happy, responsive, well dressed crowd.
betok ening the prosperous and expand
ing condition of the town. The Sterl-
ings seemed to be in tune with the au-
dience and they rendered a fine program
in most creditable manner. The old,
ever popular southern melodies were
sung in chorus during the first half of
the program and the second half was
devoted to solos and a splendid quartet
rendition by the male members of the
company. Nearly every number was
encored and it is just to say that the
applause was merited. If larger part
of lecture courses were made up of
such entertainments as furnished by
the Sterlings they would become i'm
mensely popular. 1t is good to have
something in the way of entertainment
that makes one feel better for several
days following.

NO MORE CHEAP RATES
 FOR TALKING AT NIGHT
Southern Bell Telephone Company is Changing Same Rates at Night
 an in the Daytime.

The officials of the Southern Bell Telephone Company decided some time ago to abolish, the night tariffs for long distance calls, and the order went into effect in the Montgomery office on September 1st.
 Montgomery peope. and people all over the South, will now have to pay the same rates for service over tell ephone line at night as they have been accustomed to do during the day time.
 The Southern Bell Telephone Compa- ny had up to the first of the month a special night rate for calls made over Long Distance after six o'clock With the abolishment of this rate on other important lines, the Southern Bell Company also abolished their special rates.
 1t is said that the reason for this discontinuance of the Light rate Is u tt a great many people waited until night to put in their calls in order to take advantage of the special tolls. and as a consequence the long distance wires for the period at which the night rate was put into operation were con- gested and resulted in the service be- ing unsatisfactory.
 With the new rate, the telephone company expects there, will be more calls put in during the day and that better service will be rendered.
