HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, December 31-(Special.) The city commission has adopted an ordinance establishing the license schedule for the year 1916. The schedule was re- vised upward and very few businesses were allowed to pass without a raise. The schedules of four other cities were used in the revision and on each of them were found some lines of business that had hot been required to pay here in Huntsville. Few of the licenses were fixed at prohibitive prices. but on some lines they are heavy. Money lenders must pay s20O, lighting rod agents $1OO, labor agents $125, while $50 each Is re- quired for every pool table, slot machines are taxed $50 each; picture shows must pay $60 each; lawyers, doctors, dentists and other professional men are required to pay $25. The license tax is expected to bring in an annual income of $10,000.
 The storehouse at Meridianville owned by Clarence Thompson and filled with a considerable stock of merchandise belong ing to ex-Sheriff William Mitchell was destroyed by fire yesterday. The loss on the building and contents amounts to about $35O0, insured for small amount. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Ring, ring, sad bell, Tis the midnight hour, old time farewell We've tasted sadness, and known mirth, Toll the bells OCT all the earth.
 Farewell!
 Another day is dawning,- ring in the new

 Nineteen sixteen is here Time is changing-darkness fading, great

 With hope and might.
 Ring the glad bell
 We are on the eve of another year, and stand as though we had climbed to the top of hill. Looking to the back of us, and then to the front of us. At things that were and those that are to be-yesterday and tomorrow.
 Three hundred and siXty-five days of valuable time has been given us. We have wasted many of the hours-no fault of yours-we are the losers.
 When you came you found world of resolutions-new and good ones-things we would do and things we would not do Have we kept faith with you: have we been true? Only time can tell.
 Old time, your book is closed, each month represented a leaf in that book, on whose lines are recorded the deeds of the world.
 You came amid the chill of the winter, a new dawn after the birthday of the Christ child, and gave man the chance to live anew, to begin over again. With u cir hopes you budded and blossomed into the springtime, and the summer fol-

RING OUT THE OLD
 TIME, RING IN THE NEW
By MRS. J. E. REID.

lowed with a harvest of plenty Autumn heard the storm of panic, of war and crushed the heart of your harvest-want and war entered your doorway. The world grew sombre, the foliage, like the gray hairs of age, changed it's hue, after the sunshine had gone and bleak winter the season of your birth bears your funeral llnel. The bells and whistles cried at the hour, and the dewdrops fell as tears for Father Time before the break of the new born day.
 70 there are voices of the past,
 Links of a broken chain
 Wings that can bear me back to times
 Which cannot come again
 Yet God forbid that I should lose
 The echoes that remain.
 We give the glad hand to the new time today-we greet it w:th faith, hope and love. There never was a tide so filled with the feeling or good fellowship among our people than today. This has been demonstrated during the period of the pa st: when want knocked on our neighbor's door, The hand of a friend has been extended to help. That spirit lives today more cheerfully than yes terday, and 1916 is born full of enthu- siasm and promise, the srasping of op- portunty is left to individual response. To-day is ours, what do we fear? Today is ours, we have it here. Let's treat it kindly, that it may
 Wish, at least, with us to stay. Let's hanish business, banish sorrow To the gods belongs tomorrow

BIRMINGHAM FIRST
By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Several days ago the social service de- partment published an article relative to the municipal Christmas tree in Mobile, suggesting that Birmingham fall in line and also have such a public demonstra- tion Since then the attention of the de- partment has been called to the fact through Mr. Radcliff, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, that two years ago Birmingham did have such public Christmas tree with no small success.
 Feeling a great loyalty to the city of Birmingham, it is with pleasure that we correct the error of giving Mobile undue credit for the first Alabama city to join the 800, and give publicity to the celebration in our own city.
 However, we wish to reiterate the hope that Birmingham may again have cele- bration of this kind still more elabo- rate and beautiful than the last and make the tree an annual custom.

It is a splendid thing to rise out of the ashes of past mistakes to a determination to turn over the proverbial new leat' and if need be- make resolutions; put how much better to change the old order of things, and instead of nightly resolv- ing and alas, only too often laying the resolutions upon the table having them "snowed under and forgotten, is it to
 select some motto" and endeavor to live up to it?
 The Rev. Dr. Oliver Huckel, in h s ad- mirable book entitled, Through England with Tennyson'' calls attention to the
 heroic challenge expressed in the motto
 adopted by the late poet aureate. The author says that in the poets home at Aldworth, is the fine old Welsh motto which the poet so loved and which was wrought into the titles of the entrance hall
 'Y Gwir yn erbymy byd." Which terse and forcefu in it's English translation means: "The Truth Against the World.' A great and uplifting motto may De as a lighthouse to ones life-something to steer by, something sure, fixed and
 unfailing.
 It is amazing how problems fall away when men are steering by the fixed light of some great truth. Is it expedient? Is it diplomatic? Such questions dwindle into nothingness when a life is dominated by some noble purpose crystalized into the words of a principle. a
