Watch out for cotton in the biscuit Don't be surprised if the sugar bowl contains sand instead of sugar. Think the second time before answering the ring of the door bell. Be careful and be not surprised. no matter what happens, for this Is April Fools Day.
 It is a day to delight the hearts of Foxy Grandpa and the Kids. Serious ness for the once Is cast entirely aside for buffoonery. The Jester wears the crown and sits upon the throne. For this one day in all the year he relgns supreme, and to him the worlds cour- tiers pay homage With bells jingling' laughter ringing, and all the merry followers singing. the fool will rule
 Many the jokes that will be played upon the unsophistlcated in Montgom- ones will take offense. no matter if the dignity is a bit ruffied and one made to feel for the time just bit silly. Get even by playing the same trick on the next man. and enjoy his discontinue as he did yours. Most or us are altogether too dignified any way and take ourselves much too se- riously. There is a place for the Jes- fer as well as for the stoic. for Touch stone as well as Melancholy Jacques
 All Fools Day is thought to be rellc from some old heather festival. The custom, whatever be It's origin oi piay- ing little tricks on this day, whereby ridicule may be fixed upon unguarded individuals. appears to be universal throughout Europe. In France one thus imposed on is called un poisson davrll "a fish. In England such person 's Gowk is the Scotch TOT the cuckoo and also signifies a foolish person
 The favorite jest in England Is to send one on an errand for something

LETTER FROM LIEUT.. SMITH.
Montgomery Boy in Philippines Tel
 of Alabamians There.

Montgomery Boy In Philippines Tells
 of Alabamians There.
 Lieutenant Holland Smith, who Is now in the Philippines, has written a very interesting letter to his mother. in which he mentions some of the Ala bama boys who are in the Philippines with him.
 Lieutenant Smith was one of the best known and popular young men in the city and the success which Is attendin s his career in the Philippines will cause much pleasure to his many friends in Montgomery. Lieutenant Smith has now been transferred from the line to the staff.
 In his letter. Lieutenant Smith mem tions several of the Alabama boys who are in this far-of country with hlm. am lng whom he especially mentions Courtney Hickson of Union Springs, whom. he says, Is the hardest worked mother. Lieutenant Smith says, Tell papa that Courtney dickson tries more cases in one week than he used to try in one year"
 Lieutenant Smith writes that he had long conversation at Cavite some days ago with J. $. NJ. Curry. the son of Manly Curry. MT. Curry Is now major paymaster in the army.
 Among the many honors that have come to Lieutenant Smith, the one thai seems to have made him the proudest Is the fact that he has been made manager of the baseball team. and he writes that he Is trying to keep up the reputation of the capital base ball team. which won the pennant when he was on the team some years ago.

Cloudy, damp, cold and slightly driz- zling, Easter day dawned, and the hearts of many of the fair sex were heavy within them.
 However, though the weather was so indictment and wraps and overceats were the order of the day, when one entered the churches and saw the beau tiful flowers that adorned the altars, and which were massed in great clus- ters in the windows, and then heard the wonderful Easter anthems and hymns of hope and joy, with the prom ise of future blessings, the day. with it's clouds and rain, was forgotten, and all hearts were merged in the peace and harmony of the Eastertide.
 The decoration of the churches in Montgomery was one of the most beau tiful sights that one could hope to see in many a day. Masses of Easter lilies were artistically arranged over the altars, and crowned the heads of the figures of the angels The windows of some of the churches were banked

 Large Memberships.
 The work of the Young Mems Chris tian Association in the new building is rapidly assuming shape. over 100 new members have Joined the Association in the past two weeks. and the gymna- sium classes are growing larger each night.
 The business mems gymnasium class began it's work Friday night with a good attendance This class is much enjoyed by the business men in the membership of the Association. as 1t affords delightful recreation, as well as much needed exercise under the direc- tion of an expert instructor
 The swimming pool and the shower baths prove a most attractive feature. The water Is the pool varies from 3 1-2 feet to 8 feet in depth, and Is so clear that a pin may be seen on the bottom in any part of the pool. The physical director will give special fn- structions in swimming.
 All but three of the nineteen dormi- tries have been rented, and these remaining rooms will probably be rent ed the first of the week. as these are most attractive quarters for young men living away from home. The Ladies Auxiliary. of which Mrs. c. H. McCombs is President. has been ac- lively engaged in furnishing these rooms, and neither effort nor expense has been spared in making them home like and attractive.

FOR GUARANTY FUND
| COMMITTEE OF COMMERCIAL CLUB | NOT YET NAMED.
Business Not Required By New Indus- trial Plan to Put Up Dollar, But Merely to Lend Their
 Namea.

