Local pride in it's schools and its unusually fine churches and attractive homes is strong and the citzenry ranks with that of any where on earth in all that goes to make up good people.
 ''Woodlawn has three car lines. The building of the Tidewater has greatly stimulated the growth of our section of Greater Birmingham, particularly the Woodlawn Highlands, where many very beautiful homes have already been con- structed. The Gate City car line and the First avenue line of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, to- gether with the Tidewater, reach every part of Woodlawn.

Farmer. With Cotton Cheerful

Frank Richardson of Mooresvlle, in Limestone county, was in town yesterday. He was secretary and general manager of the Birmingham Paint and Glass com pany for numbers of years, but for the past year has resided at Mooresville,
 where he has engaged in extensive farm-

We raised bumper crops-the largest in fact ever known in our neighborhood- and notwithstanding the advance in prices the past week most of the farmers are holding cotton for a higher market.
