Ny weary tired eyes greet,
At ciose Of sumner day.

Like drifts Of perfumed snow
Beneath the star gemmed skies;
And the lovely rich red roses
Whose velvet petals hold
Within each dainty fold.
A subtle sweet perfume.
An yes. I love the roses
And when the sun reposes
Upcu his couch Of smber-tinted cloud
III gather these sweet flowers.
While purple twilight hours
Are yelling soft the roses
Pure and proud.

 hibited At Tuscaloosa RAILROAD CONFERENCE
Board of Trade Wants New Depot and Railway Officials Consider Prop osition With Favor-Wed-
 dings of Interest.

Tuscaloosa, July 9.-(Special.) )-The city council met in regular session last night and transacted large amount of bus- mess and passed a number of interesting ordinances. It being known that num- Der of matters of general interest were to be discussed and determined at this meeting, a goodly sized crowd of spec tators was on hand. After the reading of the reports the finance committee re- ported gloomy prospect from their point of view, as city funds now available could not meet expenses. much restricted course in expenditures was therefore, earnestly recommended. An ordinance permitting property owners in a tier of three blocks on Twenty-first avenue to retain 12 feet more of the street than the others and which was introduced at the last meeting came up for vote The champions of the ordinance, how ever, modified the ordinance to read three feet extra, and introduced 1t to be voted on at the next meeting. Much interest has been taken in this single matter and there was some disappointment that 1t did not come to a vote last night.
 An ordinance was passed requiring side walks to be laid on both sides of Eff teenth street from Eighteenth avenue to Thirtieth avenue, or Pecks lane.
 An ordinance, introduced at the last meeting, to prohibit the sale of White Top was brought up on motion. When the vote was taken it was found that the aldermen stood four to four and the vote of the president was, therefore cast, this being in favor of the ordinance. and 1t was declared adopted. number of soft drink stands in this city are now handling White Top" and the action of the city in the matter has been awaited with interest In the discussions 1t ap- peared that aldermen were divided in opinions as to the legality of the sale of this drink under the law. The vendors of the drink here. however, seem to be of the mind that. it's sale Is not contrary to law and 1t has been stated that the ordinance may be contested.
 Bids on the erection of new school for negroes were opened. All of these. however, being above the amount appro-

 and Other Things CREAM POISONS FAMILY R. R. Mccleskey of Boaz Is Slated for Census Director of Seventh
 Congressional District-ls
 Popular Republican.

Gadsden, July 9.-(Special 1.-TWO un- known negroes yesterday walked into the home of R. J. Mashburn on Lookout mountain, a short distance from this city, and, under threats to the mistress of the home and a lady friend visiting her, helped themselves to things to eat and otherwise made themselves obnoxious. While the negroes were rumaging the pantry the women made their escape to the house of a neghbor and there re- mained until MT. Mashburn, who Is em- ployed at the Dwight mills, came home at 6 in the evening. Mir. Mashburn at once made report of the matter to the sher- if's office and every effort has been made to arrest the men, but so far they have not been apprehended.
 News was received here today that the family of Carter Burnett, who lives in the country about six or seven miles north of the city, were seriously poisoned on Wednesday evening by eating ice cream that had been frozen in a tin vessel. Dur ing the night all the members of the family were taken violently i'll and a phy- sician was called. who pronounced 1t a case of poisoning. Yesterday some the patients were still in danger, but today 1t is announced that all will recover.
 According to the best informed rspub- licans of this district, R. R. McCleskey of Boaz is slated for the director of the fed eral census in the district. There are a number of aspirants for the job, which pays a good salary, but 1t seems to be pretty well conceded by the wise ones that the mountain men will get the plum.
 The family of Superintendent J. A. Dur fee of the Southern Iron and Steel com pany arrived In the city yesterday to make this their permanent home. MT. Durfee has secured the Simpson home on Turrentine avenue. which Is an elegant place in most desirable residence sec ton. The family came here from Ohio.

priated for the purpose, the bids were rejected and the matter turned over to the board of education and school com- mittee with power to act.
 Considerable discussion was provoked by an ordinance introduced to greatly modify the Sunday closing law now in effect. It will be remembered that Tus- caloosa has been having Blue Sundays here for the past few weeks and the matter has excited much talk, both pro and con. An ordinance was introduced last night to permit the sale on Sunday by anyone handling them, of soda water, ice cream, cigars. tobacco, etc. mo- tion to table the ordinance failed and it was introduced to be voted on next meeting. Altogether, this meeting pro- voked more discussion and splitting of views than any heretofore held. The transaction of much routine business and dispensing of many minor matters kept the council in session until quite late, and adjournment was not had until well toward midnight.
 The transportation committee of the board of trade held an interesting meet ing yesterday afternoon with l.. Sevier, general freight agent, and J.

Both officials of the road expressed an earnest desire to cooperate with the town in this mat ter and confessed to the urgent need of a new station here. The board of trade will ask the railroad for at least 600 building and from yesterdays conference it is thought the request will be granted.

CALL FOR THE REUNION

Anniston, July 9-(Special )-The new target range of the Third regiment in the Fourth ward has been almost com- pleted and will soon be ready for inspec- ton. The range is pronounced the best in the state by authorities on the sub 5ect. Its superiority lies in the fact that it is ideally situated and also in the quail ity of the work done on the range.
