FOR OLD SOLDIERS
COMING FrDDLERs, CONTEST AT
 THE GRAND.
Four of the 0ld-Time FiddIers will Compete for the PriHe-A Fine AceompanyinE
 ProWrnm.

To making life easier and more enjoyable for the old Confederate sol- dlers at the Mountain Creek Home, the proceeds from the Fiddiers Conven- ton and It's accompanying entertain- mont at The Grand Theatre on the night of December 21. will be devoted. The old soldiers are practically with yout spending morey at the Home, and Christmas and similar occasions mean but little to them. The proceeds from the entertainment will be used to- wards supplying them with some pocket change.
 In addition to that 1t is hoped and believed that the returns will be so large that there will be money enough to mark the graves of the old soldiers who have died at the Home. The men who seek refuge in the Home are all old, and only too often they are suf- fering from sickness.
 Under these circumstances the death rate is very large. There are on the grounds between thirty and fifty graves of veterans who have died in the few years since the Home was opened. The graves are insuff1clently marked. It is hoped that sufficient money can be obtained to put suitable stones over the graves of these old veterans.
 The entertainment at The Grand will be we'll worth seeing. As q matter of fact the program should be to the peo- pie of Montgomery one of peculiar and special interest The chief feature of 1t will be a Fiddlers' Contest between four veteran soldiers who are also vet eran fiddiers. They will furnish gen. uine. old time music. such as the city man used to hear when he was . boy living in the country.
 The entries in this contest are Messrs. Alfred Lee. Joe Rosinia, W. A. Seals and Thomas ]. Sailey.
 Gen. W. W. Brandon will preside and deliver the opening address.4 The value of the program will be height ened by musical selections from two of Montgomery's talented musicians. Miss Wolff and Miss Jacobt A num- Der of Montgomery's prominent citi- gems are expected to deliver ten min ute addresses. It is expected that Governor Conner will be among the speakers at the Grand.
 W. A. Thompson is in charge of ,y3fie arrangements for the entertain- ment. capt. J. H. Simpson. command ant at the Home. will come down Sun day, bringing with him number of veterans from the Home.

A New Use For Toads.

The very latest and most ingenious
way of getting rid of reaches and
water bugs we have heard of is re-
lated of a citizen of Schenectady
whose kitchen was infested with
them.
A servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
hop toads and put them in the kitch-
en-. Not a roach or water bug. it is
stated, can now be found in the
house. The toads have become do
mesticated, never wander about the
house, and are SO cleanly and inoffen-
siye that there is no objection to-theiT
presence.
Another use for toads is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the gar
dens. They are determined enemies
of all kinds of snails and slugs, which
it is we'll known can in a single NIGH
destroy a vast quantity Of lettuce,
carrots, asparagus, etc. Toads are
also kept in vineyards, where they
devour during the night millions OF
insects that escape the pursuit OF
nocturnal birds, and might commit
incalculable havoc on the buds and
young shoots of the vine. In Paris
toads are an article of merchandise

Street Cars For shanghai.

The problem of tram traffic in a
Chinese city presents peculiar diff

ton of the streets and the lack Of IA

ton of a new tramway system in
Shanghai has been practically COM
pleted, although the current will be
turned on at first only in sections
where the inexperience Of the Chinese
drivers and conductors will be less
likely to have bad effects. Upward
of twenty-three miles Of tracks have
been laid, and the tram routes have
been divided into eleven sections,
over which the passenger is entitled
to travel--the first class fare for one
section being only two and a hall
