HoMESEEKERS' DAY.
COLD WAVE HAS CHECKED THE ARDOR SOMEWHAT.
It is Expecfed Thst Number of the
 Homeseekera Wfll Pass Through Montgomery

The cold wave has checked the ardor of the hofueseskers. Local offices of the various railroads have received word thai the ticket sales in the North and the East have suffered severe dim mutton. It is expected that the num- Der of homeseekers who win pass through the city today -Homeseekers Day--wiii touch the low trsfiic mark.
 There is also extreme relucfance among the people in the districts about Montgomery to. stir from their present homes when tine weather is likely to be so inclement Very few sales have been made. A person Is usually pretty well content with the place that he has. be it e'er So humble, when the wind whistles warningly in the chlm- ney and the cold greets him with c sting the moment that he sets foot out of doors. He does not wish to take any chances in another part of the country where he Is not so certain of the roof above his head and the Ire in his grate.

Mr. Thompson Of KalGmazoo in
 Montgomery With Words of Praise

William Thompson. who gained wide fame as the advertising mayor" of Kalamazoo. Mich., IS in Montgomery on tour ok the South. MT. Thsmpson some weeks ago finished his second term as Mayor of Kalamazoo and he Is making -G tour of inspection of various Southern cities and incidentally, look ing after the interests of a big stove manufacturing company. of which he is the head.
 Mfr. thompson Is the first and only Democratic Mayor Kalamazoo hasThad in many years. He never wanted the job. But some of the leading business men of the city. most of whom were drafted him to make the race. Once in 1t, MT. Thompson who had built up an enormous business through advertising. decided to apply business methods to politics. So be went on advertising his candidacy. ola, politicians smiled at the innovation, but they had another smile coming when the votes were counted. He re- ceived the biggest vote ever given a mayoralty candidate in Kalamazoo. Once in the office he inaugurated a system of advertising for the city to build 1t up, much after the way he had built up his business. He originated the business phrase. So familiar to magazine readers: From Kalamazoo, direct to you"
 T used to, sell soap through this country" said Mir. Thompson yester- day. 'Let me see--that was twenty i've years ago, and Montgomery was in my territory. I was living at Louis- vile, but my trade territory was fur ther South I made Montgomery reg ularly in those days. I want to say in

Bowman ef the Mont- gomery Light and Water Power Com pany, yesterday carried around q sub- scription list and secured, among Mont gomery business men.

 The mother was Mrs. Fannie Harvell. living with four children, on the exten- sion of Clayton Street. During the cold spell there was only one cot In the house, practically all the family sleep ing on thin pallets on the floor. The mother was working in one of the west End cotton mills and doing her best. through long. weary hours, to minister to the needs of her helpless children. It was a struggle against overwhelming odds. Perhaps in all Montgomery there was not barer home.
 Montgomery merchants, as Hoon as thev learned of the case, contributed enough to give the unfortunate family comforts It's members had not known in many weeks. Contributors 10 this
