Banks Seem Pleased.

Banks Seem Pleased. Business in this city seems to De so- ing along at the usual rate. There has been a good deal of scrip issued within the past few days, but the mer- chants seem inclined to take care Of it. The laborers seemed to have ar rived at the conclusion that their scrip is good for just the amount of money that they call for and 1t not supposed that there will be very much scrip bought up at discount In this city on Saturday. Saturday will be one of the largest pay days of the month, and at that time there will be something like $100,000 worth of scrip and cashiers oh ecks turned loose in the city. The merchants in every line are look ing forward to a good business on Sat urday, and while business will not be quite as good as 1t would have been had not the financial trouble come, still there is every reason to believe that after the days business Is over the merchants will find that there is not very much difference in the sales Confidence In the banks seems to be absolute and there is not the feeling of uneasiness apparent that there was several days ago. The banks have re- duced the withdrawal of funds on de- posit from $25 per day to s2b per week, ana it is thought that by this means the banks will be in position to handle the business In a much more satis- factory manner
 The method adopted by the banks in this city was taken in accordance with the action of the banks of Birmingham. Personal and General. G. E. Chambers of Birmingham, rep resenting the Monarch Typewriter company was in the city this alter noon on business connected with the firm.

Fires and Noise.

An alarm was sent into the fire de- partment this evening about o'clock, but no one seemed able to tell just where the fire was. One man said it was on Carolina avenue, and still an other said 1t was Clarendon avenue. Just to show everyone in the city that they were on to their job and knew all the time Just what they were doing the fire department nobly responded and went around to every corner in the fire limit. Old Joe Spechitz was driv- ing the Dug" wagon and he pulled off several stunts that caused the popu- lace to sit up and take notice. Some time ago some person filed q petition to the city council in which they stated that they thought Joe was too old for active duty and for that reason they would like to have him put on the pension list. The members of the eoun- eil made reply and stated that they had enough pensioners at present and they were under the impression that Joe could do q few more years work with out breaking down, and they wanted to give him chance. That's the req son Joe turned out in such fine style this evening. He waited for no one and after he had good start it was found impossible to stop him. He drove and he kept driving. lHe finally wound up in South Bessemer. and after a good deal of telephoning he was per- suaded that the fire was in the city proper. He made few choice re- marks in the Swedish language and then he proceeded to go to the scene of the fire. He finally induced the wagon to turn up on Carolina avenue and there he found the ire. IL was simply a case of fue burning out. He drove the wagon slap over Mike Ko- mano, and then he found that business was strictly on the bum. Poor Mikes

TO BE A CELEBRATION
Little Falls Will Fittinely
Observe the Day OF
Independence,

Little Falls will celebrate on the
Fourth. Enough funds have been
secured to assure proper Observance
Of the day. Although the time is
short, the different committees to be
appointed will Immediately 70 to
work to make this year celebration
one of the best ever held in tho city.
It would be of no particular
credit to Little Falls not to have a
Fourth of July celebration. Without
what that day means, tho wealth and
prosperity of many would never have
been, and there would not be the op.
portunity which SO many have had to
succeed IN free land, to escape
militarism, to be free from oppression,
and to rule themselves. The Herald
very strongly believes that funds for
celebrating the Fourth Of July and
Memorial day. if not slso other days,
should be provided for in tho city s
tax levy, and thus make the entire tax
paying body pay for that which
makes their property rights secure.
1t r i'll be a very sorry day for
Ar :: ics wher the Fourth Of July is
like other days.

then take the child that needs the

Now take the piece of siding IN the
