 Not Circus Riders

(wren by M. F. Mccarty sesrshtReese Furniture co)
 A good many years ago Methodist Conference was held in Union Springs, Ala. When boarding the train to go home gentleman In the car asked wlfo the crowd entering the ear were and was told that they were ''Crcuit Riders. Thinking his informant said ''Circus Ridersp he launched into open and broad denmciation of those parasites who fed so heavily on the communities taking money out of every community and leaving nothing but demoral zation behind. What was this good mans chagrm when told his mistake, and he was quick to say that the Circuit Rider was the best friend to the ity, and did more not only to build up the moral but the material interests of the nation.
 Hs Now the old man is writing this and you must listen to him and believe what he says when he pro nounces that those who preach the Truth do more than any other to promote the prosperity of the tion The man who teaches the Golden Rule, or rath- CT what is better the Christ rule does more to pre- serve and build the nation than all other institutions combined It will teach to treat fairly all our public institutions all peoples rich or poor, which is the surest way to national greatness So we welcome the North Alabama Conference and Searlght Reese take off their hats and salute them as the men who build and Save the stae-who do to pay for the place they hold in the world than all the business and manufacturers combined We are glad to have them among us. The city is safe while they are among us. The old man who is writing this will be glad to see his old friends among them he loves the Methodist preachers above any class under the sun
 But the Methodsts of Birmingham will lose much as this Conference terminates the ministry of quite number of tue ministers Their full service to the churches and people of this city shall produce fruit in the years to come. True Brother Branscomb did hold Hades up before before lie left ls but he also gave tis Heaven in splendid sermon fu of Script ural truth and, consolation. Many thanks to these brethren Welcome to the Conferences Hope that youwill enjoy every session here.

An Artistic Recital.
de-

The recital last evening was one
of the most thoroughly artistic
entertainments ever given in the
city Surely the most critical
would have to lay aside criticism
and shout Bravo! Bravo after
hearing the exquisite numbers rem
dered
Every number on the program
was enthusiastically encored and
most of them were responded to-
out were loud in their praises of
the young gentlemen's work and
expressed their praise in the sup
erlative degree to Mrs. Sam Sand
ers, who might be termed the bus
mess manager for the parties who
are to appear. A number of the
leading musicians fingered long af-
ter the closing notes were heard
and Mr.. Rosenfeld appreciated the
compliments received as he was
told that he was the best viollnist
who had ever appeared in Cleburne
and that means, he's an extra
artist.
Mr.. Losh is one of the most ac-
complished pianists who has ap-
peared here. He plays with per-
feet ease, has a most splendid tech
nique. The tonal effects of var
ious pieces gave evidence of most
intelligent conception of the num-
bers.
Mr.. Losh's accomplishments are
not confined to his instrumental
work but he has melodious bar
itone voice. His enunciation was
very clear and the Interpretation
| of each of the songs was quite
acceptable.
