The Chautauqua Assembly.

HO dOOO Gill GudulduQud
held here last week and ending
Sunday night of this week was a
pronounced success as far as the
popular appreciation is involved.
AS to the financial phase of the
question we are not advised. The
lectures must have cost the local
lodge of Good Templars a stiff sum.
The patronage was not commensu-
rate with the merits of the entertain
ment. Every one of the lectures
was worthy of crowded house.
That the audiences were not larger
is due not to any doubt as to the
merits of the entertainments but
almost exclusively to the situa-
ton. 1t is a time of year when
everybody who is at home is busy,
and these could not conveniently
attend the day meetings. The same
condition interfered with the eve
ming attendance of many. Many
people are away from home. The
schools, which would have largely
reinforced the audiences had the
students and teachers been here,
were not in session, and the weather
was not very inviting for a long
sitting indoors, and another disad-
vantage, which amounted to an an
noyance, was the pest of mosquitoes
in the church in the evening. Yet
at some sessions a good sized audi
ence was present at the lectures
and every one was pleased with
them and appropriated much amuse
ment and profit from them.
We did not have the opportunity
to hear all the lectures and so can
speak of those we did not attend
only from hearsay. Those who at
tended these report that they were
uniformly fine. The lecture of Miss
Lillian Phelps Wednesday evening
was voted one of the best lectures
ever given in the city. The only
criticism heard was that she said
too much in an hour and half.
She should have taken two hours to
express the statements, in order to
give us time to appreciate the merits
of her remarks.
The Philodine Quartet Thursday
evening was excellent. Every one
of the four las a fire voice and the
four sang in harmony. The concert
was one of the most satisfactory
entertainments of the kind ever
given here. The audience was one
of the largest of the week and ex-
pressed it's enjoyment with frequent
applause, demanding repeated en-
cores,
Professor Blain's stereopticon lee
ture Friday evening was good, the
views excellent.
AC 1CCLQlO I'll A4Ol1s " W u4O1 AOo
Saturday evening was one of the
best entertainments of the course.
Mr.. Merica is an orator and his
sentiments about boys was evident
ly the sentiment of the audience
generally.
The Sunday services, the morn
ing in the Congregational church,
the evening in the Methodist, were
attended by large audiences. Mr.
Merica was the central figure in
both of these and sustained the
good opinion he won Saturday
night.
The Good Templars deserve the
good will, thanks and support of
the community for providing such
fine intellectual entertainment.

Birmingham Fans Are Wild
 ODer Ball Season's Approach.

Birmingham, March fo.-(Special.y-- Sporting writers on newspapers in Birmingham are beginning to get busy and are predicting great things for the local team.
 The recent publication of the pie lures of the champions for 1907 on the title page of one of the baseball pub lications in the East has set some of the writers in Birmingham on their edge and while Harry Vaughn, mana ger of the team Is not giving out any boosting talk, the writers are getting in their work right along.
 The fans in Birmingham are siding with the writers here considerably and already much sentiment has been worked up against the New Orleans team. The recent deal whereby Frank gets Harry Mathews, the former catch CT for Birmingham is being talked about as a scheme and articles which intimate that the object of the pur- chase was to ascertain some things about the Birmingham club are being believed in some circles. However, the Birmingham fans are only too anx- ious for the season to start and whether 1t is New Orleans, Shreveport, Montgomery, Memphis, Atlanta or the others the lovers of the sport expect the local aggregation to set strong pace right from the opening or the league season.
 The Birmingham players are now coming in. By the middle of the Several of the players have already started in getting rid of stiff joints and sore arms. Within another week

