JASPER MAN OFFERS
EAGLE TO THE zoo
Francis M. Long Has Fine
Specimen-Will Be Ac-
cepted

Since the coming of Miss Fancy" the
zoo of Birmingham has become known
in the land, and there are but few days
pass without an offer of new animal or
fowl to the city of Birmingham for its
eco. The latest is from Francis M. Long
of Jasper, who says he has a large bald
eel gle which he would be very glad to
present to the city. He asks The Age
Herald to place the proposition before the
proper authorities and find out for him
IL the eagle will be acceptable.
Frank w. Smith, president of the zoo
association, when told about this recent
offer of an addition to the zoo last night,
said that he would be very glad to re-
ceive the eagle and would most heartily
thank its donor.
The letter which announced the desire
OF Mr.. Long came from w. W. Gunter
and is as follows:
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
could the Birmingham zoo manage
ment use large, bald eagle? Mr.. Francis
NJ. Long of Jasper has a real live one,
which he would be glad to present to
the city of Birmingham. Kindly take the
matter up with the proper authorities and
let me know their decision. This bird is
fine specimen, with wings measuring
about seven feet from tip to tip. The tip
of one wing Is broken. but otherwise he
IS all right. and eats well. Birmingham
would be expected to pay transporta-
ton. w. w. GUNTER."

DEDICATION FEAST
AT TEMPLE EMANUEL
Children Looking Forward With
Pleasure to Exercises to Be Held
Next Sunday

The Sunday school of Temple Elmanu-I IEl
will hold its annual celebration of Cha
nukkah, or the feast OF dedication. next
Sunday, December %. The exercises will
be held at the new temple and the children
are looking forward to them with lively
anticipations. Rabbi Nj. Newfeld yester-
explanation of the celebration:
zone of the most interesting half-holi-
days in the Jewish calendar begins this
year on Tuesday evening, December 90
and lasts for eight days. It is known as
Chanul1kah the feast of dedication and
though not observed by special services in
the synagogue, 1t is eagerly looked for
ward to by the children of the Jewish
household, for 1t has in large measure
come to be a children's festival
THE historical background of the cele-
bration is found In the fact that in the
year 165 b. C. Judas Maccabeus. one of
the few martial heroes in Jewish history
re-dedicated to the services of the ore
God the Temple at Jerusalem after it's
pollution by Antiochus Epiphanes, who
had set up in place of Gods altar a shrine
to his heather god. Just three years after
this pollution, on the 18th day Of tie
month If Kislev. the temple was re-
claimed and re-dedicated to the service
of God.
around the festival cluster many beau
tiful legends, which have helped to shape
the character of the celebration. One
such legend is to the effect that when
the temple was re-dedicated only single
cruise of oil was found unpolluted. but
through the miraculous Intervention OF
God. this oil proved to be sufficient for
eight successive nights, and until other
oil fitted for the service might be pre-
pared. For this reason, to this day, Jews
light candles in their homes in celebration
of Chanuklxah for eight successive nights.
one on the first night, two on the second,
and so on.
1.-The Feast of Chanukkah is time for
rejoicing not only on the part of the chill
dren, but as well on the part of the poor.

PEYTON EXPLAINS
C|RCUMSTANCESOF
HIS CHANGE IN 1907
President Smith Recon-
mended Him to Union Pa
cific Where He Re-
mained a Few Months

John Howe Peyton. whose election to
the presidency Of the Nashville, Chatta-.
nooga and ST. Louis railroad was an
nounced from Nashville. paid a visit to
this city yesterday. He arrived on the
Louisville and Nashville morning train
from Nashville and returned to Louis
vile last night
While here Mr.. Peyton addressed a let
ter to the editor of The Age-Herald in
which he pointed out the circumstances
under which he left tho Louisville and
Nashville railroad in 1907. Mr.. Peytons
letter is as follows
To the Editor of The Age Herald:
My attention has been called to an
article in your issue of this date bear
ing the caption, "Sidelights on the Char
acteE of New Head of N. c. &r st. L."
The author of this article accords me
generous praise of which 1 am unworthy,
but for which l am grateful. He has.
under the subheading, Brought Smith to
His Knees" fallen into most remarkable
and surprising errors as to matters of
fact. That such an accomplishment is
impossible will be readily perceived by
every one WHO Is ldullllsiT WITH tfe CHIT
acteristics of the great man mentioned,
and denial is only worth while least
some one might suppose that such sug
gestion might have been made by one of
his assistants. AS a matter of fact no
such incident ever occurred
When railroad construction work slack
eEed up after the panic of 1907 and the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany no longer needed my services in the
engineering department, the president of
the company recommended me to an Of
fetal of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, who employed me for few months
making some Investigations for bis road.
When that work was finished | applied
to the management of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company for employ
ment, and was taken back into their SER
vice.
With cordial good wishes for the pros
perity of The Age-Herald and it's readers,
yours truly, JOHN HOWE PEYTON.
Assistant to President Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company.

FAIRFIELD WIRE MILL
OPEN IN TEN DAYS

Within 10 days the American Steel
and Wire company plant at Fairfield
will begin operations. That Is the best
obtainable opinion as no certain time
for beginning worls has been an
nounced, nor will there be any public
statement from the officials in that
connection. It is said to be the idea of
Charles W. Lutz, in charge of the op-
GRAFTON, to quietly begin work and
allow 1t to be found out as quickly
as possible on the part of those in
terested without any announcement
from the company. That he will be
successful in that programme is re-
garded as doubtful as there is so much
interest centered In the beginning of
operations at Fairfield that to start
without 1t being known from Wylam
to East Lake is well nigh impossible.
The plant Is practically in readiness
now, according to well informed men.
The steel plant has furnished some
steel to start up with and there re-
MAINS it Is said, only few details to
be straightehed out prior to the be-
ginning of work.

thus keeping up with the influx of

1t has been well known for some
time that there will be a brisk de-
mand for homes at Fairfield just as
soon as operations begin. The COM
pany has tried to meet the expected

assisted in that work by building
