nilinr Firat Avenue

II rejoice to see that the oiling of
First avenue from the heart of Bir-
min CHAM to East Lake has been start
ed" said man who travels that route
on the street cars almost daily.
II have had much sympathy for tho
Observation-Disclosures and motormen-
who have had to breathe the dust of the
street day after day for hours; for the
residents along the route, who have
been unable to keep their premises tidy
and who have been seriously injured by
the clouds of dust famed by street
cars and fast-speeding automobiles; for
the ladies, who in the evenings have
had their dainty toilettes almost ruined
by dirt and dust when making the
trips to and from the city to attend
entertainments and public amusement
places.
when we stop to think that for
many months over $4,000 persons per
day have had their lungs, nostrils, eyes
and ears filled with dust along this
much travelled way, we may then know
that poems of gladness are rising with
the putting down of this menace to
health, happiness and cleanliness. But
ey cry great and good innovation has its
.unfayorable side. Not for some time
can the much affected white shoes be
worn in the municipal subdivisions bor-
doring on First avenue. The reason
why? The oil and tar will surely black
en- them, be the wearer ever so care
full in stepping over the black -coated
surface.
Now, give us viaducts and all will
be peace. and progress clear out to

In dreams hear upon the window-pane
Inc dreary, dreary beat of winter rain,
through leafless boughs the wailing winds

And every bloom is dead;
IN dreams l see storm clouds o'ercast the

The hills uprear their solemn forms on

In poignant loneliness the valleys lie

Good Bench sho,. at the Fair

Mr. Underwood is highly esteemed in

Detroit. MY business takes me to four
states outside of Michigan and l have
found that Mr.. Underwood was extreme

said that the Alabama statesman was
the best equipped man in the democratic

he would stand a better chance of cleo
