MISS MAUD
 Among the many assets which BlrnnG- ham possesses, the one of which she is most proud is her woment
 In very line of work, the brlliancy and cleverness of Birmingham women is known: in music, art, literature, chari- ties, you will find the women of Birmng- ham pre-eminent
 Among those who have achieved a most enviable reputation is Miss Maud Mcclure Kelly.
 In a recent number of Lesles Weekly Miss Kelly was most charmingly writ ten up as Birminghams brilliant woma n lawyer. a distinction which she enjoys and which Is at once unique and distinc- tive.
 Miss Kelly is very charming and worl- anly. and at glance you'd never associ- ate her with anything so practical as the law. In fact, she's the last person in the world that you'd think would choose the law as profession, but back of her frail. physical charm there is brain of i'm mense proportion, and whenever she has appeared before the supreme court of Alabama, her arguments have been em- phasized by their thoroughness clarity and profound learning, at once appealing and convincing.
 In addition to her profession Miss Kelly has undertaken a big work when she ac- cepted the state presidency, in the early spring, of the United States Daughters of 1872.

Historically, 1t is a memorial which everybody in this section of the country is interested in, and the best part Of 1t is that 1t is a memorial which the living shall profit by while do- ing honor to the dead.'
 The route has been arranged as near as possible to traverse the section of tie country through which Andrew Jackson led his forces, suggested, questlonngly.
 ''As a matter of fact" replied Miss Kelly, we mean to include in the Jack son highway every inch of ground that Is possible which is of historical value. aid for internal improvements, believing
