LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
BY ALLAN GHIFFIN JOHNSON

New York. November 16.-(Special)
If there is a fellow in Birmingham with
the Burger Dry Goods company named
r. 1. Marines. he isn't there; that is. he
is here, if there is such fellow there.
At any rate, down at las West Twenty
third street the name is written that way,
and while Mr. NJ. was out when ! called.
1 feel sure the "f'' belongs in the name
in order to distinguish its owner from
the river in France across which the
"Bosche" and the "Poilu" sent their
leaden hail.
It's too bad Mr.. Marines was not in
when I called, because whenever anybody
comes here from old Birmingham, I al
ways take the lid right off and let them
buy me anything they want to. or take
me almost anywhere. Yes, ] know how
generous it is, and all that sort of thing,
but a fellow can't afford to back on the
old town, you know, and then, when the
visitor goes home he can enjoy telling all
about what a wild life 1 am leading
And it's bit odd that J. Hammel of
Mobile, who is at 1140 Broadway, was
also out just about the same time Mr.
Marines was out. OF course, it may be
mere coincidence, because If they were
out together it would be about the first
time Mobile and Birmingham ever really
got together. wouldn't it?
Anyhow, they are both dry goods men,
and il that is the kind of goods they
were out purchasing, there is hardly any
GalI
the other kind of goods, too, you see, and
everybody who comes here from Alabama
Is not a dry goods man-no
Come to think of it. both those fellows
we're probably at the Metropolitan Opera
house. Yes, the grand opera season has
opened here-quite auspiciously, in fact,
and Caruso is singing with a moustache,
and an orchestral accompaniment, and
probably enjoying the show out in front
joys his singing
And the horse show is in full blast, and
the Columbia has a new burlesque show,
and there is really whole lot going on
that the gentlemen from Alabama might
have taken in, or where they may have
been taken in, you never can tell
And BESIDES I know something else,
too-there's a great big Broadway hotel
manager here who is a native of Deca
tur, and I'm going to write you a story
about him soon, but I'll have to talk to
him first, because he may not be willing
to admit that he came from Decatur
but L have the proof on him. anyhow,
and if he denies it L may state that he
came from Prattville, because New York
life isn't any too conducive to an acute
conscience anyway. But he serves fine
dinners and things, and caters specially
to southerners, and l have a date with
him, and I'll let you in on everything
he tells me, and then I'll tell you whether
the dinner was all right or not.

Washington, November 17.-President
Wilson today formally by proclamation
designed Thursday, November 80, as
Thanksgiving Day.
Here follows the Presidents proclama-
ton:
1T has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn of
the year in praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many blessings and
mercies to us and the nation.
The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of thanksgiving has
been rich in blessings to US as a people,
but the whole face of the world has
been darkened by war. In the midst of
our peace and happiness, our thoughts
dwell with painful disquiet upon the
struggles and sufferings of the nations
at war, and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster without choice
or possibility of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our own happiness
without thinking of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of Amer
lea, do appoint Thursday the 3oth of No

TYLES IN Job Printing have

kTTYLES N Job Printing have
e. undergone many changes in
the past few years. The old
style effects. with the big,
gaudy type and fancy borders, have
been replaces with more simple de-
signs. PreSenr-day advertisers realize
that the old, out-of-date designs have
no connection with modern business
methods, consequently they use more
dignified type faces which nor only
attracts the BUYERS attention but re-
{ fleets the prosperity OF their business
as well.
The equipment of our JOB De-
partment is up-to-date IN every re-
spect. Our type faces are new, our
presses are kept clean and IN good

use are just little better than seems
necessary Let us print your next
