"Mammy's Bob, Famous Singer,
 Is Dead: His Music Is Stilled

''Marnmy's Bob Is dead and the grief of the entire neighborhood in which he lived testifies to the regard in which he was held by those who knew him. several days. ago his death occurred, but not until yesterday was he buried. his body being permitted to lie in state for that period. The principal mourner at the interment ceremony was Sarah Jenkins. an old negress. who raised Bob and cherished him throughout his fife of thirteen years. Old age Is given as the cause of his decease.
 Bob was a bird. He was a mocking bird. He lived at the home of Fred Hammond, 420 Madison Avenue, and for years was accustomed to delight all of the people in that neighborhood with his Hduid song. It is declared tha' he was the best known. the most loved and the smartest litle feathered crea- ture that ever lived in this city.
 Dogs, as well as members of the human race, were fascinated by the &C., complishments of the bird. It Is stated that he possessed an intelligence that exceeded far that usually attributed to his kind. Hanging In his cage on the front verandah he would greet every conner with a burst of song. Told by MT. Hammond to call the dog. 1t Is de- clared that he would whistle until the

 CIAL CLUB TONIGHT.
wil Tell Members the Full Meaning of Resent Chattano0ga Convention ct Commercial Club
 Secretaries.

A mass meeting of all the earnest business men of Montgomery has been called for tonight in the rooms of the Commercial Club.
 Mir. Dave, who has just come back from the Chattanooga Convention of Commercial Club Secretaries. will go fully Into all subjects discussed at that convention and thus pass on some of thA inspiration that came from this first gathering in the South of the secretaries Of commercial clubs rang ing from Virginia to Texas Much that was lefjfaed at that convention should be undersLOou and acted upon by the business men of MontRomery.
 Mir, Dave retufns convinced that Montgomery is notT facing forlorn hope in it's efforts to grow. but has fighting chance for a victory as great as that which has come to Chattanooga.
 This Is the only opportunity that the business men of this city will have to hear the subject thoroughly covered and to discuss some of the actions of the convention. Mir. Dave is convinced that out of the convention will grow the greateAt forward move in the his- tory of all the Southe ern States.
 Owing to the regretted accident to Capt. A. G. Forbes. he will not be able to preside. but has asked F. P. Glass to occupy the chair. Mir. John T. Walker, who was present during a part of the convention in Chattanooga will also speak.

 Tn the City Court yesterday two negroes Albert Jones and John John son, were tried for the old flim-flam game of the pocket book" Ignorant country negroes were there. and the tale of how easy 1t is to get money from some one who has the get-rlch- quick bee in his bonnet was gone over. Many persons in the court were forced to smile over. the absurdity of the scheme, but the witnesses and the spectators rolled their eyes at the sickness of their own race.
 Some weeks ago the police were noti- fled that two negroes were going over the city selling shares in a pocket book, which they had seen a rich citi- zen of the city drop on his way to the depot. Suckers were evidently easy for the reports were numerous. The police got busy. and the two were landed.
 The two artists" would approach country negro, and tell him that they had found a pocket book containing $500. and that for the trifling sum of $50 they would sell share in the proceeds. 1t Is said that every time the pocket book was shown, $50 was forked over with great glee. Securing the real goods, the two city negroes would skip and look for another suck CT. f

TALK GOOD ROADS THRIFT OF DEXTER

 AVENUE.
That the 2 Thoroughfare is Keeping Commercial Pace of City ia Proven by Epidemic of
 Building Now On.

Montgomery's fealty to Dexter Ave- nue has not been shaken.
 Despite the fact that new business streets are being rapidly developed, that sky-scraping buildings are being erected on other thoroughfares, the old and historic highway that for so many years represented retail Mont gomery Is suffering from no lack of improvement.
 In fact Dexter Avenue Is not only keeping pace with the other business streets but the building improvement on the way to the old Capitol, which heads the street named for Montgom- ery's founder. is even exceeding the work on it's new rivals.
 For years it was the saying in Mont. gomery that Business will not sue eeed. if 1t Isn't located on Dexter Ave nue.. That saying has heen proved A fallacy. New businesses have opened up on other avenues and these busi- nesses have succeeded. But Dexter Avenue has lost none of It's popular ity. Right now three new, modern. and expensive structures are being built on upper Dexter Avenue which up to the present time has been used largely for residential purposes. And in the next few months another great

 The dog Mir. Hammond said. appear ed to greatly enjoy the music and rest ing upon his hind quarters would sit Tn the most complacent manner imagin- able for several minutes. The incident was repeated so often that no doubt can be entertained that in some pecu- liar way Bob realized the significance of certain words spoken to him. That he was versed in bird lore. the sweet ness emanating from his little swell ing chest eloquently testified.
 Sarah Jenkins. the owner of Bob, who cooks for Mrs Hammond, was the one whom the songster's death most grtev- ed. She was heartbroken at his de- mise and would not permit him to be buried for several days. making ire quent pilgrimages to the place where the stiff little corpse lay and gazing upon it for minutes at the time m rr.ournful silence most touching.

 Another ten-spot was divided between the State and the County of Blob at the expense of John Johnson, of that neighborhood. He had no cage, but a grave for his mocking- bird. He killed one of the feathered songsters, a tragedy which grated on the ears of Warden Cleveland again. The trial found the man guilty.

They all paid ten7spots for the sport of huntingse pn0S another mans lands without that 'ouperson's permission. From one of the Hyde cases sprang the celebrated test of the state game law.

 When peace came he returned to Montgomery and entered into the com mission business with his father, Mir H. P.; Lee. He married in 1885 Miss Jamie Pomeroy. who like Captain Lee. was a great social favorite in this city After living a few years in Troy, Pa, he mayed to Brooklyn.