 TO INCREASE ITS CAPITAL.
Street Railway Of Decaturs Will Max
 ImpraVements

Street Railway of Decaturs Will Make
 Improvements.
 Decatur, March 10.--(Special LA special meeting of the stockholders of the Forth Alabama Traction Company was called in New Decatur yesterday, but owing to the absence of several prominent stockholders the meeting was postponed until the regular annual meeting which takes place within the next few weeks.
 The special meeting was for the pur- pose of considering the matter of in- creasing the capital stock of the com pany from s15O,o00 to s30O,00O.
 This company operate a system of electric street cars in the Decaturs, reaching every section of the two cit- les.
 The records in the City Clerks office in New Decatur show how that city has increased in size during the past three years.
 Three years ago the amount of fines collected by the police court was only S375. Last year the fines collected amounted to over $6,000. Three years ago that city collected only $735 in street tax. Last year the amount of this tax collected was nearly S3,000. Three years ago the total revenue of New Decatur was $8,375. Last year the total was over $40,000.
 During the past three years New De- catur has built @ city hall, worth over $s,O00. A city jail worth, pernaps $z,- spent in buying tools for street work. A considerable amount of money has also been spent on the fire department and much street work has been done and many brick and cement sidewalks built

RaiIroad to Coosa County.

Time and again attention has been called in The Advertiser to the necess- ity a road from this city to points directly north and northeast. The question of a railroad from Rockford, Coosa County, to a point on the Central of Georgia line from Columbus to Bir- mtngham is now agitated.
 The Rockofrd Argus says:
 "A Mobile company has recently p--rchased the holding of timber in this immediate section owned by a Maryland syndicate, and has had an agent here, in the person of Fl. Ross Rogers taking options on all the timber he could purchase, which amounts to many thousand acres and since valuable holdings have been se- cured, the queseion has confronted the purchasers as how can they place their timber on the market before the op- tions expire.
 Where there is plenty of capital most any ordinary article can be re- moved and in this case 1t is as plain as a book.
 MT. Rogers informs The Argus that horseback survey has been made from Rockford to the Central of Geor- gia road, the route leaving Hissop to the right about one-half or three quarters of a mile thence up Jack Creek and onward to the Central rial road a little 0ger two miles east of Kelleyton. and 9The Argus is inform ed that the road might make it's start ing point at Alexander City then build from there diFect to Rockford"
 Montgomery would do we'll to get interested in this mater.

STOMACH TROUBLE
CURED WITHOUT DRUGS.
Letter Published by Request of Our Well Known Druggist, E. c. Fow- Ter.


 To the Editor: Believing that the people of Montgomery will be interest," ed in cures by such simple remedy. we ask you to publish the following for the good it may do others.
 MT. Thomas c. Wallace. of Detroit. Mich. writes: After having suffered with a severe stomach trouble for years and trying medicines and doctors without any benefit whatever, l com menced to take Vinol. and am pleas ed to state that 1t has entirely cured me, given me hearty appetite, and am stronger and in better health than I have been for years"
 MT. E. G. Fowler, our local druggist. in referring to Vinol said: You see Vinol contains all of the healing and strength creating clements of cod liver oil, but without drop of useless oil to upset the stomach and retard It's work, and tonic iron added.
 Very few people who suffer with stomach trouble can take other forms of cod liver oil and emulsions or six ening drugs. but Vinol strengthens and tones up the weakened nerves of the digestive organs and enables the sufferer to digest with ease the very foods that once cnused distress.

considerable ball tossing will have been seen. The team will be here in full by the end of the week. Harry Vaughn still abstains from making a boast beyond saying. T think have a better team than last season." Pres ident Baugh is open in his expression that the indications are that the team this year will be stronger than last inasmuch as a few weak spots have been improved and there should be great sport put up.
 It is learned that Vaughn has his eye on two or three other players in case his expectations are not come up to by those who have been sent rail- road tickets and are now arriving on every train. The spring practice will be on byi next week for a certainty. The baseball grounds here have been improved a little. Every indication is that the patronage in Birmingham the coming season will be better than last year.
 Four-fifths of the fans in Birming- ham who are making themselves heard are expressing a wish that New Orleans be defeated good and strong. There is much sentiment here against the Crescent City team and it is all most a certainty that every visit to this place by Franks aggregation will mean real hot old time"

 The committee which was appoint ed at the last meeting to investigate the attempt to bribe a member of the council will make no report. The com- mittee has not investigated this mat ter yet as they have been waiting until City Attorney Young gets well.
