Creditable Nature

Montevallo, October 11.-(Special.)
The Shelby county fair held this week
here has been the best in the history
Of the association and compares very
favorably with the single county fairs
Throughout The average attendance
for the first three days was 2000 All
the mineral and agricultural wealth of
the county was shown in the exhibits,
and the touch of woman's hands was
shown throughout. The woman's de-
partment was up to the highest stan
dard and the individual booths and
special handiwork gave the judges
cause for the strictest discrimination.
One of the most interesting and help
full undertakings was that of the Mon
tevallo Civic leagues Better Baby
Contest" This work of progress in the
fairs of the year was reached with
flying colors. Sixty-five babies, from
six months to four years of age, were
entered in the contest. and many later
applicants were refused admittance on
account of lack of time and space for
their accommodation. Much helpful lit
erature, however, was distributed to
those interested in the subject. and a
movement is already on foot to Increase
the facilities for next years contest.

the handiwork of women, the agricul-
tural and mineral products were beau

citizens. The pacing race was won by,

"a Rolling Stone"

AL II. Wilson appeared at the Jefferson
theatre yesterday afternoon and last night
in a new play by Howard Hall Winslow,
entitled. "a Rolling Stone" Opportuni-
ties were afforded Mr. Wilson's abilities
as a German comedian and he sang some
tuneful songs, accompanying himself in
the last act on a quaint old piano. Six or
seven young misses added materially to
the charm of several musical numbers
and at other whies by their romps on the
stage impaired to the piece an atmos-
phere of childish gaiety that was very
pleasing. Mr.. Wilson's sentimental bal
lad. MY Little Climbing Rose,'' was en-
Enthusiastically received 1t is perhaps one
of the most charming love songs he has
yet composed.
AS usual. the comedian was found in the
sort of environment which permitted him
to assume his best German style of quaint
and whimsical humor, with pretty love
story woven in and dash of meodrama
to season the plot. The Rolling Stone"
is a ne -do-well, played by Mr.. Wilson,
who is roaming about this country after
having been dsowned by his noble rela-
tions in Germany. He obligingly consents
to become the husband of an heress in
distress, SO that she may come into her
fortune, and the transaction being strict
ly business" promises never TO see her
again OF course. he sees her again, else
there would not be any play. A MIR
riage of convenience develops into true
love match and after the Rolling Stone"
has proved his heroism by defending his
wife from the Vaccinations of several
extremely vilainous persons he receives
a timely cabegram from home, which
makes him a count.
Miss Lizzie Wilson as sort of Ger
man Mrs. Malaprop evoked frequent
laughs and was close second to MIR.

"a mountebank with a ,cockney accent ac-
ceptably. Harry. West as Hans Van Rip
