expected for some time the friends of
Judge Nesmith having picked him out for
the race and insisted upon his entering
the race.
The announcement followed a number
of quiet conferences which have been
held by Judge Nesmith and his political
advisers, and everything was carefully
considered before a decision to announce
for the place was arrived at. His en-
trance into the field makes a formidable
opponent for any other seeker for the
place.
Judge Nesmith was practically raised in
a law office. his father having been
distinguished member of the bar of Ala
bama for many years. He was educated
at the University of Alabama, graduating
with the class of 1894. He started the
practice of law at Vernon, Lamar coun-

sumo a position among the leaders of his
profession in west Alabama.
He was elected a member of the con-
stitutional convention of 1901 and was as
signed to duty on the most important
committee, the Judiciary In the fall of
1902 the people of that section, recognize
ing his services in the constitutional con-
vention, elected him as a member of the
state senate. where he was again APP
pointed a member of the judiciary COM
mittee He served on this committee with
many of the most distinguished lawyers
in the state and rendered valuable aid in
putting the new and untried constitution
into operation.
After the session of that legislature had
adjourned Judge Nesmth removed to Bir-
mingham and devoted himself to the prac-
tice of law. On January {, 1902. he was
appointed by Governor Jellzs as temporary
judge of the city court of Birmingham,
and on February IS of the same year was
elected by the Legislature to the judgeship
of the city court, new judgeship Great
ed by that body.
Under the constitution it was necessary
for Judge Nesmith to so before the peo-
Pile of Jefferson county for the full term
of six years, and he was returned to the
bench by an exceptionally heavy vote.
In making his announcement Judge Ne
smith has the Endorsement of practically
the entire bar of Jefferson county. Pc
titions indorsng him for the place have
been circulated by his friends, and these
petitions bear the name of practically
every prominent lawyer in the city.

There is a good old lady living not

of cards as a menace to the soul OF

her daughters home, where she re-
sides, and the person convicted OF In

On the family sewing table grand
ma and the young man were playing
an exciting game They were using a
pack of cards designed for a game
known as Our Feathered Friends"
and a dish of beans. On each card
was the picture of a different kind
of bird
Presently grandma, in an excited
tone piped up:
Now, Buddy, you forgot to ante
again"
Father became interested. Grand
ma staid up until nine o'clock, half an
hour past her bedtime, and when she
reluctantly arose she said:
