making place. if possible, for a portion of the States troops:
 "Tn your letter of March 15 to the Governor. you say that it is impractic- able to invite the National Guard of Alabama to take p~rt in coast defense problems owing to the fact that Fort Morgan was so damaged by the severe storms, etc.
 We have the honor to insist that the Alabama National Guard should not be debarred from participation in these problems because of the providential occurrences with which we have noth- ing to do. and most respectfully ask that we be allowed to take part of our organization to the next nearest place.
 "Tn case of an emergency, we would be called to defend such fortifications. and we ought to be permitted to have a portion of our guard in such exercises. I trust this can be done"

 striking simile, although little far-fetched that applies to the worth of the fanciful fairyesque, "The Gin- gerbread Man," is that it is as near perfection as the gingerbread that mother used to make" It is a great big musical show that gladdens the heart and delights the eye. The flavor of Merry Christmas pervades every line of the dialogue and every stage picture. Kris Kringle and his rein deers, Jack Horner and his plum, Mar sery Daw. Simple Simon and his nursery rhymes and 3ingles, Wondrous Wise, Sally Lunn, and many others of the mythical land of Santa Claus, are friends with whom we feel acquaint- ed, and of whose adventures we have always been interested. The Ginger bread Man" is succession of beauti- full pictures, song hits, pretty girls, and wonderful mechanical and cleo trical effects.

STATE REPOSITORIES
EVERY COUNTY BUT FOUR OR FIVE
 CONTAINS ONE.
Any Future Designations Because Df Changes will Re Made So Far
 as S'Ossible In Counties
 Not Now Represented.

With 13s banks designated as de- positories of States funds, every County of Alabama. except four or five, contains at least one depository, and changes which may occur from time to time in the future will doubtless be used to supply deficiencies how neces- sarily existent in the counties from which no banks have qualified.
 In making effective the law which provides for the placing of the moneys of the State in banks designated as Repositories, the officers of the State endeavored to have a depository in each County. but this was not always possible so there are now a few coun- ties having no institution designated as an official recipient of the public funds. In case other banks have to be added to the list of those already selected, these new Repositories will be chosen as far as possible from the counties not now represented.
 A majority of the. Repositories are stipulated to carry on deposit for the State not more than s1o.000 each. The First National Bank of Birmingham has the largest allowed deposit. $150,- 900. The First National Bank of Montgomery and the Fourth National Bank of Montgomery are each desig- mated to carry maximum of $10O,000.
