 Here the weaker sex is supposed to land on it's feet. and in consequence 1t IS rather a novelty when we see woman taking hold of something like A great big Poultry Farm of 9oo0 inhabitants and sue cessfully steering it through until 1t is acclaimed one of the big Successes in the business world and one of the show places' of the state.

 Mrs. Forbes has been d visitor to Bir mingham within the past few days and as Secretary Treasurer of the Alabama Branch of the American Poultry Associa- ton she was an interesting subject for an interview which l at once took advan- tage of and found her to be not only capable business woman, but one of the brightest and most charming women whom 1t has been my good fortune to meet in many days.

FACTORY
SELLS &c, 900 PAIRS
OF OVERALLS TOU.S.

Twenty six thousand pairs of over
alls are being shipped from Atlanta by
the Nunnally & McCrea Co to Panama,
this being the largest shipment of the
kind ever made in the United States to
fill one order.
The Atlanta spirit shown by this live
concern is a surprise to the trade in
general and to Atlantans in particu-
lar.
When bids were asked by the United
States government for oVeralls for the
laborers on the Panama canal. the At
lanta concern decided to enter the COM
petition. When Mr.. McCrea lined up
with the other manufacturers it was
considered by some a joke. He submit
ted a bid on the specifications fur
nished; also bids on specifications of
his own; a careful investigation was
made by the United States experts, and
Mr.. McCreas bid was accepted. The
material was the same as submitted by
the others, but the workmanship was so
much better that he won the contract,
and their goods have given such salts
faction that their make has been adopt
ed as the standard by the United States
government.
In competition with Nunnally & Nc
Crea were a dozen factories, covering
territory from Chicago to Boston. and
it was stated by those in competition
that the Southern concern could not
fill the orders, a they were not pre-
pared to meet the demands This has
proven Incorrect, as there has never
been any delay, nor has the Atlanta
factory ever had returned to it sin

Judge John T. Allen, of Baldwin, has
thrown his hat into the ring where all
men may take notice thereof, and lets
it be known unequivocally that he is a

Without doubt, Judge Allen is going

No man ever offered for that high
