EGG WITH MYSTERIOUS WORDS
 CREATES MUCH EXCITEMENT

c. l.. Armstrong, well known trav- cling man of Montgomery, reports the finding at Sanford in Southeast Ala bama of an egg in which there appear ed in raised letters the words. The End of the World Is Close at Hand |"
 "Thls egg" said Mir. Armstrong. "created considerable excitement.
 '"The egg. which is of more than or dinary size, was brought to Sanford yesterday by Lon Cobb, a farmer living one mile south of town In less than an hour every one had heard the news and large crowds began to gather at NIX Brothers drug store, where the mysterious hen fruit was on exhibition. The information appearing on the shell Is so indefinite that the more supersti- tious residents of the village are pre- pairing for the final crash. Others look upon it as a remarkable phenomenon, but place very little confidence in tho mysterious warning.
 ''While attending to the regular mornings work on the farm MT. Cobb's attention was attracted by vocif- erous demonstration among his poul- try. A number of hens scurried excit- edIy from under the barn and ran blindly in every direction. Upon in- vestigating the cause for the excite ment the farmer discovered three or four dead hens and the freshly laid egg bearing the warning, The End of the World is Close at Haud.' Author ities on the occult disagree on the origin of such prognostications, but the people of Sanford are convinced that this one is of supernatural origin

LICENSES INCREASE
XTcrNsE MONEY SHOWS. INCREASE
 OVER LAST YEAR.
In This is Seen . Good Business Indi-
 cntlon--The New Licenses @s Are Now Due.

Notwithstanding the fact that some of fha people are saying that there Is a financial stringency in effect Just at present and that no one has any money. the business at the Probate Judre's office has increased nicely over the same time last year. Immediately after the first of the year everyone starts to take out their license and the revenue of the office is much larger at that time than at any other. Up to and including January 3, 1907. there was approximately S14.000 collected on licenses and this year for the same time the amount is about $t6,000. making a difference of s2.OOO in favor of this year. :, censes this year than heretofore, but few of the new licenses have as yet been taken out. It seems that many people who are compelled to pay H. cense this year who never have before are yet unaware that such laws have been passed For this reason few of the new licenses are being issued.
 Tn all there are eleven new licenses. They are on firms or corporations sell ing sewing machines, lightning rods or vehicles, piano and organ companies, firms buying claims against any county, automobile liveries. bottling works. foreign picture concerns. cotton ware houses, congresses, fertilizer factories. cotton mills of every description, soda fountains and stands selling cider or soft drinks.

 The new volume is gratifying to AL abama Masons, too, because of the ex- cellent showing it makes for the or der in this State. Masonry made rapid strides in Alabama In the past year. Every table of figures shows that the order is progressing and prosperous.

 The Sheriff.

Laboring under numerous troubles. any onei of which has gone on record 5as being the destructive power that has put many good man completely to the bad, a forlorn looking creature in the shape of a man, appeared be- fore sheriff Hood yesterday Tor the dual purpose of seeking advice and to be protected.

 Afraid to apply for a diorce for fear she would put him In jail pending the decision of the suit.
 Afraid to go home.

 or all the forlorn. woe-be-gone looking creatures that ever came Into the sheriff's office this man was the worst. He said that he was afraid to move for fear of that woman. He stated that she often would leave home for two or three weeks and then come back and plant herself in chair and say that she was going to stay and s"she sure stayed" according to his own words.
 He stated that when she left. he pro ceeded to get drunk. but that he did not dare do such thing when She was at home. He said that on one occasion she was away and he got drunk, and before he got sober she came back and then there was a scene such as he Will never forget She commands most or his wages and through fear of her he hands it over and then if he needs money during the week he is met with all sorts of language when he asks for a little change.
 Sheriff Hood was unable to give thiR man any advice that seemed to make an impression on him. Every time the sheriff would mention some way to get out of this world Of trouble, ne would be met with defeat at the hands of the person in front of him in the shape of some way that this woman or all women would get around it-

 But one furnace has gone into blast in this district this year so far, but preparations are being made to start up two others in the near future.
 Officials of the larger companies re- port that iron prices are strong at S13.50 per ton, No. 2 foundry. with smaller companies perhaps selling un- der this little.
 The little army of unemployed in this district Is looking forward to a gem eral resumption of work on all sides.
