Business has been very brisk all this

Wade Bros. Produce Exchange. We have
practically sold out on many commodi-

THE sharp rise in the price of Irish
potatoes is due to the fact that the vir-

of the west-Colorado and Nevada-are

Cincinnati and Birmingham
II was in Cincinnati last week and
found business In that progressive city
very brisk" said Y. w. Williams, Ala
bama agent of the V. II. Jackson Cigar
company of Cincinnati THE merchants
all seemed optimistic and the outlook
for trade the coming winter is very
good indeed.
1.-THE effects of the tariff bill have been
largely discounted in Cincinnati and busi-
ness Is going on just as II no mention
of tariff revision had been made.
Cincinnati is a beautiful city. Stand
ing on top of Walnut hill and looking
south, one gets view of beautiful houses
and the Ohio river. The park acreage
in that city is very large-which means
that it is much larger than Birmfng-
hams.
birmingham has many beautiful parks
but 1t would be well IL more space was
devoted to park purposes The residence
sections here are rarely surpassed in any
city in this country of ours, and on High
land avenue, especially, is the landscape
effect beautiful. The scenery hereabouts
is enchanting. While Cincinnati is a
beautiful city Birmingham Is not far be-
hind in many things and it should not
be many years before this city makes
an excellent showing In parks.
