Little Fertilizer Handled Although the season for the work Is far advanced but little of the fertilizer needed on the farms of the county has been hauled to the country as yet. The reason is the unusually heavy condition of the roads that has prevailed during | the time this work is generally done The | roads at present are unfit for the hauling; of heavy loads and some drying weather will be required before much of the fer tlizer will be moved.
 Need Police Protection At the meeting of the council at Ala bama City last night an ordinance was introduced looking to the proper police protection of the ball park. The Gads- den park is located within the limits of ' the mill village and police protection has heretofore been lacking. There is no doubt that the measure will be enacted and that protection will be had this sea | son.
 Schools Closed The schools of the city were closed this evening and the teachers and pupils given a ten days holiday so that the teachers can go to Birmingham for the meeting of the State Educational association. large delegation of the city and country teachers will attend the Birmingham meeting
