OFFICIALS ARE OPTIMISTIC

Montgomery, December 30.-(Special)-
The banks of Montgomery will distribute
$62,50 in semi-annual dividends on stock
earnings within the next few days This
will have a good effect on the business
of the community, it is quite sure, and
tend to help others to turn loose wealth
that has been rather inactive in the last
few days. As a whole the bankers feel
that the new year is coming along with a
fine prospect for business along all lines.
Without exception they take an optimistic
view of the situation.
The dividends will be divided as fol-
lows: First National, 2 per cent on $1OOO.-
900 capital $4,000; Fourth National 4 per
cent on 100000, $4,000; Exchange National,
3 per cent on 100000, $1,000; Montgomery
Bank and Trust Co., per cent on $3.50, :
600, $500; Union Bank and Trust Co., 8
per cent on 100000, $1,000: New Farley
National, liz per cent Quarterly on
$3.50, 600, $1,000.
Inasmuch as the Alabama Bank and
Trust company is just rounding out its
first year, the question of interest win
come up at the annual meeting on jan
uary IL. President ]. l.. Hall said that
the first annual period of the bank indi-
Gated that it had done an excellent husi-
hess, and at all times stood ready to
make good in every item every obligation
against it to the fullest extent. He is
looking to great business year and
thinks that Montgomery as we'll as the
rest of the county should feel that the
outlook is bright

S. Mizener of Brantford, Canada, preach
ers of the gospel, though of no denomina-

cation, are travelling through the coun-

use a wagon, drawn by one horse, and
have made the entire distance from Can

drawn by the same horse. Before going
inc the work Mr.. Hall was a civil en-
gineer with a large business, and Mr..
Mizener clerk in the Dominion service.
The two preachers do their own cook
ing and washing. They sleep in the
wogan and carry tent for the horse
They have been amply supported by tie
people along the route and have not
gone hungry for day. The only trouble
is getting horse feed, 1t being imposs-
BILE to carry much in the wagon. The
wagon is fitted out much like a sleeping
car, the seats falling down to make the
beds. They make about - miles a day.
The wagon Is covered over with Bible
texts, and the entire outfit suggests

the country down through several states.

David Philpot, an ex-slave of Colonel
Philopt former sheriff of Morgan coun-
ty, is here on a visit to his old friends,
both black and white. The old man is a
worthy example of the best class of be-
fore-the-war negroes. AT the outbreak
of the Civil war Colonel Philpot enlisted
and left old David in charge of the fam
lily and farm with instructions to de-
vote his time and labor to raising food
stuffs and waste no time in growing cot
ton. The old man was more canny than
his master and raised cotton every year,
slowing it away. After the war, the
master found a large quantity of cotton
which he sold at 81 a pound. The old
man is now a resident of Texas and has
not been in Alabama in many years
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-12-31

A building boom is believed to be in
prospect for the early part of the year.
There is a sharp demand for small cot
tages and several combinations of capital
have been formed recently to supply the
demand by the erection of new houses.
Several new public enterprises are in
prospect also, among them being the cleo
trio railway to the top of Monte Sano.
There will be plenty of work for laborers
and mechanics in Huntsville in the next
few weeks.
