 The following from the Houston Post will be of interest in Birmingham:
 Miss Carrie Bridewell. charming woman and brilliant opera singer. is well known in this immediate community be- cause of her prominent family connec- tions in the south. as well as on account of the musical distinction attained by her, first as a favorite member of the Metropolitan Opera company under the Maurice Grau regime, and later as star soloist for the State Saengerfest when last it was held in Houston.
 But Miss Brdewel's closest claims on the esteem and admiration of Houston ians comes through the fact that she is a sister of Mrs. Baltis Allen, than whom no singer of our city holds a higher place in the regard of all who know her and through her beautiful work she is known to the entire town. s7yT
 Miss Bridewell and her mother, who have resided in Italy during the last year or so, arrived in New York last week, having broken their journey from Paris in order there to go shopping to buy a bridal trousseau, indeed. Mrs. and Miss Bridewell crossed on the Lustania when she made her record breaking trip arriving in port May %.
 After a short rest in the metropolis the two ladies went down to Richmond where Mrs. Bridewelrs home tempor- arily is, and there Miss Carrie was mar ried at high noon on last Thursday to MT. Lemuel c. Benedict. a wealthy New Yorker of distinguished social standing.
 This wedding is the happy consumma- ton of love affair already some years old. MT. and Mrs. Benedict will live in New York, of course.

strongly contrasting.
Some OF the new muffs are trimmed

Braid and velvet in conjunction are
finding tremendous favor for gowns OF
every variety. and a very fine cord

the wider braids to carry out a ORE

FOR COLLECTOR OF REVENUE

Capt. E. L. Carney, who has illed
the Office of collector of revenue for
the past several years with so much
assiduity and correctness, is a candi-
date for reelection, and it looks as if
ne viii have no opposition.
This, in itself, speaks volumes in
his praise, for it is recognized as be
ing one Of the more important of our
county Offices, and if Capt. Carney
was not the popular man that he is
II is very probable that he would have
opposition by the score.
II is not necessary for Capt. Carney
