Visitors at Jenny's.

Jenny's, May 9.-After storm
there's always a calm. For nearly
two weeks Jennyville has been en-
joying entertaining her many visi-
tors. Now all are, gone, how quiet
and lonesome! All took in the
memorial, which, we believe, was one
of the best we have ever attended.
Then next we enjoyed on the follow
ing Saturday, genuine good old
time fish fry at the picturesque home
of Capt. ]. w. Jenny. Fish, hot
coffee, hot rolls, red-horse bread ga
lore!
Of course there were other eat
ables, but too numerous to mention.
Lemonade and ice cream throughout
the afternoon. We tamely express
ourselves when we say we ENJOY
these gatherings at Capt. Jenny's, for
no one ever goes away from his home
without having spent pleasant day,
for the untiring efforts Of this good
man and his better, and bigger half
will make it pleasant for old and
young. Long may this dear couple
be spared us.
Mrs. Martha Kearse and grand
daughter, Agnes, from Kearse, made

Of course they dined at the fish-fry,
and went away-s satisfied. Aunt
Martha, now in her 82nd year, is
looking we'll, and her bright smiles
and kind, loving words are a bene-
diction to all around her. Would
that our land was filled with such
women!
Mr.. and Mrs. Willie Rast, from
Orangeburg, have been visiting at

Quite a crowd from here ran over
to the picnic at Mt. Pleasant near

Don't think many folks was at home
Thursday, all went to the picnic. The
day was fine, rather cool in the morn
ing, but soon was alright. The
speeches were, both of them, of most
excellent character. Rev: Monroe
gave a fine little talk on "Babies,
illustrating beautifully how they
helped in the church below, and in
Gods Kingdom.
Mr.. Watson gave the Educated
Woman" her place in the home, in
the church, and in the community in
which she lives.
We wonder why somebody did not
tell us something about man. IL
seems nobody knows anything about
this queer creature known as man
What is man? 1t is nothing unusual
to read essays, hear speeches, etc.
about the woman, but all the poets
are stumped when he comes to man.
Why?

A few days ago, the day after the
ball at Bamberg, a young man who
had gotten too much of the ball, or
something else, was sleeping the
next day, Friday. Some of his
frie4ds went to the room in which
he as sleeping to administer to his
wants. if any needed. The young
man asked what day of the week it
was, and was told it was Friday.
Some time after another friend went
up to see him and he asked the same
question, what day of the week was
it?' Upon informing him that it was
Friday, he said: Isn't Friday never
going to give out? Will Friday last
all the time?" I imagine snakes,
rats, lions and all kinds of things were
after him.

TO INTRODUCE OWL
 GAR ORDINANCE
ALDERMAN FRANK w. SMITH THINKS CARS SHOULD RUN AT LEAST ONCE AN HOUR AFTER MIDNIGHT.

Birmingham will probably have au- nlsat eafs F a t,so.-.t9n t5 he iatre- duced at the next council meeting is adopted, and it is believed that it will be.
 This resolution will require the Sir mingham Railway, Light and Power company to operate cars at least once an hour between the departure of the last cars from town 10 the various sec tions of the city anywhere from mid night to 12;30 a. m. snd the first cars starting out from the barns from 3:3O to 4:So o'clock a. m. The last cars now reach the barns anywhere from 1 until a. m It Is pointed out that It would require only the running of a car for about two hours longer on each line.
 There has been a sentiment through out Greater Birmingham for a number of years that owl cars should be run on the various street car lines, but ow- ing to the varied array If municipal tiles the effort to have them operated always met with failure. Now that all of the different towns nave been merged into Birmingham it is believed that 1t will find favorable attention awaiting it at the hands of the Birmingham alder men.
 Many of the members of the Board of Aldermen have expressed themselves as being in favor of it. It is pointed out that a person living in Avondaie, Wood lawn, East Lake, North Birmingham, North Haven, Elyton, Graymont. Fair view, West End. Pratt City, Ensley and Bessemer are in a bad fix when they happen to miss their last car
 When the matter was brought up before the officials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company they stated that 1t would be impossible for them to op- crate the cars as they had the repair crews out on the lines after midnight.
 This resolution will be introduced by Alderman Frank W. Smith, who steered Elyton so successfully during his admin istration as mayor. He is introducing it at the request of many people and is himself greatly in favor of the owl cars, having resided in Elyton all of his life and having missed the last car a few times himself.

STRENGTH Without Overlooking the Stomach.

The business man, especially, needs food in the morning that will not over load the stomach, but give mental vigor for the day.
 Much depends on the start a man gets each day. as to how he may expect to accomplish the work on hand.
 He can't be alert with heavy, fried meat-and-potatoes breakfast requiring lot of vital energy In digesting it.
 California business man tried to find some food combination that would not overload the stomach in the morn ing, but that would produce energy.
 He writes:
 For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain business man with out overlooking his stomach, causing indigestion and kindred ailments.
 Being a very busy and also very nervous man. I decided to give up breakfast altogether But luckily I was induced to try Grape-Nuts.
 Since that morning I have been new man; can work with out tiring, my head is clear and my nerves strong and quiet.
 q find four teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts with one of sugar and a small quantity of cold milk, make a delicious morning meal, which invigorates me for the days business"
 Read the little book, "The Road to wellville," in pkgs. There's a Reason. Ever read the above letter. A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Interest

ANOTHER BIG FOG
 HANGS OVER CITY

For the second time within week Birmingham has been visited by fog which for denseness out-rivals the famous London variety. It proceeded to settle early in the night and by midnight was so thick that street arc lights appeared as but glimmering candles 100 feet away and were hid altogether In less than half a blocks distance.
 . The fog did not appear to be satisfied with the heavy coat 1t had thrown over the town by the hour of 12 and continued to settle at an even greater rate, and prospects are good for a "six-foot-fog" by daybreak. Last Wednesday morning was marked by an extremely heavy fog. 1t being impossible for a person on the inside of a sidewalk to discern any one standing on the curb. There were a number of accidents on account of the fog that morning and last night was also marked by few but none proved to be serious. Two automobiles ran into each other, but no damage was done as the ma chimes were travelling at a slow pace A man was also hit by an automobile at the same corner a moment afterwards but was not knocked to the ground and stated that he was not hurt.
