 Major Hanson and Colonel DeBarde- leben had been friends for many years and were very near each other. The death of the latter affected Major Han son very much indeed
 ''I sympathze with Birmingham in his loss." said Major Hanson. "He was one of the bravest spirits here and his en- couragement and optimism will be sadly missed in this district. He was of a temperament that made men brave and he possessed knack of getting at things which was seemingly gift from above I was deeply grieved that he should have been taken from us. However. he served three-score years of usefulness and did more than one mans share in creating this wonderful district
 Major Hanson was the guest last night of Mir. and Mrs. Ross C. Smith at their country home near East Lake. He will be here today and will leave this after noon for Atlanta Major Hanson has a wide circle of friends in Birmingham who welcome him here at all times and who will be pleased to know that he Is very much improved in health. He was des- Ierateiy i'll for several months during the summer.
