Help the Editor.

An editor puts forth this plea: "My
friend, help the editor in his wide
eyed search for news. When your
friends come to visit you, if you are
ashamed of it, tell him; when your
wife gives tea party, if you will have
recovered from the effects of the gossip,
drop in with the news; when baby ar
rives fill your pockets with cigars
and call; if you go to party, steal
some of the good things and leave
'em with the item in our sanctum. If
your wife licks you, come and let us
see your scars and tender sympathy
through the paper. If your mother-in-
law has died, don't be bashful about it,
give in all the common place news. In
short, whatever makes you feel proud,
sad, lonesome or glad submit it to our
twentyfour carat wisdom and our mat
ted locks part and stand up on end
with gratitude, which will pour from
every pore with moisture from dew
besprinkled earth"

ENJOYABLE EVENING.

Hon. B. w. Green approaching the
fact that we poor men have been woe
fully neglected by the fair sex-in fact
nubbed-resented the slight and in
vited his gentlemen friends, or at least
about thirty of them, to be his guests
Saturday, from eight until midnight
To say the occasion was admirably ar
ranged would be putting it mildly.
The Judge, aided by his estimable wife
and niece, planned we'll and after few
games of the Judges favorite-pedro-
all partook of one of the most elabor-
ate course dinners we have tackled in
long time. The occasion is one long
to be thought of. Mrs. Green's wide
reputation for substantial, as we'll as
palatable cooking, has not waned a
little bit. We wish the Judge might
have birthday four times year and
be sure to remember us. At mid night

STREET CARS COLLIDE.
Several Passengers Are Hurt at
 Montgomery.

Montgomery, October -(SpeciaD-With a crash, two cars, one of the Belt and the other of the Electric park line, met in head-on collision on the switch on Commerce street, near Bibb, at 10 o'clock this morning.
 Rushing through switch, which had been left open, the Belt line car, going toward Court square, met the other, which was running toward the depot, both were full of passengers, and 1t is miracu- lous that more serious injury was not in- hicted.
 w. E. Perry was cut about the face and head
 A negro woman. name unknown. was bruised and injured to such an extent that a conveyance was necessary for her to get away from the scene.
 A Mrs. Champion and child were bruised to a great extent.
 Two little girls of Mrs. J. D. Coins aged about and 6 years. were slightly bruised and cut.
 A strange fact of the accident was that the injured parties were passengers of tn, Belt line car, while those aboard the Electric park car were uninJured. Likewise the former was damaged to great extent, while the latter was only scratched anc was able to continue it's run. The crews of the cars. J V. Bailey and J. C. Johnston of the Electric parl and C. D. Hornsby and H. A. Thomp son of the Belt line were arrested b, officers Bush and Jordan. They made bond for their appearance this afternoon however, and were released.

CELEBRATES HIS
 100 ANNIVERSARY
CHARLES SHEPPARD IS IN GOOD HEALTH AND JOLLY AT HIS CENTURY MILE POST-WANT FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

Eufaula, October 7-(Special.) )-Charles Sheppard, for many years a well-known citizen of the county but who now re- sides near Dothan celebrated his one hundredth anniversary with a dinner at the home of his brother, Henry Sheppard, at Blue Springs one day last week. Al though quite feeble the old gentleman en- joys good health and chats pleasantly with his friends. His eyesght is so dimmed from age that he can only discern objects, but he managed to stroll about his home unaided and has promise of other anniversaries. MT. Sheppard fought through the Indian and ci .Jl wars, and although he was beyond the age limit at the time of the latter he volunteered and bore the reputation of brave anu fearless soldier. He has d living son 15 years old, and in explaining his gener- ations, he remarked that he could ex- claim: Daughter aNlSe and go tell your daughter that her daughter has a daugh- ter. He attributes his longevity prin- cipally to his activity and hardness dur ing his young manhood and his abstinence from intoxicating drinks. He delights jn renumbering his various log rolling ex- periences, and how he pulled down the strongest men and seems perfectly fla miliar with the principal incidents of his young manhood.
 Mrs. w. c. Oats of Montgomery has been called here by the serious illness of her brother, T. w. Toney, whose con1i- ton was regarded extremely critical yes terday. His condition today is somewhat improved.
 It has been learned that effort Is on foot to secure a free mail delivery in the city It is believed that the increased patronage of the postoffice will warrant such action on the part of the officials. President Van Hoose of the Brenau is the prime mover and is actuated by the increased matrculation of the institution and the great amount of mail matter that it furnishes. Citizens feel sure that his efforts will be crowned with success.
 The military band is practlcing for d sacred concert which it will render at the Chautauqua theatre here within about two weeks. The programme has been ar ranged and will be announced during the week The Rev. M. B. Wharton has con- scented to make an address and all of the ministers of the city will participate The music has been arranged by the in- structor and will embrace a trumpet solo by E. D. Corker, and other beautiful nug- bers by all of the members. The clos ing feature will be America" which will be played by the band and sung by the entire audience.
 Judge w. H. Pruett has returned from Midway, where he went to be present at the obsequies of his brother, Sam Pruett.
 The baby show, held here by the ladies of St. James Episcopal church, was q de- cided success and a nice sum was re- alized. which will go to swell the building fund of the proposed new church. The prizes for the infants in long clothes were awarded to Dr. Britt's little son and R. A. Ballowe's little daughter. and for those In short clothes Little Mary Brown and Bertram Hoole Brown were the winners.

EMERY STEEL COMPANY
May Be Put in Operation About
 October 20.

IIadsden, october 7.-tSpecial)-I has been learned on what is believed to be good authority that the Weller rolling mill of this city will be put in operation on October 20. Manager Harry Pritchard of Birmingham, who will be in charge of the plant of the Emery Steel company, lessees. who has leased the plant from the Weller people. has been in the city in readiness to begin operations. There was some work that had to be done be- fore the mill could be started, but it is understood that this will be completed by the latter part of the month
 Mr. Pritchard has stated that the mill will employ at least 100 men at the start, and this number will be increased from time to time, until probably about twice that number will be given employ ment.
 It has been known for some time that the plant would be put in operation at some time in the near future, and 1t was generally supposed that start would be made about October 15, but 1t appears that 1t was impossible to get the plant ready by that time.
