 THE MANNER IN WHICH NASH VILE ENTERTAINED VETERANS. LOUISIANA BAND MAKES OFFER.

| At a meeting of the Confederate re-
 union executive committee yesterday aft ernoon many matters were taken up and especially the report of Secretary J. B. Babb on his trip to Nashville. which was completed. This report contained many pointers, the good points of the Nash vile reunion having been incorporated in it with many suggestions as to how they might be improved upon and applied to the local reunion.
 One of the most important matters was the report of J. E. Shelby, chairman of the music committee MT Shelby stated that the committee had decided that at least eight bands would be re-
 uuired to furnish the music of the re-
 union. He also told of other arrange ments the committee had planned for the different occasions.
 A letter was also submitted to the
 committee from l.. c. Champagne of
 Bergeaux, La., offering the services of his band of F pieces during the reunion.
 No charge for their playing will be
 made, the only consideration asked be-
 ing transportation and board This band
 played at the reunion held in New Or
 leans, where they made quite a hit. The
 matter was referred to the secretary with instructions to ascertain the expense and
 refer back to the committee.
 The secretary was also instructed to
 write a letter to Major General Harrison at Opelilka, asking him to name date
 when he could visit Birmingham and confer with the committee in reference to the reunion. General Harrison has signifed his willingness to come to~Bir-
 mingham at any time and assist in the arrangements.

q have wanted to commend The Age this all important question. Nothing could be more important, and you are doing an unlimited amount of good" Said David J. Fox; From the humane standpoint alone, I say put the convicts on the roads before another hot summer comes round. It ought to be done right now
 Whether it pays or not, there. is m argument that will outweigh such incl be impossible for me to commend your course too heartily"
 "As a person unaterably opposed to the fee system, I consider the proposi- tion to put the convicts on the roads the best ever instituted,'' said T. C.. Cairnes. 'I can see where that plan would play havoc with the funds of the fee grabbers, and if for no other req son I would cheer The Age-Herald in the course it has taken.
 But I consider it the best thing to do for number of other reasons. The convicts are not doing us any good now, Why not put them on the roads, where we can see something for our money. Everybody knows the convict labor when correctly supervised is the best.
 "I am heartily in favor of pedging the candidates for Board of Revenue, so we will get five men in that office who are avowedly opposed to the fee system, and out from under the influence of the fee ring"

THERMOMETER ON
 UPWARD SHOOT
PROPHETS, HOWEVER, REMEMBER THE GROUNDHOG AND SAY SOME HEAVY WEATHER IS YET TO COME.

Yesterday the thermometer took an up ward shoot, and before it hestated it had registered IS degrees.
 Yesterday was the hottest day of the year, the first day, in fact in which real summer weather prevailed.
 Peach trees are blooming everywhere, the buds are bursting from the oaks. the grass has returned to the fields the birds are trilling their spring notes, the lazy flies are droning, and the mosquito is in the final period of his winters sleep.
 The advent of warm weather was ex- emplifed yesterday when the cars wend- ed their ways through the city to the Highlands and suburbs with every win- dow stretched wide open. The corpulent passengers waved palmetto fans with energy and impatlence. Florid coun- tenances predominated. En route from school yesterday afternoon little boys were seen tossing baseballs, the diavolo and other winter games having been rel egated to state of neglect.
 The weather prophets, however, re- memberng the adventure of the ground iA'e' "Hoi repi udly z on ledNlng ms home he encountered his shadow, shake their heads in doubt. They would not be surprised to see the pleasant weather overwhelmed with clouds, heavy rain, and another cold snap. According to the ground hogs predictions spring will not begin before March 15
 At any rate, the merchants are sell ing their winter goods at bargain prices and the wide awake are anxiously ex- pectng to announce the sight of the first straw hat

OFFER CONCERT
 FOR THE VETERANS
TREBLE CLIFF CLUB MAKES SUG- GESTlON TO REUNION COMMIT TEE-MoUNTAIN CREEK SOL DlERS TO BE BROUGHT HERE.

