Special to The Herald.
TOWN CREEK, Ala, July 25.-Presi-
dents have come and presidents have
gone, but the great question that has
been uppermost in Town Creek for gene
rations has not been solved. There is
hope now, however. that it will be, and
some citizens are already practicing writ
ing Teddyville as their home address.
Long ago some pioneer who had no inn
agination, fixed upon Town Creek as the
name of the future metropolitan city of
Lawrence county, Alabama. Nobody
changed 1t in time and 1t sticks. Hence
an air of scorn that has been assumed by
the citizens of Tuscumbia, who have al
ways said proudly that nobody could mis-
take whether they were talking of town
or stream when the name of their home
was mentioned. This spirit has spread
also to Yocum, Mehama, Igoburg, Oplee,
Basham, Pebble. Tavern, Notes, Step,
Brick and Arctic while the attitude of
the Progress people has been unbearable.
Lots of times there have been PROPOSE
lions to change the name. Leading citi-
zens have pointed out that town that
has a schoolhouse, two churches and a
railroad running through 1t should not be
looked down upon. Everybody agreed as
to that, but nobody was able to rally a
sufficient following for his particular
name.
Last week some of ale good housewives
of the town gave an inspiration to the
leading citizens that is likely to solve the
whole problem. Five sets of twins and
three sets of triplets were born in that
time Now a campaign is under way to
have the town called after the president.

Portland expositions, red hot sport and

come back to Venice from jamestown,
where he went in response to the urgent
appeal of the emperor, who was afraid
the Japanese display at the big fair
would be all to the tabasco if "Kusee,"
as his intimate friends here~called him,
was not on hand to direct the works.
In his haste to get to the Japanese
seat of management at the show, Kush
ibflxi forgot to take up divers obligations
which he had assumed during his two
years connection with the European ex-
position here, and this neglect on his
part is sails to be causing serious trouble
in many quarters. =
Judgment against the absent Japanese
was obtained yesterday in the superior
court by the Bank of Venice in the sum
of s9S1s43. Collateral consisting of orr
entail goods at the local exposition build
ing will be auctioned off Saturday to
satisfy the claim, but that the security
is far insufficient to meet the note is
said to be highly probable.
There are others who are mourning
Kushibikps absence and who have no
hope of ever realizing anything from
him.
Before his departure for Jamestown
about four months ago. Kushibki awed

Chief Favour's plan is to increase the

ten districts having thirty-two patrol
boxes. each accessible to at least two OF

ten districts. Within these districts 1t is
planned to have foot patrolmen at night

of the cities reporting they get from ssOo
