 Don't get in the path of George Plais- ance this month. His firm has offered a 21-jewel gold watch for sales ability and he says he needs new timepiece With two conventions staring him in the face, however, George will not do much better than selling twice as much as any , other salesman in the employ of his firm. Very disappointing, very. At the Tuscaloosa centennial there were as many travelling men as old grads and the old town took on the appearance of being the convention city of traveline mems organization. More than 50 trav- elers from Birmingham spent the week there. w. F. Bridges arrived rather late, but when he got there he "arrived' on all four feet
 smith, the flour man, gained eyer. lasting fame in his nocturnal speeches at the centennial and he had all Tus- caloosa exclaiming over his oratorical POWe pelore the week ended, Jesse Wright was very much in at tendance, but T am getting too old for this sort of thing" said Jesse. s,* c. R. Heath, as entertaining as usual and entertained as usual was a con sp1cuous figure among the travelling contingent.
 sss T.aGropdo the centennial rather hurriedly. dropped out of the company of one of ms acquaintances even more hurriedly.
 
 R. M. Leland, also at Tuscaloosa, talked reminiscently of the town as it appeared 100 years ago. "The old town has changed remarkably" he said as the same place."
 c. R. White was there, but it took him 20 minutes to say good morning to his friends. and he never did know that c. M. Tardy also was in attend ance at the centennial talking about the relative merits of several brands of coffee.
 R. c. Fell was busy in the Druid City day and night, especially at night selling groceries.
 
 w. B. Rowe attended the festivities He had but little time, but says he certainly enjoyed every moment of the little time he had. Charlie Abrams was registered at the McLester hotel, and wonder of all wonders. he didn't register even one kick. Charlie didn't even make a kick against the hotel service, which is un- usual. and he walked down the streets of the stately old southern city of Tus- caloosa, wearing on his face a smile, the like of which caused his friends to gasp with astonishment.
