COULD NOT STAND
 LOSS OF HER DOLLY
LITTLE GIRL WAS HERSELF LOST, BUT TEARS DID NOT COME LIN. TIL DOLLY FELL AND WAS BROKEN.

The little girl with her deep blue eyes, ''lookin' lak a rose" clutching to her breast a dolly that closed it's lids and cried Mama" ]" stood on Parker's corner.
 So pretty was the 3-year-old tot that passersby noticed and touched its head and smiled. And still she stood, saying nothing. with a wondering expression on her face and her big eyes telling the story that she was lost.
 So closely the little one kept her secret, however that it was only toward the falling of evening that she was ques- toned Then, sure enough, she was lost. She had become separated from her mother, had walked several blocks until she reached Parkers corner, and there she stood still-lost. The little girl could not tell her mothers name, nor where she lived, other than ''ober dere,' to which indefinite region she pointed chubby finger. But she was not afraid, and after some moments of conversation with several gentlemen, in which time they had treated" she smiled bravely and contentedly.
 Mrs Gus Blake, living near Mountain Terrace, was neariy frantic Tn the clly yesterday afternoon, when, after missing her little Dorothy, an hours search failed to find her. Up and down the streets she paced and strangers, becoming interested, extended the search to all sections of the city. The young father, having been telephoned, joined the mother, both searching and questioning, Then all at once they came across a number of men on Parker's corner, and to them all the little Dorothy was chatting, smiling and cooing. The mother soon had the little girl in her arms, and everyone stood near, smiling over the scene Of happiness.
 But just then occurred a calamity. The mother was holding the child so closely that little Dorothy could not firmly grasp the dolly. There was fall, and a smash, the smile dying away from the dolls face, and both it's eyes rolling on the pave menE Then the little girl, who had braved the pangs of loneliness in great city burst into tears, and the fathers s promise to buy another dolly was no solace. Dorothy was still weeping aloud as the car moved of. But the disfigured baby was still in her arms.

Turkey day rolls around next Thursday. and the large gawky birds are beginning to migrate to Birmingham preparatory to their appearance upon the festive board surrounded by bank of oyster dressing topped off with a nice thick layer of cranberry sauce.

them are willing to run the risk of being overstocked, and as a result the stock on hand this year will be none too large
 The reigning price is from 15 to II cents per pound for the live fellows. and 20 cents per pound for the ones with their heads chopped off and feathers plucked.
 The live ones evidently realize their im- pending doom, for sad look has come into their eyes, and even their ''gobble, gobble'' has the resemblance of a funeral note. as they stamp about from one foot to the other behind their prison bars But with 1t all they seem to know they will die noble death-a martyr to the appetite of the American people.

 Norwood Case Comes Up.
 F. w Dixon cottonwood, told of the assessment troubles of that locality but did not know of anything definite in the way of graft or influence being brought to bear on the aldermen. Walter Moore and MT. Stockmar were asked the usual questions relative to their having any suspicion of graft, to which they re- piled in the negative. Alderman Stock mar and Estes had a lively tilt. Both are from the Ninth ward and MT. Stock mar jokingly affirmed that some one had been elected on the claim that he would do something which MT. Stockmar had been trying to do for six years.
 Alderman Hogan on cross-question. said that T. H. Spencer, a contractor, told him that Birmingham was paying 80 cents too much for her pavement. AL derman Hedt knew nothing which would throw any light on the investigation.
 Besides the evidence already credited to MT. Motion, he narrated the history of the Kentucky Rock Asphalt pave ment, which was laid in his neighbor- hood. and which he thought both cheaper and better for residence streets, but not good for business traffic.
 Street Commissioner McCartin said he had heard F. w. Dixon discuss the prob ability of some aldermen being stock holders, but he had no knowledge of any connection, or any graft whatever in the way of rebates or influence between the city officials and the company.
 Messrs F>llenwider and Beatty narrated the Norwood and Twenty-eighth street history, showing that the Birmingham Realty company owned a majority of the footage on the contract. Mir. Beatty said the company had tried Kentucky Rock asphalt but it had washed up, and that they had searched but never found better pavement nor a cheaper one than bituminous macadam.
 The committee adjourned to meet next Friday night.

Buggy of H. K. Jones Badly Damaged
 By Negro Driver.

H. K. Jones had his buggy badly bunged up and a negro boy driving a wagon belonging to the Crittendon Gro cery company received several bruises when the mule hitched to the wagon slipped and fell, throwing the wagon over on the buggy yesterday. Jones was driv- ing along Nineteenth street when the grocery wagon came dashing around the corner from Morris avenue.
 The negro boy attempted to stop the mule, jerking him back so hard that he threw the animal to the ground. The wagon veered around and fell over on it's side, landing on Jones' buggy, while the negro went flying through the air and landed sprawling on the ground. Jones in the meantime had made haste to get out of his buggy, and went for the negro with blood in his eye. The negro was stunned so that 1t required him several minutes to arise and Jones had mercy Matters were finally straight ened out and both vehicles proceeded on their way. The buggy driven by Jones was new one and the scratches 1t re- c.ived damaged 1t badly.
