TOM LONG TELLS
 ANOTHER STORY

The irrepresslble Tom Long of Jasper was in the city yesterday and in speak ing to number of friends said he had been repeatedly asked by acquaintances if he knew the reason that Milton Smith and other Louisville and Nashville offi- cials and attorneys were in Montgomery and the cause of the conference they replied by relating the story of Dick Brown and his dog Bulger.
 Dick lived nearby a wooded tract of land. much infested by wolves. They caused him much annoyance by their depredations, so he decided to purchase fine wolf dog to chase them away. The dog was shipped to him by a dealer who guaranteed him to whip his weight in wildcats or anything else that walked on four feet. He was magnificent spec imen and answered to the name of Bull ger
 When Bulger was turned loose he lived up to his reputation. About half Of the dogs in town were minus either an eye or an ear within few days after Bull gers arrival and advent on the streets of the village. One day a report came that a great big gray wolf was seen in the woods. so Dick took him out and started him on the trail. Bulger disap- peared and after waiting suitable time Dick decided to look up his dog and wit ness the finish of the wolf.
 Striking a trail through the woods Dick came to some blood and hair and a piece of a tall, while the ground gave evidence of a pretty lively scrap. Neither Bnleer Tor the wolf was in sight Going on a piece further he met an acquaintance and the following conversation took place:

COMMISSIONERS
 HOLD MEETING Bowron Complaint Regard ing Dust Considered.
 Will Oil Road

A brief session of the board of com missioners was held yesterday afternoon, at which very little business outside of the passing of bills and the other rou- tine work was transacted.
 President Exum was instructed to in- vestgate the possibility of the city fur nishing the residents near Idlewild park with water for domestic purposes from the spring located on the park property, which is owned by the city, and to ad- just a schedule of water rates.
 The attention of the commissioners was called to the letter of James Bowron. urging the oiling of the road between the city and the ball park. Mir Weatherly stated that the recent rains had made it necessary to do little preliminary repair work and that the road would be oiled az 1t was last year. The commissioner suggested that in the face of the recent heavy rains it was impossible to do much outside work and that the street department was doing it's best to repair the damages caused by the continuous downpour.

Convention Big Success

The convention held here this year was considered and proclaimed by most of the delegates as having been the best one ever held by the association. Many doc tors from every corner of the state were in attendance and the scientific papers and general addresses were of the most benefit to the members of the profession. Several papers were read at the session yesterday morning.
 The social features of the convention were such as would appeal to the most exaeting person. The barbecue Thursday afternoon at East Lake was one of the best entertainments ever held in the south, without exception. The doctors heartily enjoyed the outing and were loud in their praise of it, The reception and dance at the Iillman hotel was sa grand success and the several luncheons were very good. The ladies were well cared for by d special committee of Birmingham ladies. There was a visit to the Orpheum in place of the intended auto ride. which was postponed on account of the bad weather. And then there was luncheon at the Country club that was widely praised by the visiting ladies.
 Not thing was lacking in entertain ment. The doctors left Birmingham with sense of regret at having to de- part so soon, and one of the most sue cessful and beneficial conventions ever held thus passed into history. but will live in the memories of the physicians for many years to come.
