FELL CITY TURNS OUT BIC CROWD
 
St. Clair Citizens Prove En- thusiastic Over Visit of
 Good Roads Train

Pe1l City, May 19.-(Special )-The southern good roads train reached Pen City Thursday night and this morning promptly at S:30 the demonstration car was opened to the public. From that hour until noon steady stream of citizens poured through the two cars, taking in all matters of interest.
 Owing to the size of the crowd the lecture car had to be abandoned for the speaking so the courthouse was utilized. The most representative crowd of business men ever assembled here greeted the speakers, Hurlbert Wells, Winslow and Kellar. The train pulled out at 130 p. m., when the visitors expressed themselves as highly grati- fled at results accomplished here and in the work being done by this county in good roads construction.
 Chairman Henderson of the state railroad commission spent several hours in Pell City Wednesday. A business meeting of citizens was held at the city hall when local railroad questions and complaints were considered. Chair man Henderson felt that certain changes should be made here owing to the volume of business transacted and felt confident the several railroads would readily respond to his recom- mendations.
 Messrs. Dolp Brown and Bill Vinces of Attalla are here today considering this point as a possible location for a big slave and heading mill they expect to start up shortly. A very attractive proposition has been submitted by the commercial club, including a free site, free water and a liberal cash subscrip- ton to the stock of the concern.
 Miss Walker of West Blocton has been elected as teacher in the primary grades in the Pell City school for next year.
 The closing exercises of the local high school yesterday and today were largely attended and the programme was pleasing throughout reflecting credit upon Prof. L. K. Benson and his assistants, Miss Gunter and Miss Kill groe.
 St. Clair county was the first in Ala bama to appropriate $2000 and ask state the highway commission for two miles of model road.
 The experimental road being con- structed by the United States govern ment experts here isNgoing to cost sev- eral thousand dollars, The money being paid out of the town treasury. The half mile will take something like one month to complete as the grade is very heavy and will be cut to per cent.

At meeting of the city council last night the officers of the newly organized humane society introduced two ordinances looking to the protection of t~e animals of the city against cruel treatment by the vicious or careless who have them in charge. The matter has gone to the com mittee and will likely be acted upon at the next regular meeting. The Gulf Re- fining company, one of the principal competitors of the Standard Oil, asked permission to locate a storage house in the city. This was also referred to the judiciary Ncommittee and will be acted on later.

The jury trying Walter Uptain in the criminal court, charged with assault with intent to murder, returned a verdict late last night, or rather early this morning. finding the defendant guilty of assault and assessing his fine at $175. Much in terest was taken in the trial from the fact that Uptain left the court room couple of days ago just before the jury was ready to report and could not be found The jury was discharged and the bond of the defendant forfeited and the case set down for trial again.

IS LAVISH IN FuRs
SEASONS FASHION DEMANDS
THE MOST LUXURIOUS.
Increased Popularity Of Motoring Calls
Forth Fur Coats Of Entirely New
Type-Proves Parlsiennes
Leaders Of Fashion.

Nothing is too luxurious In furs!
This season fashion simply demands
the best.
Just another instance that proves
that Parisiennes are leaders of fash
ion. Last summer fair Frenchwomen
wore stoles of ermine with lingerie
frocks-regardless Of heat or cold.
Now, that winter is here, heavy fur
garments are their whim.
The increased popularity Of motor
ing has called forth fur coats of an
entirely new type. These garments
are fashioned on the lines of smart
mannish topcoats and, of course,
unique furs were necessary to make
the vogue success-as every one al
ways wantc something different.
Leopard skim antelope and baby deer
are quite the most popular, although
pony skin and raccoon are also note
worthy.
Fur-lined coats for motoring, as Of
yore, are favored by conservative
women. These luxurious topcoats are
mostly of heavy broadcloth, lined with
squirrel and with large shawl collar
Of skunk or Persian lamb.
Caracal coats OF generous length
are most befitting for shopping and
daily events. Broadtail and Persian
lamb are also included In the same
category.
Evening coats-also worn for for
NAL afternoon affairs-are simply
superb.
Full length coats of Russian sable
or ermine are the most Gueenly One
exquisite coat recently seen was OF
snowy ermine with broad band of
skunk around the bottom, which
curved gracefully at each side of the
front Sable and. ermine are fire.
quently combined, while white fox
and sealskin is another joyous har-
mony.
Muffs are simply enormous and alb
solutely fiat. Indeed, some are so
large and flimsy that they are almost
burdensome. Quite the most extreme
styles have wide centers of Persian
silk, or velvet, with wide bands Of
fur. The large stoles to match are
fashioned likewise, only SO wide that
they are more like shawls than mere
neckpieces. These particular modes
were created by Madame Agnes and
Parisiennes have thoroughly approved
them.
Women of moderate tastes are quite
satisfied with the round and pillow
mnffs OF conservative size, and stoles
of usual proportions.

A Showing Which Cannot

Over 30 per cent of the insurance
sold by this company during 1910 was
purchased by men who were already
policy holders in tho company.
The Wisconsin Insurance Report for
1910, page Al, shows that during the
previous year the thirteen companies
reporting, other than the Northwestern.
made net gain in insurance in force
IN the state of S6,293,5l4 while the
Northwestern alone gained there
S3,4l 1888. AND THIS IS THE
NORTHWESTERN s HOME STATE.
Now, take New York state, the home
of thirteen COMPANIES The New York
report pages III aud 40, shows that
these thirteen New York companies
gained in insurance in force in their
home state in 1909 only $1s,967 ,929,
while the Northwestern gained in New
York during the same year Sll,33l ,16l,
In total business in force in all states,
