AGE-HERALD REVIEW

Montgomery Journal: The Birmingham Age-Herald's 1907 annual industrial issue, published during the past week, was a splendid newspaper, but better still, splendid advertisement for the Birmlng- ham district. The Journal desires to con- graduate MT D. w. Barrett. editor and general manager of The Birmingham Age Herald, on the talent and enterprise shown in the industrial rev'ew of the city and district. The edition Is composed of many pages of carefully compiled history of the industries of its city and section and it makes a most marvellous showing for the development and growing pros perity of that section of Alabama. It was graphic in summing up what has been done in a decade in the development of Alabamas mineral region, and while The Age-Herald did not contain a full list perhaps less than half of the industries in its columns, it's list, and the capital in- vested in them was staggering to those who have not been able to keep up with what is going on right here, around and about us. This was the tenth anniversary review of The Age Herald, and It was one of the most creditable it has yet pub lished. It says that the Birmingham dis triet Is enjoying unprecedented prosperity and after reading the annual review we are inclined to agree with it.
 Wall Street Summary: Our esteemed contemporary, The Birmingham Age Herald. has just issued Its annual in- dustrial review, in which mention is made of the progress visible in Alabama, par ticularly in Birmingham, during the past year To do justice to Its subject twenty four pages, each of four columns, were requisite, and as an Illustration of the great awakening in industry, commerce and finance, universally true of the south land, The Age -Herafd's contribution leaves little to be desired.
 Montgomery Advertiser: The annual in- dustrlal review edition of The Blrmng- ham Age-Herald is a very valuable com pilation of the great things that have been done in the mineral district of Ala bama. It shows up in fine style what Birmingham was, Is, and Is to be.
 Bessemer Rustler: The industrial edition of The Age-Herald was truly a gem It Is a paper worthy of keeping on file for future reference

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. Sweet gumdrop days,s how much we
 long
 To be a child once more And frolie up and down the lane
 As in the days of yore. Then we could eat most anything,
 From sauer kraut to cake, And ali we had to fear in life
 Was tooth and stpmach ache.
 'I long to get away from it all," said Witherbee, with a sad, dejected air. I'm tired of the eternal grind, tired of my friends, tired of life. Give me sylvan shades and bosky dells! Give me nature!"
 Witherbee went away. To be exact, tho spot he chose was thousand miles from nowhere. The first night there were "skeeters." The next day he missed his morning paper and lost his appetite No busy buzz fan cooled his fevered brow, the nearest mint julep was twenty miles away and the thermometer-well, it was hot. He couldn't read, if he went out of doors there was danger of sunstroke, so he sat in a ragged hammock and bat tied with the flies.
 Thus one day passed The second was worse. No excitement, no baseball no rushing after trolley cars, no dodging au- tomobiles, no hum and chatter and racket; nobody to talk to, nothing to see, noth- ing to think about and nothing to do
 It was the third day. Witherbee packed up. 'I want to get back to 1t all," he said.
