BUSINESS MEN MEET.
Report Of FAIR Officers Received and
Other Business Transacted.

very interesting and enthusiastic
NEE. of the Business Mems Association
was held last Friday evening. at which
there was a good attendance and consid-
cradle business was transacted. Prob
ably as important an item as any was
the report Of the officers Of the Tri- County
Fair. This report showed that the offic-
ers handled nearly 1900, which was re-
ceived from contributions, gate receipts,
ETC., and contrary to the usual results the
report showed handsome balance OF
something over $500 in the hands OF the
Treasurer, after paying all premiums in
full and all expenses connected with the
holding OF the fair.
A discussion then arose az to the best
Use that this money could be put to, some
advising that it be kept to defray the
expense of this section in making an ex-
hibit at the fair to be held at Good
ing next year, while others had more
suggestions to make, one of which was
that the money be used to incorporate a
permanent fair society in Jerome. In
plating this segregation, the company
set apart 40 acre tract adjoining the
town on the northwest for a permanent
fair ground, and it was suggested that
arrangements be made to get title to this
land and commence improvements on
the same. To this end a committee was
appointed who will report at subsequent
meeting.
An advertising committee was appoint
ed some time ago, but it seems they have
been very dilatory, but have promised tc
get busy at once and devise some mean,
OF informing the outside world as to tn,
advantages that are to be had here.
. After the business of the evening hac
been dispensed with, lunch was served
and an hour or more spent in social in
tercourse. 1t was one of the most inter
esting meetings that the association ha
held for some time, and it is to be hope,
that this interest may continue as Their
is plenty Of work for this association t,
do and every citizen of the town shout,
join and assist in boosting this commun
ity.

good cough syrup for $3.50.

ordinary cough in "a hours. This is
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
pleasant to take-children like it. An

STOCKHOLDERS OF
THE FRISCO MEET
Troubles in Mexico Made
Road Insolvent, Says
Fordyce

st. Louis October 13.--One hundred
thousand shares of stock of the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad-one-
at a meeting of the stockholders here
this afternoon. called to devise means
to harmonize the apparent conflict be-
tween the committee of eastern stock
holders and James Campbell of st.
Louis, vice president of the company,
who recently invited the cooperation
of stock holders in protecting their in
terests.
A. T. Perkins and s. w. Fordyce,
both of st. Louis were continued as a
committee to represent the sharehold-
ers who attended todays meeting.
Mr.. Fordyce attributed the receiver
ship of the railroad to the troubles in
Mexico. "If it had not been for the
trouble in Mexico, I don't believe the
Frisco would be insolvent today he
said. THE Brownsville road was hit
hard by that trouble and that road
was one of our most important feeders
In the southwest The Frisco has rich
equities and 1 believe the bondholders
viii be satisfied when they have re-
ceived their principal and interest
Lands owned by the road in Arizona
and New Mexico in time will be worth
100000 to $15,000,000 and am very
hopeful of the future.
1--WE lost s2,500.000 by reason of the
floods In the last few years and that
may not happen again for years.
Mr.. Perkins said the operation of
the 2-cent passenger law would cause
the road to lose not less than 81, 500, 900
revenue for the fiscal year 1913-1914.
Colonel Fordyce said the stockhold-
ers might be assessed on their hold
ings but he did not think the assess
ment would be large.

For many years the idea has prevailed
that Americans must go to Europe for
real cure because of the greater virtue
of the healing waters beyond the sea. The
truth is that the foreigners have not had
the most attractive waters, but the bush
ness foresight to make them attractive;
this much is agreed by all who are IA
miliar with both the spas of this and the
old world. Fortunately beneficial springs
go ON spouting even when by the world
forgot" and the famous old white Sui
phur' is available for the first serious en-
deavor to establish a cure for Americans
that does not necessitate the loss of
fortnight or more in crossing or recross-
ing the Atlantic. A new adjunct at Green
brier is the largest bath establishment In
this country. With an equipment that
gives it the advantage of European spas.
In the circumstances there is bound to
be an immediate revival of the social life
that made White sulphur Springs a fash
ionable resort in the long ago. While this
social life will center in the imposing ed
ifce that, it is said, seems more like a
Georgian palace in the Allegheny noun
tains than a hotel, it will spread out to
80 surrounding cottages, making a cure
settlement of considerable size in the
beautiful valley of West Virginia
Greenbrier White has been a favorite
place for Birmingham folks. Mr.. and Mrs.
William II. kettig have been among its
patrons, and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward IL.
Cabaniss and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward w.
Barrel. Mr.. and Mrs. Kaul, Mr.. and Mrs.
John M. Caldwell and scores of others
that might be recalled in the course of
time who several years ago frequented
Greenbrier White with more favor than
nowadays. and there is no doubt interest
will be revived among Alabamians now
that so many changes have been made.

SUCCESS OF A
YOUNG SOUTHERN GIRL

The following account of the success of
a young southern girl who is studying In
the north will be read with especial graft
Hcation in Birmingham where she has a
number of friends and relatives:
Miss Minnie Davis, a young southern
woman who is studying voice with
Madame Jean F'aure in New York, made
her first appearance in Flushing on Thurs
day evening at the home of Mrs. James
Pryor in Fox lane. Miss Davis is passing
the summer in Flushing and will resume
her studies with Madame Faure in the
autumn.
The occasion of her appearance was In
formal, but marked with much prilliancy.
Her voice is considered lyric soprano
with dramatic possibilities, and the New
York critics who have heard her sing in
private drawing rooms in that city are
unanimous in saying that she has every
reason to justify her ambitions in studying
for grand opera. Some of the most dis
eliminating critics say that Miss Davis
has the Nordica quality of voice when
Madame Nordica was in her prime. She
has repeatedly sung in fashionable town
houses in New York, each occasion adding
to her artistic triumphs, and she created
such a furore towards the close of the
season when people everywhere began
raving about her that a number of the
best known women in society are now
NVii91btAiiS lltI liltlI especial
abong them Mrs. Chauncey Depew, Miss
Marian Gregory and others
Madame Faure is ambitious for her to
go abroad after another year of study in
America-abroad for five years. Amer
lea is waiting for just such a coice,' a
critic exclaimed when he heard Miss Davis
sing the ''Vissi D'arte" from Tosca.
Miss Davis is a little over 20. She has
youth, beauty and a most magnetic per-
sonality. And she is not at all daunted
by all the years of preparation necessary
for the career of opera. The warm
weather finds her industriously at work,
memorizing opera scores, mastering her
Italian and French and German, and every
day she works with her accompanist with
all the enthusiasm of youth and q de-
termination to fulfil the prophecy oil
Americas foremost critics who believe
that she is destined to become one of the
truly great opera stars.
She sang at the home of Miss Marion
Eldridge, Is Ash street, Friday evening.
Mrs. James Mitchell was the accompanied.
