within the past 10 years several thou sand homeseekers, few from Europe, but the great number from northern states, have settled on small farms in Alapama; and so far as can learn all of them have prospered." said railroad of f1cial.
 But the opportunities which this state offers to homeseekers are better under stood now than they were . few years ago. Native farmers are more prosperous than ever, and the fact that large invest ments have been made in farm lands in Alabama within the past two years has attracted wide attention.
 "A new era in this states. agricultural progress has just begun. Agriculture on a large scale returns large profits, and also truck farming pays we'll. Alabama farms that were bought a fsw years ago for $10 an acre would now bring go and upward. In five years the level of farm values will have risen 50 per cent q more"

President Harrison,s Visit

Replying to D. B Grace, in the Lobby interview June ?, Col. J. w. DuBose says i:
 There has been no denial that Dr. Phillips paraded the school children on the streets in honor of President Har- rison and that other public demonstra- tions appeared with the same worthy spirits. Nevertheless. there is no con- fiict between the fact that Governor Jones ordered dinner in his honor at cost of one months salary of the governor, and those other signs of public welcome to the eminent visitor. l made no error what ever in my statement. I took 1t from the printed utterance of the governor himself. He made this and other like statements to show that the official salary of the chief executive of Alabama is liable to many unanticipated drafts.
 ''The incident was recalled now, that the good knight is dust, to stand as an in stance where a brave and true man will throw himself into the breach I saw the President and was an eyewitness to all the demonstrations to which MT. Grace refers. The governors order for the dinner was another incident, knowl- edge of which, unfortunately for MT. Grace's present anxiety for historical ac- curacy, seems to have been withheld from him, to his distress"

Park Concerts should peein Soon

sAarA NOs.NV. ShOuiu DeBlm soon
 Tt is hoped that the ladies of the Music Study club, through whose endeavors Bir- mingham has had band concerts in Capi- tol park during the past few summers. will be able to raise money enough within the next week or two to have open air music again this summer" said a promi- nent citizen
 The city commission is talking pov- erty, and, according to announcements in the newspapers, $500 is all that Commits sioner Ward is willing to see appropri- ated. I know that the city is forced to practice rigid economy, but as has been said by The Age-Herald, park music comes under the head of a civic necessity. The commissioners might strain a point and appropriate as much as they did last summer-$1000. That would help very much. With such an amount as a starter the ladies would, I believe, be able to raise without much difficulty $40Oo or 5000 all told. y sTt
 If l remember alright, the band fund last summer totaled about $45O0. We had splendid concerts by band of 27 or 2S men under the baton of MT. Memoli. But unless people interested in civic affairs and in the promotion of musical art for the masses bestir themselves at once it will be too late. I fear. to provide ap adequate band. If the concerts go by de- fault this summer 1t will be serious re- heetion on Birmingham's public spirit. Nashville and Memphis each nave fine bands for free concerts. In Memphis the music costs, I understand, something like No'Ooo. The city pays half and the street railway company pays half. And yet Memphis is said to be slow going city compared with Birmingham"
