 ''So thick and fast he said, these new inventions come, life grows rather con- fusing for plain and simple folk.
 There was an old fisherman rowing in his boat one day when an automobile canoe sprung a leak near him anu i'm mediately sank.
 "To the indignation of the canoes oc- cupants, the old man paid no heed to them, but rowed calmly on his way, puff fling an old clap pipe.
 However, the wrecked canoelsts man aged to swim to him, and as they clam bered into his boat one sputtered angrily;
 'Confound you, why didn't you lend LIS hand? Didn't you see we were sink ing?'
 ''The old man took his pipe out of his mouth and started at them in astonish- ment.

EPISCOPALIANS IN SESSION
Knights of Pythias Confer Degrees On Candidates-Several Other Gen eral and Interesting News
 Items of the Steel City.

Ensley April 93.-(Special.) )-That board of trade will be organized in Ems ley now seems to be a strong probability. Petitions are being circulated throughout the city calling on the business, profes- sional and working men to meet at the city hall next Thursday night at o'clock for the purpose of forming such an or ganization. The petitions are being rapid ly signed, presentation only being neces- sary to obtain the signature of most cit izens The importance and desrability of such an institution is so manifast that only somebody to get behind the move ment and push it along seems to be nec- essary. The object of such an organiza- tion is of course to push the town in every legitimate way. to advertise it's numerous advantages as broadly as pos siblo, and to secure the location of all kinds of industries and manufacturing plants; in other words, to take up all matters pertaining to the general welfare of the city, discuss them. and secure con- certed action on the part of the citizens with reference thereto as circumstances and conditions may warrant.
 It is the purpose. of those behind the present movement to form q permanent organization, probably incorporating nn- der the general laws of the state of Ala bama regulating the incorporating of such associations, and maintain an office or headquarters with the proper officer in charge. All citizens are urged to be pfes- ent Thursday night that the project may be discussed fully in all it's phases and successful beginning made.

 Mir I. A. deHart, route agent of the Southern Express company. in charge of the various offices from Atlanta to Mem phis, with headquarters in Birmingham, has been in the city for the past two days looking into the business of the local office. MT. deI1art stated this aft ernoon that he finds large increase in the express business of the city, enough to justify putting on another wagon and probably the placing of an assistant with C. T. Walker, the local agent. The pres ent quarters of the eoihpany are rather small for the business to be done and something will have to be bone in tine near future to remedy this condition.
