as Montevallo, on a mound in val ley. The name is Italian.
 The town was first incorporated by the legislature in 1S47. In 1853 the Southern railroad, then known as the Alabama and Tennessee River railroad, was com pleted to Montevallo, making this one of the most important shipping points in the interior of the state. The place be- came the shipping point for Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Blount, Walker, St. Clair, Tal- ladega and even Calhoun counties.
 Elyton was one of the nearest neigh bors of this pioneer town and the mer- chants of the embryo Birmingham shipped all their goods in and their products out by way of Montevallo.
 Montevallo is two miles from the geo. graphical center of the state. There is not an automobile owned in the town. though the streets and roads of the town and community are above the average. The lack of automobiles is not from lack of wealth. Bradstreet and Dunn give some of these merchants first-class rat ing and some of the citizens have retired with enough money put away to buy as many as three beefsteaks as well as a small flock of automobiles.
 L. N. Majors is the incoming mayor of the town. He is a young man. hand some and popular, though still unmar- ried.
 He is progressive and before his cleo tion by almost unanimous vote repeated a threat that if he was elected he would give the towns conservatism a shaking up that it would not soon forget. He wants an electric light plant, a good school building. water works and better sidewalks and streets.
 JJa mi tho peon1e on notice a tO wh f they might expect and he is now, though not yet in office, casting about for plans to carry out his threats. He says he will not be in a hurry but will build for permanency.
 What Nat Nabors says he will do he will do, and the people know it. They seem to have absolute confidence in him and appear to be willing to try the shock he has promised.
 Though Nat" was born in January after the cyclone I was unable to dis cover why he is still single.

Shoots at Reflection

An unknown man made rough house of Hatchers barber shop on Monday when he shattered the big mirror in an effort to plug his own shadow. R. O.. Brooks and Joe Partin entered the shop and one of them pulled gun and shot into the mirror. It was not possible to tell which, so both were taken to the police station. The shots created great deal of excitement

construction they unluckily spent one party consisted of one or two of the promoters of the roads.
 In an evil hour after the sun had gone down beyond the red clay hills of Bibb county this surveying party was induced | to take a walk up the creek that runs through the town by a number of the leading and official citizens of the town. Under a bluff on the creek not far from the town the party, it is alleged, engaged in poker game that lasted until after midnight. To cheer the game and keep the boys encouraged the Montevallo men fed them alopathic doses of original mountain dew brewed and distilled in the hills near by
 The result was that the railroad men lost their heads and their small change. To add insult to injury, 1t is said that after there remained no further 'tak- ngsn in the pot the railroad promo ters and builders were put to bed in the town jug
 Next day they were naturally sore and when they were permitted they continued their journey, but set no more stakes.
 They waited patiently until the next meeting of the legislature and had the charter amended to read, 'to cross the Selma, Rome and Dalton road at or near Montevallo." Calera was considered near and Calera got the road.
 Montevallo tried to appear indifferent. The road was "sour grapes" anyway. It would kill more COWS and chickens than it would be worth and they were glad the old road was moved
 In these latter days Montevallo gets a of tfcfo ;,, tl,a ing that the Louisville and Nashville "bit off it's nose to spite its face.'' It deserted one of the best mineral sections In the state between Montevallo and Bir- mingham and traversed ridge of line lodges that has never produced as much tonnage as might have been developed along the original survey This may be true and it may not be true Both in- terests are trying to be satisfied with their hard lot.
 It is said that Montevallo lost the state capitol at one time by one vote. And 1t is claimed by some who perhaps feel a little sore that that vote was purchased with bottle of whisky.
 Another epoch in the history of the town was the cyclone of November 23, 1874. The storm came about midnight and almost entirely demolished the strug-
  pie. There were many miraculous es- capes Many of the older people now liv- ing in the town and community remember the catastrophe.
 Another notable epochsof the town was the removal of the State university from Montevallo to Tuscaloosa just before building construction was ready to be- gin.
 Congress, in the act admitting the state of Alabama to the. union in 1873, made a munifcent grant of public lands 72 sections, 46OS0 acres) to the state in trust for a university. The land was se- lected from the public lands about Monte vallo
 The town of Montevallo was laid off by the first president of the State uni versity. the Rev. Ava Woods, D. D. The town had been known as Wilson's Mill, but was rechristened by President Woods