President Forbes, of the Commercial Club has not yet appointed the ten men to formulate definite plans and to secure the guaranty fund of $25O,0OO ' to bring new industrial enterprises to Montgomery. The movement is in ac- cordance with a resolution. introduced at the last meeting of the Commercial Club by the Manufacturing Committee to the effect that such committee should be appointed to secure the CO., operation of the business men of Mont l gomery to induce manufacturing en- terprises to locate here.
 The suggestion of Chairman Cody met with hearty approval and the only reason the committee has not yet been appointed Is because President Forbes wants to be sure to secure the strong l est and most influential men on this committee, as the movement is consid- | cred to be one of vital importance to the future of Montgomery.
 T am asking only representative business men to serve" said MT. Forbes. "The men whom I shall select are those whose names will carry weight and with them cooperation with their efforts and endorsement, the fight is half won"
 Mir. Cody said he was not sure that the business men of the city fully un-
 
 CTS to the fund of $250,000 is required to put up a dollar in cash, but arc simply requested to endorse the move ment by subscribing for a certain amount of the fund, agreeing thereby, to stand good for their pro rata of any loss sustained in extending credit to enterprises which desire to locate Tn Montgomery.
 The financial standing of any manu- featuring enterprise desiring to locate here will be carefully investigated bx three trustees to be elected before any credit will he extended and the probability of any loss by subscribers to this fund is quite remote
 MT. Cody has taken considerable trouble to look into the matter and in a report which he received from Wil- Transport. Pa, 1t Is shown that the city established a guaranty fund of $2lS,- 900 in 1900 with ninety-niue subscrib- CTS. This continued until 1905. when the fund was increased to $46l .OO0 with eighty-eight subscribers. Dur ing the five years from 1901 to 1906. the increase in capital In industries was over seventy seven per cent. and the increase in bank deposits over s3.- 100000 "

 tue Bright Hope Of Easter Day

with roses and on each was hung a design of roses, such as crosses and wreaths. In others. ferns of all kinds beautified the chancel and extended al- most to the ceiling. In another still, branches of evergreen, roses and lilies were used to advantage in the effort to make everything accord with the spirit of the day.
 Special music was arranged for the occasion by the choirmasters of the different churches, and when the male and female voices rang out. accompa- nied by the mellow strain of the im- mense pipe organs the effect was won derfully impressive.
 The sermon preached bv the differ ent pastors of the churches were all appropriate to the occasion. and added in each case some message of hope to the general message of the day.
 All in all, the Easter of this year was not the the disappointment that might have been expected from the outlook when the day dawned.

OLD FORCES FIGHTING.
Dispensary And AntI-Oispensary PeO
 pIe in City Campaign.

Dispensary And Anti -Oispensary PeO-
 pIe in Caty Campaign.
 Huntsville, March 31,-(Special)- )- Huntsville will elect mayor on Tues day
 The campaign will be closed Mon- day night with rallies of both fac tions and the campaign will go down in history as one of the most interest ing ever held here.
 The two candidates are R. F. Smith an attorney who was a candidate fol the State Legislature on the anti-dis- pensary ticket. and Paul Speake. who was judge of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit. The dispensary forces that won in the county election last Au- gust have lined up behind speake and they have nominated a full ticket of aldermen. Smith Is personally popu- lar. has a considerable following among all classes and is backed solidly by the administration.
 The dispensary issue, although il

will lie quiescent for four years. has been used In this campaign for all that 1t is worth and there has been . considerable amount of bitterness in the fifht between the two old factions. Both sides express confidence in the result. Half of the members of the city council retain their seats for two to elect the mayor or one other alder men to retain control of the city af- fairs.
 Constable James overton made four arrests of alleged bootleggers last night and as result of his evening 8 operations, Pinkie Weaver. proprietress of resort fin the West End. J. R. Fears. former constable in Dallas Vil- lage, Ed Grubbs. timer, and Alex sweeney. negro, are tn jail in default of bonds ranging from to four thous- and dollars
 The Weaver woman, 1t Is claimed. has been selling beer at her resort and has done land office business. When she was arrested she was in the act of icing several dozen bottles. Four charges were made against her and she was committed to jail in default of s4.000 bond. Fears was arrested on the street and four charges were made against him. His bond was fixed at s1.000 in each case. Ed Grubbs and the negro were also arres.ed on the against them.
 Constable Overton and officers of the dispensary and one of the local news papers openly charge that city and county officials are winking at the blind tiger and bootlegging business and they say that an immense traffic of this kind Is being carried on here. Despite the alleged negligence in some quarters. 1t is intimated that the busi- ness will be broken up.
 The lid is being put on the town good and> tight and 1t is not believed that the clubs of the city will be all lowed to run much longer without an inspection of their premises by off cers in search of liquors.