concert to the veterans by the Treble Clef club and a suggestion to ar range for the bringing of the veterans in the soldiers home at Mountain Creek to Birmingham during the reunion were two matters suggested to the Confederate re- union committee in letter to that body, written by Mrs. w. J. Adams. chairman os the music committee of the Treble Clef club
 Both matters met with hearty approval the part of the committee and ar arrangements will probably be made for doing both the things suggested by Mrs. Adams. The concert will be a free af- fair, the club charging nothing for its services The only request made of the committee is for the furnishing of the hall or auditorium for the occasion.
 The matter of bringing the veterans from Mountain Creek is one that will not be overlooked and these old fighters will have everything at their command while in Birmingham. The secretary was in- structed to ascertain the expense of the undertaking.
 The letter written by Mrs Adams is as follows:
 ''The Executive Committee, Confederate
 Veterans Reunion, City:
 "Gentlemen-The Treble Clef club, If it meets the approval of your committee, will give d concert to the Confederate veterans one night during the reunion. "Of course, no admission fee will be charged. We will expect the committee, ! if the offer is accepted. to furnish the hall or auditorium in which the concert | is to be given. The concert will be given under the sole direction of the Treble CIef club. It will arrange and render a suit. able programme
 While the club does not make it as q condition to tine offer herewith made it would suggest to your committee that some arrangements be devised by which the veterans now inmates of the Mountain Creek soldiers home be furnished means of attending the reunion.
 Should your committee accept the offer made the club would like you to designate the night the concert is to be given. ,Ap- preciating an early reply. l am, yours very truly, MRS w.J ADAMS, Chairman Music Committee Treble Clef

Judge WeakIey's Boom.

In reference to politics generally, it is an interesting fact that Judge Samuel D. Weakley Is receiving quite a boom for governor in the southern section Of the state One of the Mobile papers, in speaking of the rumor that Judge Weak ley will be in the race to succeed Gov ernor Conner, paid the Birmingham at torney fiattering compliments.
 While Judge Weakley has authorized no statement his friends state that he is not going to run for governor, but that he will assuredly be in the race for chief justice of the supreme court His friends state that he is doing silent campaign- ing at the present time
 There is only one announced candidate for the rnorship-Lieutenant Cover nor Gray. A. H. Carmichael, speaker of the house; State Auditor w. w. Bran don and State Treasurer Walter D. Seed will probably be in the race. Senator E. Perry Thomas of Barbour has received fiattering mention as candidate, but his friends declare that he will ask for the lieutenant governorship. State Sena- tor Overton it is very probable. will be in the race, also. In case the race is confined to these two brilliant young statesmen the fight will be spectacular and one of great interest Senator Thom- as was leader of the minority in the senate, Is exceedingly popular. and a splendid orator. Senator Overton, as a contender for good roads of the state, has made him band wagon of his own.

MARKING SHEETS.

Why mark sheets with ink in a
haphazard way? 1t is so easy to find
nice initial in newspapers or maya
zines which may be transferred to
sheets with carbon paper and then
traced with indelible ink. Without
the slightest cost and with little trou-
BILE good and uniform marking may
be thus procured and if preferred,
the letters, thus marked, may even
be embroidered, In this day, when
engraved headings are the rule, not
the exception, letters for the whole
name may be found, too.-New

TO CLEAN COAT COLLARS.

Apply turpentine to the soiled
places, letting the fluid dry, and APP
plying more several times; then
gently scrape off the loosened dirt.
Wet again with turpentine, and
scrape, repeating this until all spots
have been removed
Then sponge with clean cloth and
turpentine, or better still, alcohol or
chloroform, and wipe dry.
A fresher and smoother looking
surface is obtained when alcohol or
chloroform is used, as these two sub
stances evaporate more quickly than
does turpentine.- New York Press.
