 The officers of Birmingham council want every member of the council to be present at the big rally. They also want all other members of the United Commercial Tray eiers who happen to be in Birmingham to come around
 At the meeting there will be three pa st supreme counselors of the order, Walter D. Murphy of Columbus, O.; Robert F. somerville of Dayton, O.. and William A. Johnson of Birmingham. MT. Johnson is the oldest in point of years of member snip In the U. C. T., he having been a member Of the order more than 25 years The first named past counselors now are officers in the national organization and are to be the guests of Birmingham coun- ell. Mir. Murphy has a reputation as an orator and his wit alone would be worth coming miles to hear

 c. s. Leyden, formerly city editor of the Anniston Star. but recently appointed to the judgeship of the court of common pleas in Calhoun county. was a visitor to The Age-IIerald office Saturday. MT. Leyden said the Anniston council, U. c. T., asked. him to come around and let the writer know that Anniston was still on the map. That Anniston crowd has been doing things for the past two years, and the way they have started out indi- cafes they will continue to make good. When that delegation comes over to the big rally here. I hope the whole bunch will call around at The Age-Herald office and get acquainted again.
