The little plot surrounding the South side fire department this summer was one of the prettiest places in that section of the city. There was a profusion of blossoms of the gaudiest and daintiest hues, and the plants were kept fresh and luxuriant by the constant attention of the firemen. Yesterday morning the old plants were being removed, and the ground prepared for planting bulbs. Two large tulip beds are arranged for, and there will be several rows of paper white narcissus and jonquis. Some hyacinths of the different varieties, double and single, will be planted today. The gar dener who was digging and preparing for planting yesterday said that this is his first attempt to cultivate bulbs but he hopes to make a great success of them.

Believe me, should I be called on tomor- row to render my report, not one of you could lift your eyes for very mortifca- ton. But I believe in the Daughters of Alabama; I believe in their patriotism, their loyalty and their love. l have no fear but that the Daughters of Alabama will hold up the glories of their state. It is not yet too late for a contribution or a promise, and those who contemplate sending before the convention can best reach me care of Birmingham Trust and Savings company Birmingham. The con- vention, remember, meets November Il, so send right away. The very smallest and youngest chapter in our state, the childrens chapters, and even citizens of Alabama, should send contributions to this cause, for many noble Alabamians sleep beneath the green mounds of Arling- ton cemetery. Yours in love and faith.

The following are few shots at
Long by the Garden City Herald:

AS AO'iO"AuS oAS &c" oAONS a.
Long by the Garden City Herald:
Long visited Harvey county, the
alleged stronghold of the machine,
and only 100 men, women and
children attended his meeting in
Newton, and Newton is a pretty
good sized city, by the way. The
fact is Longs meetings have been
rather hzzles all along the line.
Senator Long has got down to
the point where he says William
Allen White is a liar. That is
always the last resort of a man who
gets into tight place. calling every
man a liar who tells the truth about
him.
Leland contented himself Wednes-
day night by reading what purport-
ed to be Stubs record in the legis-
lature. Mr.. Stubs has never had
occasion to refer to Leland's re-
cord, it is so rank that every body
in the state has had a Whit of it.
The machine organs are making
much of the statement that ex-state
treasurer Grimes is for Long. Pray
when was it that Grimes has not
been part of the machine? 1t is to
be expected that all these old
reactionaries and supporters OF
Wall street would be for Long.
