 An unruly bull broke loose from a bunch of cattle here recently. and, dash ing through the downtown business dis trict with a vaquero in full chase, gal loped up Mob Hill and butted into a ia ashionable apartment house hallway, shivering the door with his head.
 To the terror of the tenants, he kept on up three flights of stairs, putting In doors whenever the turns were too sharp. On the fourth floor the vaquero cornered him, but it was necessary to back him into woman's bedroom before he could be turned around and led downstairs.

 Cotton, of course. is our great money crop, and it will be a bumper despite the boil weevil.

This years all talfa crop will probably mark a new high record, and many of the smaller crops are turning out quite well.

From the Attalla Herald.
 Rev Anna Shaw, it is now authorita- lively claimed, denies that she ever said that the marriage ceremony had culti- vated it's usefulness and should be rele- gated to the shades of oblivion. It is now up to the reporter; but so far as we are concerned we merely stated that she was prominently and widely so cred- tied. and she was. And so we have noth- ing to take back However. it is noth- ing new for politicians to deny interviews credited to the,a, and as the women en- ter politics, we suppose we will find they are no exception to the rule.

Evidences of Prospcrity

T meet a business skeptic now and then, who refuses to admit that. evil dences of returning prosperity are in sight, such men say they are from Missouri" I" remarked ]. c. Tate of Gin cinnati. "but those of us in touch with the industrial world and who observe know that good times are returning and returning fast.
 "The improvement this month over last Is marked, and the Improvement wit messed last week over the week before, was even more marked. One of the best evidences of prosperity was the an- nouncements made from Gary. Ind. that new orders were being received and that the South Chicago mills of the Illinois Steel company had started rolling the largest order booked thus far; that the Gary rail mill, heretofore operating three days a week, now runs on a five-day basis.
 Tt Is reasonable to predict that by the 1st of August, further Improvement in industrial business will be announced and that by the 1st of September every plant will be running full time.
