CHICAGO IN ITS YOUTH.
II Got One Weekly Mail, by Horseback,
From the East In 1882.

Extracts from the first city directory
Of Chicago reprinted in the Record.
Herald show, for the most part, feel.
ing Of satisfaction in the compiler. The
directory appeared in 1874. "Our COM
mon schools" he writes, "are worthy
Of special notice" Regarding enter
tainment for the stranger within the
gates, he is able to note definite i'm
proyement Whereas, "In early times
our inns were miserable In the ex-
treme." now I'VE have eighteen hotels
and houses OF public entertainment,
many Of them large and splendid es-
adjustments, not inferior to any in the
west"
He hazards a prophecy which has
been more than fulfilled when he says:
1--WE have four large packing houses,
and all of them have done a heavy
business thus far. The pork packing
is only just commencing, but will, 1t is
thought, be extensive"
The progress that had been made in
postal facilities is shown by this rec
ord; "A weekly mail from the east
was received here on horseback in 1892
The next year it was received in
one horse wagon weekly. In 1888
two horse wagon was substituted In
1884 a four horse stage line was estab-
lished semiweekly: triweekly In 1885.
In 1897 there was daily eastern mail.
There are now received and made up
at this Office forty eight mails weekly,
and the receipts of the office amount
to about $4,000"
In one or two respects the narrator
cannot speak so cheerfully. He is com
PEELED TO acknowledge debt of

lished upon a permanent foundation
and cannot easily be shaken" But for
the. stage he sees no immediate hope

AUBURN EXPERTS GIVE LESSONS
 IN CANNING INDUSTRY

The canning industry, according to Pro- lessor Duncan, had an humble beginning. The work was first started In Pike and Walker counties last year. The work has now spread to 12 other counties with the indication that by next summer the in- dustry will be practiced in nearly every county in the state.
 Those in charge of disseminating knowl- edge with reference to the canning in- dustry do most of their work during the summer months, June, July and August. State demonstration agents go into a community, stay there several days. give exhibitions to the school girls, and thus a beginning is made. The industry spreads to homes all over the community. Many girls put up enough fruit and vege- tables to send themselves to college. while others make money to assist in the maintenance of the family
 Professor Duncan believes the industry has a great field in Alabama, and he thinks 1t will be practiced in every county in the state next year. Those counties in which the industry has been practiced this year are: Walker, Pike. Mobile. Monroe. Houston, Lowndes. Chiffon, De- Kalb, Etowah, Marshall, Franklin, Nor gan, Calhoun and Baldwin.

 . The memorial services had their be- ginning with the Phil Finch memorial day of the Jefferson Volunteers. which is still observed in conjunction with the general memorial exercises. On the first day of May, 1898, the Jefferson Volun- teers went into service. The personnel of the company embraced the younger clements of the leading families of the city. On the eve of their departure for Florida they entered into a solemn pledge that if any of them died in ser vice they would make reasonable ef- fort to have the body sent to Birming- ham and on the return from service to hold memorial services each year. The volunteers were never called into actual service and but one of their number died, Sergeant Phil Finch, one of the bravest and best beloved of their num- her, who succumbed to fever while en- camped at Jacksonville. Fla.
 The pledge made has been faithfully carried out by the volunteers and with the passing of time other members of the military organization have joined the biviouc of the dead and the memorial services have become general.
 The programme will be as follows:
 Invocation.
 Music by military band.
 Selections by quartet.
 Roll call.

 Floral offerings placed on graves.
 Music by band.
 Salute by gun squad of Battery D.
