 Crunk Makes Interesting Statement
 One of the speeches of local interest was that of J. F. Crunk of Trenton, Ky, the oldest agent In point or service on the Louisville and Nashville system. He has been In continuous service for A years. and Is still active in the discharge of his duties Speaking of Birmingham, MT. Crt.lk stated that in 1870 the system had mucn trouble in locating Birmingham. and on investigation they would learn that 1t was a town in Jefferson county, Alabama. but now that he had come to Birmingham | in 191s he found that Jefferson county was located in Birmingham. Taking the phenomenal growth of Birmingham as criterion, Mir Crunk predicted that when | the auditors and agents met again in Bir mingham after like period of time they would find Mir Tolliver in building a mile high and the clerks going and eom-
 ing to his office in aeroplanes.
