 W. A. Davis. manager of the Anniston City Land company, received notice Wednesday evening that MT. Mallory would visit the city, and has selected the circuit courtroom of the county court house as the place for the address.

Knox, Ebert Willett Judge John Pelham, Judge Thomas W. Coleman. T. L. Robinson J. G. Farley, Talbot Foard and others. There is, however, formidable lineup for the amendment, and the fight prom ises to be locally a hot one.

 The Glen Addie fire fighting company probably has the largest number of hon orary members, mostly wives, mothers and sweethearts, of any company in the city and the result of banquet held recently these honorary members have demonstrated that they can be useful as well as ornamental by inaugurating a movement to supply new clothes to any
 member of the company who may be so unfortunate as to ruin his clothes while fighting the flames.
 The book tea held by the Anniston Lib rary association yesterday afternoon at
 the reading room was a great success. A large number of new books were re-
  and as a result of this meeting it is prob
 able that the library rooms will hereafter be open every day in the week. Several new pieces of furniture have been donated to the association and the officers are also hoping to soon open new room. The association began its work only about a year ago. It has collected over TOO volumes, defrayed all expenses and has d comfortable balance in the treasury Two candidates who attended an all day singing at Antioch church recently will probably fight shy of such gatherings in the future and devote their efforts to the gentle art of curbstone button-holing. The candidates in question were running for sheriff. During the day the water supply gave out at the singing and sug- gestion was made that the candidates be made water boys. the first one giving up to agree to withdraw from the race. The
 water had to be carried about half mile and the candidates probably did tha hardest work of their lives.
