The Approach of Hunting season

Now that the bracing air of au- tumn is quickening the blood of men and driving the sap downward, mak- ing the leaves of trees turn red and brown. the hunter begins to talk of the field for birds or the fox chase" said Percy Clark.
 '1 am planning a sort of revival or reunion of the members of the Cahaba Hunt club for the coming month. Early in November some of us propose to run the reds out about New Castle with a young pack of about 20 dogs. Of course therell be enough of the old standbys to keep the race going for few hours even if we don't have killing Messrs. Ellard have stocked the runs with reds for the past three years and already there have been some very good races. The moon will be just right the first week in No- vember to start the race about D. m. and then-we1l, possibly we will come back to the city at 12 or 1 o'clock and then it may be the wee sma' hours for those who stay to see the finish.
 If everything goes well about Thanksgiving day we will start about o'clock for another run which will make 10 o'clock breakfast taste good to those who participate"

Crestore Tomorrow

No lover of fine music should fail to hear Creatore's band at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow afternoon and night.
 Those who heard Cretore when he was here several years ago will certainly en- deavor to hear him again, and those who have not heard him should strain point the concerts. Creatore has one of the tn econDerts. Cretore has one of the greatest bands in the world, some think it the greatest of all.

His First Visit south

Louis s. Blahd of Cleveland who rep
 resents large manufacturing concern
 of that city, is in Bir1nie egifsan. He Is visiting the south for the first time.
 '.yes, this is my first trip ssuta of tue Ohio,' said MT. Bland. ''I was long enough in Tennessee to form a pretty goed idea of business condfsons there. Everything in that state looked prosper ous
 q am well pleased with the looks ef Birmingham and ' would say that busi- ness was brisk here. I am aa optiniist and I come from an optimistic city Cleveland is always fleuFshing. It is an iron center, as every one knows. and the metals trade Is dull new. This de- pression might be felt seriously if our people were disposed to croas and give up. But when dulfness is the rule in the industrial worlS, there is always something doing in Cleveland. Our ship ping interests are kept busy. The iron companies keep active by piling up ore that will be needed some sMe in the fu- lure. That is doubtless tle way it is in the Birmingham disAlct
 From all accounts. theN has been a wonderful awakening in the south, es- peeially in the rural districts. Southern agriculture is said to be making great strides and I am glad of it. But in looking out of the car window the fss'n houses and implements I saw did. not seem to be up to the modern standard.
 "One thing that a northetne notices particularly along the line of the south ern railroads, is the unpainted wooden buildings in the small towns. I observed one village not far north of Birmingham that was altogether paintless. or counse such things make bad impression on strangers. About 20 years ago the rep resentatiye of a big paint factory in Eleveland-SherWin, Williams & Cos, passed through the town of Whitehouse. Ohio, about 20 miles from Toledo. IL had then population of something like 800. All the houses were of wood and not single dwelling had ever been paint ed. A paint salesman narrated the facts about Whitehouse to his employers; they said they would paint the town white so that it's name would be no longer joke. And that is what they did. Sherwin, Williams & Co.,, without charge, painted every shack in Whitehouse, and every house was painted white and the blinds were painted green. The combination white and green-gave a pleasing effect. This free job was a fine advertisement for Sherwin. Williams & Co. The town has been white ever since. It now has a population of about 5ooo and is clean and attractive. The most conspicuous sign in Whitehouse is that of the firm that presented every house with It's paint. It doesn't pay to build a frame house and let it stand unpainted. If some contemplating paint company in this part of the country, would initiate the Cleveland concern and give the shabby little houses coats of paint, 1t would make a hit.'

An Indlau's Vanity

Lillian Buckingham, who is starring in "The Stampede at the Bijou, is well acquainted with the characteris- tics of the red man. His love for bau- bles and his vanity is we'll illustrated in the following story Miss Bucking- ham tells. She was born and raised in the golden west" Her father was for years political editor of the Los An geles Record and her grandfather was one of the original forty-niners.
 Tt was at the time when I was a very small girl and we lived adja- cent to a. tribe of Indians," said Miss Buckingham, "and they were consid- cred none too friendly I was repeat edly admonished never to go far away from home and when I saw an Indian to run as hard as I could. At this time I possessed very beautiful ostrich feather and I was only allowed to wear it on gala occasions and at intervals to church.
 'The day I speak of was a beautiful Sunday and 1 wore the feather with all the pride of youngster, for such adornments were very scarce in that out of the way place. I was return ing home after services and well on my way. when my day dreams were interrupted by the noise of approach ing horses and turning around I saw a number of Indians coming my way. The thoughts of being scalped or burned at the stake took immediate possession of me and I started fer home as fast as my legs would take me. l was frightened half to death and oh, how I did run and as I gained the steps of the house I tainted .throug,l exhaustion and fright When I regaincd consciousness the Indians were all around me calmly admiring the ostrich feather. Ugh, Indian like: Indian want It is needless to say that they didn't get it."
