Italian LabOrer Kflled-sale of Ice Cream from Push Carts Ordered Stopped

Gadsden, September 1e.-(Special. ) Information was reached here late this afternoon to the effect that the Eto- wah delegation in the legislature had reached an agreement on a bill passed in the lower house providing that bond money in Etowah county might be placed on interest until required for the purpose for which it was voted. If this bill is passed 1t will probably bring to an end the controversy be- tween the Etowah county commission ers' court and the Etowah county road commi ssion.

boats which have been groomed for
the great fall sport. This is that the
Canadian duck crop the past season
was unusually small due to the wet
and cold summer and that the north
ern birds, such as they were, have al
ready made their southern fight, pas
sing through this region in the night.
They point to accounts of large bags
of big ducks in the northern part of
the state several weeks ago as proof
of their contention. More optomistic
sportsmen scout this belief. They ar
que that the warm weather has kept
the birds in the north and that with
the first real cold snap they will be
swirling about this region in clouds.
Because of the lateness of the season
they expect the flight will continue
for only few days. Local physical
conditions, with the exception of the
warm weather, have been everything
desired for duck season. Prairie
sloughs and timber water holes-ideal
haunts of the toothsome mallard =
contain more water than for many
years. Wild rice is plentiful in the
larger lakes. Yet local nimrods have
been compelled to rest content with
measly little bags and almost invar-
iably these have been "local" birds.
From points on the Mississippi and II
linois rivers come reports that no
ducks have arrived. From Canadian
points come reports that there are no
birds to be seen. Locally, a hunting
party can drive in an auto an entire
day and perhaps see one flock. What
is the answer? Nimrods would like to
know and be taken off needles and
pins.

HALLOWEEN OBSERVANCE SANE
Sank Centre YOUNGSTERS Indulge in In

the devlltry of hoodlums celebrating
Halloween, lost their beauty sleep
and had their worry for naught as a
general rule. True, Young America
was abroad and would not be denied
his pranks. However, they were all
of innocent nature and no property
owner suffered more than getting a
little warm under the collar the next
morning when he was compelled to
right an overturned outbuiding or go
chasing about the neighborhood in
quest of his wagon or buggy, or
other articles that were not nailed
down. The smaller tots were out in

sign and made many an elder "shiv-

panes and preventing those on the in
terror from recognizing the visitors.
Tick-tacks and resine strings startled

lice, which is quite a. departure from
the high-spirited, registering, Hallow-

This is not regrettable, but a pretty
feature of the past which has also
died out is the Halloween night witch
