 son. J. Hindman Wall, with whom he Is associated in the grocery business.
 At one fell swoop "Granddaddy" Ken nedys ambition to lord it over U. c. T. members next May at their state con vention was shattered into myriad atoms.
 And Mir Wall says if the members of the U. c. T. don't get to work and secure 150 new members between now and next May. he is going to have his grandson meet the train and muss up the entire state membership as they arrive in Huntsville.
 The grand executive committee at It's meeting here last week settled a popular bone of contention between J. M. Bow man of Anniston and Coke Smith of Montgomery by agreeing to purchase the silken banner to which Anniston council No. Al is justly entitled because 1t se- cured more new members last year than did any other subordinate council in the state.
 In The Age-Herald office Thursday night MT. Smith said: "Tell Jimmie Bow man that his old banner Is on the way" This is your information, MT. Bowman. Write Mir Smith a letter of thanks; let's bury the hatchet and spread white sand over the blood-soaked ground of conflict.
 It is alleged that the true story con corning the recent illness of George M. P.asance at las. has come to light. According to the raconteur some two weeks ago MT Plaisance blthey left the Louisville and Nashville station on one of his weekly selling trips. Among other things he carried his well-known and famous smile to a little town some miles north of Birmingham
 On arriving at this place the first person George slimpeed was a wondrously beau tiful lady-a young lady, too. if you please. It developed that the young lady was a trained nurse. George learned of this.
 As you know. MT. Plaisances business, by virtue of its peculiar complexities. throws him in frequent contact with phy- sicians. It Is good business for him to know trained nurses. He could find no one who was personally acquainted with the young lady Being a verita ble person. ficstion of honor, his chivalrous soul re- belled at the very suggestion of speak ing to the lady without proper introduce ton.
 Therefore, there was nothing left for him to do but get sick. He secuted around and learned that there were ro physicians within two days distance; he got very sick. Of course the lady, being the only experienced person within hailing distance, was called to his aid. She worked over him for some minutes and at last George recovered sufficiently to introduce himself and thank her for her trouble. Of course, he learned her name.
 George is now well and happy. He has another person on whom he can call in business emergency. And the little green pill continues it's good work.
 Capt. Hughes B. Kennedy, who is the possessor of one of the latest models of the famous Flivver, has begun training for the next automobile meet at De- troit Several, of the boys have ex- pressed the opinion that he will be barred from participating in any meet with au- tomobiles. That remains to be seen. Per- sonally, Captain Kennedy Is limousine type and the machine he carries around in his pocket can't affect his person. ality.
 Boyd LeGrand. Dick Bayless and R. Roan Cannon are the bcIs with the large talk. Boyd can't leave town, because his fair lady fears that some bush league maid will ask waivers on him. The other boys. however, are free lances and sign contracts promiscuously in all leagues.
 
 Smiling Rufus Fell and James Laird are the boys that are always on the iSb. They had to swim several creeks last week, but they stuck it out and both of them got home. too:
 
 How the boys did crowd around Clint Reese few days ago to express their congratulations on his appearance again. They all expressed the hope that he had bod .fc 1nA oil ~E -f- I be among them for all time.
 John Newell and Kirk Henry were seen Fording around Dora last week Judging from the responsiveness of the smiles, business was excellent.
 The U. c. T. in Birmingham is now ar- ranging to put on a minstrel show. Ed Robinson has promised to lend his sweet inson will take a part Many of you probably don't know that Jim Is one of the best fiutists in this town. When it comes to beating the bones. T. Berry has no equal. and c. F. Nord is so close behind him in ability that the CT rowd- ing is uncomfortable.
