 morning session of court adjourned for that purpose and reconvened at 2 o'clock
 Blackwell's speech was along the usual lines of all his speeches in the district. A large crowd was present
 and the utmost good humor prevailed.
 He introduced his method of govern
 siasm. While this Is conceded to be
 a Richardson stron ghold. yet Blackwell
 made many friends and as he was leaving expressed himself much gratified over the situation throughout the entire district as every day was
 advancing his nomination..
 Negotiations are being made with Alvin Roper, the pianist of F. o. Ex- cell, to stop at Florence while en route to the state Sunday school convention Circuit court convened Monday morn | ing at 9 o'clock. The grand and petit | juries were organized and Judge AL mons charge to the grand jury in | regard to ferretting out crime and se- curing indictments was as strong as could be made. A large crowd of peo- | pie from the country, lawyers from | all over the district and the regular court attachees were in attendance at | the opening session, and the docket will be cleared before the adjournment of the four weeks session.
 The subject of better fire equipmen, was taken up at the council meeting | this week. The expense of new mo- | tor fire machine was considered too
 great for the city finances at this time and the committee was instructed to | purchase another Norman horse to match the one already owned by the | city, buy additional hose lengths and establish an automatic fire alarm This
 met with the unqualified sanction of | T. A. Howell, chief of fire department, whose efforts to have the fire depart ment improved have been indefagitable With tlfree well organized Underwood clubs in the Tri-Cities 1t would seem that Lauderdale and Colbert counties were falling into line and catching step with other Alabama counties who arv HldTcHluS 10 NlciOTlOuS nOnllflatlOn or

 of the United States.
 Chairman Taylor Goodwin notified
 Underwood's friends in the Tri-Cities

 murder has been committed since the last term of circuit court.
 Florence is building up rapidly. The
 new government building will com

 ing in north Alabama. The dormtory
 to the State Normal college will soon
 be under headway, and several new
 residences are being finished up. Spring
 trade has opened up. better than for
 years past.
