Wagon Talk /!

Some Reasons Why Farmers and
Others Should Use the Best Made
Wagons to do their Hauling:
First. You will save money to buy
the best wagon that is put up. In
doing this you also save time and
other loss.
For example: You buy an ordi-
nary two-horse wagon for $4,000,
and this looks cheap enough and
looks pretty well. Now, then, add
the interest on your money to the
repair bills and time lost, and we
ask you what is your answer. We
venture to say that you are paying
25 per cent per annum, and yet some
people say that they are not able to
buy good wagon; and If you are
not really able, the reason for it is
that you have paid it out to the
blacksmith.
Buy MILBURN WAGON, manu-
factured by the Milburn Wagon Co.
1t will cost you around $4,000. Every
part of the wagon is guaranteed for
twelve months, and we give 1T to you
in writing.
to the repair bill for five years and
we feel safe in saying that 1t will not
cost you over 10 per cent per annum.
For everyday use you can run the
MILBURN WAGON every day for
three years cheaper than you can
run lower grade of wagon one year.
An old wagon that begins to go to
the shop Is dear property, and IL you
will allow yourself to make some
figures on it, you will agree with us
that it is better to make firewood of
them. ....
We have now on hand a full car
load of MILBURN WAGONS, and
they must go in the next four
months. Our prices and terms are
right. We mean business and will
t"aaS e y'1u know values.
We carry these Wagons in stock
at Fair Play and Westminster. When
in Westminster call on K. w. Marett
at the Oil Mill.

Ho FOR HoNOKAA.

The Gazette Company has just print
ed for parties in Honokaa. Hawaii, a
three-color poster, inviting the people
from everywhere, and beyond, to come
there on July 3 and learn what real
pleasure is. This would appear to be
in opposition to the wishes and plans
of the Hilo folk. Ordinarily, Honokaa
helps to swell the gate receipts at Hilo
events, and has done so for years. Up
to few years ago the Horners were
seen in the paddocks at the track direct
ing the iockies, when occasion required
for some of the best horsefesh in the
island came from their ranch. 1t would
appear that Honokaa is going to go ii
independently this time, and the com
mittee assures all who may come very
good time. Honokaa is delightfully."-
situated, and is one of the pleasantest
villages on Hawaii. There is to be q
dance at the Lyceum, athletic events al

ment road.

BIG FEAST GIVEN
CITY NEWSBOYS

Yesterday afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock
nearly 200 of the little newspaper mer-
chants of Birmingham sat down to the
most royal feast ever rendered them.
The occasion was the annual New
Years dinner given them by the three
daily newspapers of the city and the
spread was placed before the young
sters at the Albert restaurant.
Every seasonable dish imaginable
newsies sat, and the future mayors
and presidents and corporation law
yers and policemen and street car con-
ductors began on the savory dishes and
did them full justice after training for
the event for a week or more.
= After filing their little stomachs. a
feat which required no less than a
full hour the little fellows leaned
back in their sweet state of satisfac-
ton to hear a thoroughly entertaining
as well as instructive and uplifting
talk by the Rev. Marvin Hefin, pastor
the chief speaker of the afternoon. Mr..
Heflin was introduced, with a few pre-
liminary remarks, by Judge N. B. Fea-
gin, who was greeted with thunderous
applause by the enthusiastic guests who
recognize Judge Feagin as their first
and foremost friend.
Mr.. Hefiin made ap able and witty
speech and one which the little fell
lows could easily understand. He spoke
of the energy and enterprise of the
newsies and told them that their in
dustry was bound to be rewarded,
pointing out to them the ample oppor-
tunity which lay before them. The
speech was brief and to the point and
that the little hearers appreciated it
was testified to by their applause.
When Mr.. Helm had concluded it
was proposed that yell be given for
each of the newspapers who made the
feast possible, a yell for the ladies
who have manifested such interest in
the boys and for Albert, who prepared
the feast. The response to this PROPOSE
ton was deafening and the contented
youngsters left the dining hall shout
ing their apprecia ton of the greatest
feast ever rendered them.

rs ARRESTED IN
NEGRO DANCE HALL

Police Officers Smith. Strong, Murphy
and Vaughn of North Birmingham raided
a negro lodge hall on Twenty third ave-
nue. and Twenty-fourth street last night
at 1870 o clock and placed under arrest
10 negroes on charges of disorderly con-
duct.
The hall which was raided is situated in
the midst of a white residence section of
North Birmingham, and for several
weeks past much complaint has been
made of the disturbance caused by ne
groes who frequent the place. Last night
there was dance in progress at the hall
when the officers raided it, and 1t is
stated by one Of the policemen that the
shouting of the negroes could be heard
from points four blocks away
The officers expected to find lot of
whisky in the place but the supposed sup
ply had been done away with when the
police arrived. None of the negroes es-
capped and all were locked up for disor-
derby conduct.

"The Sheriff of Angel eulch."

Young Buffalo is appearing at the Bijou
in a new play from the pen of Charles
E. Blaney, entitled 1.-THE Sheriff of Angel
Gulch.'' Young Buffalo is surrounded by
congress of frontier characters of the
sort that 'shoot up" things when the
notion strikes them. The play Is full OF
realism, exciting situations and startling
climaxes. In fact its author claims
actual happenings as the basis of his
plot. That the play may be more rep
resentative of true western and mining
life than anything that he has produced,
and moreover, to give the vividness and
exactness that a play of this kind re-
quires, he has even drawn many of the
players from the regions where the scenes
are laid. The performance will end with
a matinee this afternoon and a perform
ance tonight Next week Charley Grape
