Why There Was No Invitation

But here is fact which should make a par ticularly deep impression. A few days ago meeting of a southern branch associa- tion of manufacturers of certain con- modity was held in Baltimore, and when the question of a place for holding the next meeting was up for consideration a gate from Birmingham and asked: How Is 1t that your city (pointing at him) is not putting in bid for our next meet ing?

 GOO Last years census gave us 132, ,6S5, but this body of manufacturers is made up entirely of men who are used to stop ping at s1,oo0.G0O hotels and paying swell prices. Birmingham hasn't hotel of the class referred to, but a project is on foot to supply the need, and in course of time we will lead other southern cities in this respect, but until our new hotel IS in course of construction I would not feel justified in inviting you gentlemen to Birminghank

They met re- gently in Atlanta, and the cities that were pressing for the next meeting sub foot to supply the need, and in the course Augusta. Richmond and Norfolk.

THE ROSE AND THE GARDENER

By Austin Dobson. The Rose in the garden slipped her bud. And she laughed in the pride of her
 youthful blood, As she thought of the Gardener standing
 by "He Is old-so old! And he soon must
 die.' The full Rose waxed in the warm June
 air, And she spread and spread till her heart
 lay bare: And she laughed once more as she heard
 his tread .He is older now! He will soon be dead" But the breeze of the morning blew, and
 found That the leaves of the blown Rose
 strewed the ground; And he came at noon, that Gardener old, And he raied them gently under the
 mold And wove the thing to a random rhyme. For the Rose is Beauty. the Gardener.

One day a drover came along the

stopped at the Black Bear Inn, and
engaged pasture for his cattle over

several hundred dollars, to John Hartz

the drover was out attending TO his

to John of changing the good money
in the pocket book for an equal
amount Of counterfeit that he had on
hand. John was easily persuaded He
thought his step-father knew best. In
the morning the drover received his
pocket, book and proceeded to count
its contents. He at once saw that
those he had been carrying He
pulled a counterfeit detector from his
pocket and examined them. Having
satisfied himself that they were bad,
he charged John with having substi-
