 Judge Perry Thomas is a fine man. a good lawyer good judge and man of fine character and ability. He is worthy son of Alabama, who has played in hard luck in the past so for as political am- bitions have been concerned He has not been beaten because of inability to fill the places to which he aspired, but more largely because of his high and honorable conception of what political activities should be indulged in by honorable and dignified men.

From the Talladega Daily Home.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham, county health officer of Jefferson county, in his latest weekly bulletin on health, says "recipro- cal or inspiratory mouth kissing should be done only through cotton batting" The doctor. it seems, has caught the pre- vailing zeal to do something for cotton, but his recommendation is not expected to tilt the market more than a cent a pound.-Selma Times. Guess the girls will keep a stock of batting on hand, and thereby assist the cotton market.

Dick Eggleston and Bat Haynes, aft CT returning from a fishing trip last week, talked eternally of the "cat- head" Their friends naturally pre- sumed that a "cat-head" had some connection with cat fish It was later proved. however, that their friends were wrong.
 When asked to explain, Mir Eggles- ton said: Well. one night after hay ing fished all day. we were eating sup Der with a friend of ours who lives near the lake. We were very hungry, and soon the first plate of biscuit had become exhausted. Imagine our sur prise when the host. turning to the cook instructed her to bring in another plate of cat-heads.' We thought that the cook would soon return with more fish, possibly with only the heads of the cat fish we had caught that day. However in a moment she returned With plate of biscuits-big luscious biscuits with tinge of brown running through them. We said nothing until the host, passing the plate, suggested that we try another 'cat-head.' We then tumbled and the laugh was general.
 '"rhe 'cat-head differs from the bis- cult with which we are familiar in that it is in the first place larger and in the second place. made out of flour ground in water mills. It is, in fact a graham flour biscuit, and 1t is very delightful There is nothing. after all in A name"

King George II of Tonga, whose declar- ation of neutrality has created much amusement in diplomatic circles. is known as the last of the dusky monarchs of the
 Pacific islands. At one time Germany had designs on Tonga, but the Kaiser was persuaded by Lord Salisbury to withdraw his claims. Although left alone by Ger many, King George had had a tilt with Great Britain. A gentry seized the Brit ish consul on the steps of the Kings pal Great Britain. A sentry seized the Brit ain was so badly treated that H. M. S. Py1ades was dispatched to the island with a demand for an apology Seeing dis King George not only hauled down the Tonga flag and hoisted the Union Jack when the warship appeared, but made still further amends by firing salute of 4 guns. King George has a good eye to business. Perceiving that there was money in the stamp collecting craze. he issued new Tonga series every three months and added considerably to his in- come. He is assisted in the arduous task of ruling by Parliament composed of hereditary nobles. This body meets yery three years but it's attitude toward King George of Tonga is somewhat diff ferent from that of the British Parlia- ment toward King George or England.
