 The following committee was appoint ed by Captain Crook to go to Birming- ham and accompany Colonel Roosevelt to Bessemer: Mayor l. A. Lewis, Post master G. R. Lewis, F. W. Sterling, W. J. Long and Capt. John McEniry.

The speaking will commence without any ceremony when the train rolls into Bessemer Friday night.
