order that the city might keep step with
the era of prosperity that is in evidence
the city council at recent meeting
adopted an ordinance requiring the prop
erty owners abutting certain streets TO
lay cement sidewalks. A number of cit.-
zens are already putting down these
walks. While there is some objection to
the laying of the walks by certain indl-
viduals it is believed that they will fall IN
line with the movement at the proper
time.
That the Alabama, Tennessee and North
ern railway will inaugurate another pas
senger train on their line within the near
future is meeting with the approval OF
the patrons of this line, especially the
travelling man. 1t is given out from the
offices of the company that they will have
constructed six new passenger cars OF
the vestibule type with steel underframe,
models of the ones now in use, for this
new service.
Two new mercantile ablishments
have recently opened their doors for
business in this city, one catering to the
gents furnishings trade, while the other
is racket store, taking care of the 5, 70
and 25-cent trade.

full musical program was first present
ed. Miss Agnes and Miss Eleanor
Brown gave piano selections which
pleased everyone, and b. f. Field, who
is always appreciated, sang. Rev.
George r, Witto was introduced by
the president, Mrs. f. w. Brown, and
gave the address of the afternoon.
He took for his subject Brazil, as he
was more familiar with that country
than any other of South America. He
has spent several years there, twice
visiting Brazil, having been sent out
by a missionary society to see what
could be done in regard to christianiz-
ing the Indians of that country. Mr.
Witte was close observer and his
lecture was very interesting.
Brazil is dominated by Portuguese
and is therefore under Roman Catholic
control. Access to the interior was sc
difficult and the Indians so warlikC
and uncivilized that no society would
take up the work yet of founding
missionary stations. The resources OF
the country are vast
During a social hour sandwiches
cake and tea Were served. A vote OF
thanks was extended to Mr.. Wittc.
