AN ANcLER's ELYsIUMM.

According to advertisements all summer resorts are alike. They are the best ever but If fishing Is better anywhere else than 1t is in Georgian Bay we do not know where 1t is There is a greater va riety of fish in this water than anywhere else, and they are always hungry. The only place where you can afford to fish Is where the fish are numerous, big and de- licious in flavor and that place is Geor- gian Bay-so the fishermen say. Suppose you send for booklet, issued by Grand Trunk Railway System free, telling about the home of the bass. pickerel, pike and the noble trout family. Address G. w.

Educational Advantaqes.

In the location of the home no ques- tion arises that is of more importance than the matter of educational advan- tages. No man now thinks of locating his family where there are no school ad- vantages and the desirability of loca- tion, even for individuals, is largely de- termined by the relation of any given point to this question. Jacksonville has long since taken her place in the his tory of the state and of the south as a center of education and refinement No place in Alabama can offer better edu- cational advantages than can Jackson ville This is the home of one of the very best state normal schools in the south and this institution has recently been housed in most magnificent build- ing, which is only few hundred yards away from the site which we offer for the location of the Masonic Home. This will place the home where the children will be in easy walking distance of the State Normal school, thus enabling~them, both boys and girls, to enter the Kindergarten and graduate from the State Normal free of tuition and without being taken from the home. Young men and young women graduating from this institution do so under contract of teaching two years, for which they are we'll paid. This will enable the young people of the home to become self-sustaining at an earlier age and thus give place, for others in the institution.

Religious Environment.

No man in this age of Christian culture for one moment thinks of choosing To- cation for his family without considering the question of religious environment and church privileges.
 No town or city in the south affords better advantages from this point of view than does Jacksonville. This place has long been recognized as a center of Chris tian culture, and it would be difficult, indeed, to find another town that could offer a site of 5S acres of land so cen- trally located as to place the home with in easy walking distance of five different churches. The distance from the home to each of these churches will range from three to seven blocks. This is an ad- vantage that will be appreciated by those who come to the home with the weight of years upon them, and one that will aid materially the home in properly di- recting the youthful lives committed to its care.

 Storm Was Blessing.
 E. O. McCard, attorney, manager of the Albertville Electric Light plant and prominent citizen, talked enthusiastical- ly of the growth of Albertville since the disastrous cyclone about year ago.
 MT McCord was one of the heaviest losers in the catastrophe that almost totally destroyed the town. He lost a son, other members of his family were seriously injured and his home was totally destroyed. He said:
 While I lost heavily, I am com pelled to admit that the storm has re- suited in much benefit to the town and community.
 Almost every home has been re- built larger and better than the one destroyed, and many new structures have been erected. The necessary re- building seemed to give an impetus to the town that has not yet abated. The people are building on broader lines and with an eye to permanency.
 "The farmers, too, seem to have been inspired with a new spirit and are making noticeable advances on all lines. You see large handsome residences all over the rural section. Large barns have been and are being built. It Is hard to admit but in a way the storm has been blessing to the town and cOmmunitY."

very wide scope of country, while the minor elevations In the vale present a view too lovely for description.
 In and around the city are many springs and brooks of pure water. One of these springs, in the center of the city, has a flow of 100000 gallons of water daily and supplies the needs of manufac- turing plants along the railroad front age On the northern boundry of the city is another great spring having a daily flow of 100000 gallons. These, and other springs in and around the city, afford per feet drainage and conduce to the health of the place, for which it has long been famous. The water for domestic uses comes by gravity from freestone springs high up on the mountain side, free from all possible contamination Outside the pure water supplied by the Water Works company thu is a great variety of drink ing water ot a hea1th-giving quality We have -freestone, limestone, chalybeate, sulpho-chalybeate, epsom and iron com bined, all within the city limits A few miles distant is a fine white sulphur spring, in beautiful natural park which Is used by the people of the town as picnic ground and resort for the sum mer season.
 The environing hills shelter the city from the rude blasts of winter, and the breeze from the mountain tempers the heat of the summer sun, thus making an equable and delightful climate In fact. the mean temperature differs very little from that of Los Angeles, Cal.
 Beyond the mountain to the east lie Nance's and Choccolocco valleys fruitful feeders of the city. On the west and southwest lies the beautiful valley of Alexandria, famous throughout Alabama On the south and north lie pretty little valleys abounding in varieties of fruit and farm products To the northwest lie the gray lands of the county from which the city draws it's principal sup ply of chickens, eggs, butter, meats and fruits. From one or the other of these valleys as well as from the fine farm lands immediately around Jacksonville, can be gathered, at moderate prices, everything in the nature of table supplies used at the home.
 Jacksonville has every modern conven- fence of any city of It's class-waterworxs telephone system, electric lights. etc. The Southern and Seaboard railroads give ac- cess to the outside world. Jacksonville is one of the oldest cities of the state, and has given to the country many emi- nent men, and while 1t is developing and growing along modern lines of progress, 1t retains the culture common to these old communities of our state; and the child reared within such environment must needs partake of the polish -.and refinement which go with such condi- ton.

and doubtless the answer is in abe
book somewhere If they can only find
it.
The. practice of resolving presents
a similar aspect. 1t is not entirely
perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race 1t Is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worked out. The forming of the
resolution has been beautifully work
ed out, till almost any one, the merest
novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first
of January. The chief difficulty that
still remains has to do with keeping
the resolution once it is made. Some
thing like keeping your aeroplane
right side up once you have estab-
lished neighborly relation with the
stars.
Probably several years will elapse
before the custom of resolving
reaches perfection and in the mean
time 1t might be well to adopt a
makeshift for the present unattain.
able
It would seem as if the difficulty
might be minimized by more attention
to the subjects taken for resolving
purposes. 1t is well to use care in Sc
lecting our resolutions. and because
of the proximity of January 1, few
suggestions may not be out of place.
For a young woman-Try this one.
Il hereby resolve with earnestness to
no longer Insist on grandma wearing
french heels There are several ad-
] Yantageous features to this resolution
/ To begin with it is humane. Just
think of forcing the poor old lady to

church steeples under her sole leath

painful step she whispers Ouch" File
