The Dynamitins of Fishing streams

'The vandals have destroyed thousands of fish in the streams in this section, - said Percy Clark. "The game and fish commissioner needs to get busy and if the wardens already appointed cannot catch lip with the destroyers of fish he should employ detectives. There are many trout streams, picturesque in sur roundings and ideal for game fish in north Alabama, but alas In the night time one of those fellows who cares nothing for laws, property rie'ats, or the happiness of his fellowman, will slip into forbidden ground and dynamite the haunts of fish. killing everything in the hole. big and little. He destroys not only the present sport, but seals the future prospect in that spot for two or three years.

"I am agreeably surprised at Birming- hams handsome appearance" said Cliff ton H. Marvin of New York.
 q first visited this city in 1884. Its pop ulation was only about 10000 or 12,000 then. It was poorly built and looked somewhat like an overgrown mining town Great changes have been wrought in 25 years. Birmingham has not only made phenomenal gains in population but it has a metropolitan air and Is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Its business district makes pleasing impression and as for It's residence sec- tions they are strikingly beautiful"
