Business Mems Association.

The business men of Walhalla have
long felt the need of closer co-opera-
tion and have at last made a move
in this direction when they met at
Bells Hall last Friday night and or
ganized, fourteen being present. w.
Nj. Brown was elected chairman, and
j. NJ. Moss secretary. We urge every
man who lives in and near Wal
halla to join the association, and
help make their town and commu-
nifty feel and show the results for
good through such an organization.
We can have larger and better town
If (. h will help and do his part.
Don't let the name-Business Mems
Association-mislead you by think
ing 1t Is only for those engaged in
the mercantile and banking business,
for such is not the case. It's object
is to interest one and all in the bet
terment Of their town and commu-
nifty, and there is plenty of work
along this line for all to do. So
come out tonight and meet with
them at Bells Hall, over Crisp's
store, and ally yourself with the
cause, and we are sure you will
catch the spirit, and will be Of great
help to those already started in the
work.
One Of the first moves of the Asso-
citation will be to secure better mail
facilities In and out OF Walhalla.
The first step will be to endeavor to
have the midday freight carry mail
pouches, connecting with No. 3S,
nOrthhound, thus cutting in half the
time OF carrying mai from here to
NaW York and intermediate points.
our business men should turn out
in force and support this movement
heartily. There are other matters of
Importance that need attention, and
there is no better way in which to
get at such things than through the
organized efforts Of the business men.

Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Steck, died at
the home of his parents last Satur-
day afternoon at 5 o'clock. The lit
tie one had been i'll for four weeks,
from complication Of troubles, yet,
though he had often seemed just how
ering between life and death, hopes
OF his recovery were entertained al
most to the end. His death is a
severe blow to the fond parents,
whose affections were centered upon
their beautiful boy.
Little Harry was born on May II,
1908, lacking just three days Of
completing one year on earth. Dur
ing his short stay he won all hearts
by his bright, merry ways and baby
friendliness. Those who loved him
best will feel that Heaven is very
near since he is there, and will be
comforted in the thought that ne is
safe-"Safe in the arms of Jesus
Free from the blight of sorrow
free from life's tolls and cares"
The funeral services were held at
the home on Sunday afternoon at
o'clock, Rev. l.. e. HUBBARD officiat-
ing. The little body was carried by
kind hands, followed by many low
ing and sorrowing hearts to it's rest

All that life contains of torture, toll,

And ere the day Of sorrow, depart

HARRY GRAHAM sTEcK.
Tribates by Two Who Had Known
and Loved Him.

On the eighth of May, as the even-
ing sun dcepened its golden rays, the
precious soul of little Harry Graham,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Steck, took
its flight into the out-stretched arms
OF the Father who gave it. For a
little less than twelve months his
bright, happy face had cheered and
filled with hope and anticipation the
hearts of his adoring parents. His
eyer-present smile and sunny DISPOSE
tion made for him a friend of every
stranger. His last sufferings were
borne with the patience and fortitude
of soldier. Little Harry Graham
Steck was born May IL, 1908, and
on November %, by the sacred rite
of baptism, was made an heir to the
kingdom of eternal life and glory.
The funeral service was conducted
Sunday afternoon by Rev. l.. IL. Hub
ard, rector of st. Johns Episcopal
church, and the remains were laid
to rest in Westview cemetery, be-
meath a veritable hill of fragrant
flowers, placed there by the hands of
loving friends.
"Let us be patients! These severe
Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark Disguise"
"There is no Death! What seems so
is transition;
This life Of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"

 Wallace Active In Completing
 Preliminary Arrangements
 For Meeting March 20.
 The movements towards the organf- zation of the Alabama-or rather "southern"-FieId Trials Club was put and Fish Commissioner mailed notices to the American Field and other sports mans papers. The notices were official rooms of the Commercial Association in Montgomery on March 20. This morning MT. Wallace will give an of ficial notice of the call for the meet so that it can be published simuitane- ously in The Advertiser. Mobile Reg ister. Birmingham Herald, Selma
 The object in sending notices of the call to the American Field and other papers was to let the Eastern lovers of this class of sport know of the meet. getting to Montgomery in time for the meeting.
 . Primarily this club is to take the place of the old Alabama Fiell rris Is field than the old :luo had. It will be semi nal tional in it's scope, and all of the world famous dogs that are entered entered e,uy eyery year in tho biS Trials ; at start in the Southern Field Trials of the Alabama Club.
 The headquarters of the club will be In Montgomery, but the grounds for holding the trials on have not been decided on yet The preserves of the Iso5 White Cluo at .sprasae Junction are admirable in many respects. but parts of the 10000 acres are hilly and would make pretty hard going for young dogs. On this account an oh- lection has been raised by several sportsmen, and 1t is possible that the trials will not be held there.
 In nearly every direction around Montgomery, however. are thousands and thousands of acres of land that thanks to the efforts of MT. Wailaoe are richly stocked with game, With the superb roads leading in every di- with the railroad facilities that form veritable hub, the trials could be Eeld anywhere from forty to fifty miles from the city, the field trial party leay- ing for the grounds early every morn ing and getting back b Montgomery in time for supper and the comfol ts that the various local hotels can give.
 Judge Zell Gaston, of Btrnin gham. one of the most enthusiastic sports men in Alabama, has suggested the name of MT. Wallace and MT. J. K. Jack son, of this city. for president and vice president or secretary. Both are enthusiastic sportsmen and represen- tative citizens not only of Montgomery but of the entire State. Judge Cas- ton would make an ideal man for one of the officials. as would Mir. Garth. of Huntsville, Mir. Henry w. Parish. of this city and numbers of other prominent gentlemen.

