BY HIGH w. ROBERTS

Hamilton, November 9.-(Special)-- The citizens of Marion county after having lain dormant for more than 90 years, during which time the talent of magnificent resources was buried in the ground, have become at last aroused to the value of commercial activity.
 Within another decaae it is not be- yond the realm of probability that Ma rion will have surged to the front as one of the really important counties of the state The development to matur- ity of the germ of popular pride which is alive today will send an engine with train of cars crashing along the But tahatchee, will transform the latent power of innumerable streams into electric current, will draw the super abundance. of water through pipes for homes ana industries, will people the hills with enterprising folk, and make valuable the countless acres of terri tory that are at present barren.
 The people of Marion, chiefly through the influence exerted on the younger generation by the West Alabama Agrl- cultural school, have grown dissatis- fled with strictly rural conditions and are beginning to yearn for the lux uries to which the natural endowment of the county entities them.
 Awakening of the People
 It is marvellous that the people of Marion county have done so little. The climate is superb. The soil is naturally rich, readily receiving and retaining fertilization. It's hills are lined with coal and iron. It's building stone is sufficient to home the people of the entire state in magnificent dwellings,. It has innumerable streams, narrow and deep, running as if purposely ar hanged for the generation of power.
 And yet Marion county is almost as it was 40 years ago. Hamilton tho county site, and possibly the lar gest community, has no more than 5OC people. The Frisco railroad rushcs through the extreme southern portion of the county, it's accommodation trains stopping at Winfield and Guin. Tie Illinois Central and Alabama Northern pass through the northern portion of the county, accommodation trains stopping at Hackleburg. With the exception of a branch line of the Frisco from Winfield to Brilliant the above comprises the total railroad fla cilites of the entire county.
 Hamilton has for long years been content with a mail service twice a day by carriage and with four rural
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-10

free delivery routes to still smaller communities. The county has even neg lected it's roads. A superb courthouse and the West Alabama Agricultural school at Hamilton, together with tha mining of coal at Brilliant, are aI- parently the only touches of higher civilization which Marion county, with all it's latent power, has received.
 At the present time, however, the peo- | pie are getting wide awake and are pre-
 1 pairing to do something. The first move | will be the construction of magnificent roat, from Hamilton to Guin, the arrange
 ments for the financing of which have been completed. Work is being done al the present time towards the accquistion | of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern railroad which John Cochrane is con- 1 structing from Mobile to Tuscumbia A | commercial club has been organized al l Hamilton. and it's members are enthus- | iastic. Unless something occurs to dam- pen this enthusiasm, the big giant with magnificent natural endowments will &C., complish much in the near future

l Girard, November 9-(Special. At the {, quarterly meeting held at the First Meth
 odlst church last night, Rev. w. J. Price was appointed to supply the pulpit til l the meeting of the conference in Decem- Der. The new pastor is quite acceptable to :he congregation.
 Capt Edward C. Perry of Glennville, this county, died Tuesday morning of acute indigestion. Captain Perry was one of the wealthiest and most prominent cit izens or this section of the state. He l:vcd in his palatial residence at Glenn vile in ente-bellum style, and was a Christian gentleman of the old school. He went into the war between the states as 6 private, boy of +. and before the end of the struggle had risen by sheer
 bravery and devotion to duty to be cap | tain of his company.

Well, fo.. the simple reason that 4

and the Portland Power and Develop

no power. This is exactly what hap
pened one night recently and the lights

reserved for the escape OF the fish IS
now dry enough TO plant. The L. +.

Ter and are doing all they can TO save
tie fish. though they are under no
obligation whatever so To do.
A screen has been placed slant wise
from Il point up the stream to the
waste gate ON the west side and the
Company leaves this waste gate open
every minute they possibly cap and
not lose their power. In this way,
hundreds Of thousands eff fsh have
been saved. The municipal officers OF
Nobleboro have considered the prob
lem and have put in lots of time and
thought and are cooperating with the

many as possible of tne fry. Bat, at
best, the thousands of gallons of raw

For instance. the expense of the Com

That Easy Meal.

DIR. Herr is an advocate of a meal
consisting of fruit in one meal once
day. so that their acids will not inter
fere with the digestion of the starches
of the other meals Furthermore, DIR.
Herr thinks that two meals a day are
better than three even for children.
and that fruit when eaten should be
quite ripe. He is of the opinion and.
no doubt, rightly SO, that fruit is often
eaten in northern countries, into which
it is imported. before it is in a fit con-
dition. that Is. properly ripe. OF ba-
nanas he says that when yellow they
are not ready for consumption, but
that one should wait until the skin
becomes wholly spotted and about
ready TO fall from the stem. Again
grapefruit is not appreciated as IL
should be because it is eaten too early
in the stage of curing. Raw fruits
have the advantage over cooked fruits
in that their abundant salts are pres
ent in an organized form and when
thus taken into the system are fully
appropriated and wonderfully improve
the quality of the blood. For rheu-
matism a fruit meal even three
times day proves TO the cells over
burdened with tissue acids veritable
life preserver. There are certain
oriental fruits, such as figs and dates.
which require a brief form of cooking.
and there are some fruits which can
be eaten without harm with other
food. But the point Of the article Is
that in order to reap the greatest
benefit from eating fruit it should be
eaten by itself.-Dr. A. w. Herr in The
pfetetic and HYGIENE Gazette.
