PAY DAYS MAKE
 BESSEMER BUSY
JUNE PROMISES TO GO DOWN AS ONE OF BEST BUSINESS MONTHS OF THE YEAR-NEW EQUIPMENT AT REEDERS.

Bessemer, June 16.-(Special.) )-Four of the largest industries in the district paid their men off yesterday, and the Besse- mer merchants enjoyed an exceptionally fine trade in all lines. There were pays at Dolomite, Sloss mines, Woodward ore mines and Virginia mines. This ends the large pay days for the month, but there will be good many more small ones, and Jl ne promises to go down as one of the best business months of the year. Bessemer fares particularly we'll when Sloss has a pay day, as most of the trad ing of the men employed there is done in this city.
 The merchants report trade for the past week as being very satisfactory, and now that the weather has settled down into real summer. large business will no doubt result
 The Tennessee companys hospital at Feeders mines has recently installed new and modern equipment in all branches. A new operating table has been installed, as has also a powerful X-ray apparatus. a hodern sterilizer, and entire new sets of instruments. The addition of these sur gical appliances now places this hos pital on a footing with any in the en- tire district, and 1t Is doubtful if there is one in the state that is better fitted to take care of the great volume busi- ness than that at Feeders.
 Joe Rosenbush, known to every man, woman and child in Bessemer, had the misfortune this morning to have his arm badly hurt. Joe is the proud possessor of mule that from all accounts is be- tween 60 and 70 years old. Joe and the mule had an argument this morning as to whether the mule would be hitched up or not The result was the mule landed gently on Joe's arm with one poorly shod hoof, and Joe went down and took the count. While the injury Is very painful his recovery will only be a matter of a few days
 The white man named Bell who fell from the trestle of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic some time ago, and was badly injured, Is rapidly recovering and will return to his work within the next few days.

 At first 1t was a most difficult matter for M. Trouget to get his board to run in harness, but by dint of much persever- ance and more whipping 1t was at last brought to doeilty and obedience. Then a specially designed gig was built for it. and the animal was made to draw his master about just like horse.

truth, to forget that the whole Is
greater than the part, and that the
whole body must be fifty framed and

which will at once so cheer and 50