ed menace to secretaries who feared to find trainers from the East being reduced by the cry Westward Ho. and the continuance of racing at Read vile was regarded as the crux of the whole matter.
 Again from another viewpoint, and one perhaps as greatly sentimental as financial, Readville has been regarded as especially important from the in- clusions connected with events there last summer. When the desperate att tempt to apply to the disease an heroic remedy took the form of novelty of fering s50.0O0, as the reward in a har- ness orse race, not Readville alone, but racing itself in larger sense be- came the exposure of all eyes and the events of August 25 were watched with an expectancy which was vertically worldwide. To have it known, there fore, that so pretentious ap attempt was a failure, in It's remoter inclusions of stability. was regarded as a body blow to racing itself as an entity.
 So that the announcement that MT. Jewett will again have the opportunity to display his versatility as racing sec- retary at Readville is matter for general congratulation in which all horsemen will join.

Mike Murphy, the greatest trainer of athletes in the world. has come out with a warning to youngsters who have the Marathon craze, writes Robert Ed gren.
 Murphy thinks a race like the Mara thon, which Is a strain for any fully developed athlete, Is a little too strenuous for boy or any man who hasn't time to train properly for 1t. No man should run distance races, Mike says, unless he has plenty of time to run an hour or two a day and to sleep and rest long enough to recuper- ate entirely-two things that don't go together for any schooiboy or any man in business. He thinks the Marathon running will injure lot of boys and young men who would otherwise make their mark in shorter distances.
 And Mike Is right. Every so-called Marathon" run around New York tnis winter has shown the wisdom Of his belief.
 fit a man for a Marathon. Anybody might cover twenty-six miles, at the easy pace, but to go out and run hard all the way is a different matter. It's a strain for the best of them.
 When all the champions from all the countries of the world met in the real Marathon at Athens, two years ago, majority of them fell on the road. Some had to be brought back in automobiles. There was a hospital tent at the Sta dium, with a corps of doctors, and they had 8 busy time

"REMINISCENCES OF
 PAP WEIKART'S DEAL

If every baseball association could get hold of manager of the shrewd there would not be many deficits at the end of the season.
 It was about sixteen years ago that Pop" was a member of a Montgom second baseman as one wants to see at that Then he drifted to Shreveport and for a number of years was one Of the best first basemen of the Southern League, managed to get him from the Pirates, and he made them one of the best managers that they ever had out there. Last fall Jack Warner. the old perl bought the Galveston franchise, and as Warner is to manage the team himself this season, Weikart decided to get out of the old game for keeps. deal for the Galveston club that was some going. Joe Cantillion was pretty sweet on Galveston as training wanted to make a long term contract with Weikart. The ultimatum that Frank gave the Eastern manager was that the Galveston club should have one-half of the receipts from every game that the local team played with Washington on the Galveston grounds. To this provision was added clause that for every game that the Washing ton team played with any of the Ma tional League teams on the Galveston grounds the Galveston club should get something like fifteen or twenty per cent. of the receipts. Cantillon put up a howl at this that would have made a Comanche Indian ashamed of himself, for 1t had always been GUS tomary that when two of the big league teams training in the South played an exhibition game between themselves that the -recepits should be divided half and half.
 Weikart stuck to his ukase, however. and Cantillion finally signed the three year contract. and for two years Weik- art secured for the Galveston club part of the receipts from every game that the Washington club played with the St Louis Cardinals, who were training at Houston. and the New York Giants at Marlin Springs.
 Warner will get the benefit of Weik- arts shrewdness in making the three year contract this season, the three years being up at the close of the 1909 training season. The reason that the Cardinals train at Little Rock now in- stead of Houston Is because Robinson owner of the St. Louis Nationals, tried to buy a tract of land near Houston to be used as a permanent training camp The Houston people refused to sell, and the St. Louis man shook the dust of the Lone Star State off his number hines.

Marathon Race IS Not for
 Youngsters, Says Mike Murphy

countrymen died-one while training for the race and one after it. They point to this as an indication of patriot ism, for the Greeks count the winning of the Marathon as one of the worlds greatest honors-one that any country may we'll be proud Of. The victory of Loues, of Greece. twelve years ago. made him as famous among his coun- trymen as the defender of Thermopy- laes Pass. In training for the last Marathon the Greeks ran their heads off day after day. In the race they found the leaders cutting out a pace faster than they had ever known. They hung on. were run off their feet, and fell exhausted one by one. This Is mention a half-trained schoolboy. The collapse of Dorando in London and again in Madison Square Garden. New York, shows how great the strain is. Dorando was a well-trained run ner and has no trouble at all in speed ing fifteen or twenty miles.
 Mike Murphy makes a point made two weeks ago. He says:
 Tn training during the fall and winter months be careful to keep the bod wand throat warm and well-pro- tected. Running out of doors with out sufficient protection is the cause of most of the cramps that long distance runners suffer from"
 Mike recommends plenty of work and sleep and plenty to eat, practice runs little shorter and slower than the race Itself, and warm clothing during and after the workouts.
