"The Alabama Home''

TO-DAY in the long ago. there happened an event which is considered by all of some importance and to the writer of these articles with commngled feeling of gadness and regret-the day of his birth.
 TN EVERY life there are some supreme moments of pure happiness, which in the heart of memory have the importance of months and years Perhaps that memory leads to the hour of vast love affair sumated, to great ambition realized It is of ambition and whatit stands for that write of today and we trust that words may give courage to some despairing and discouraged life
 THE position of a Southern boy for the twenty years following the civil war was in many ways difficult and lnexorable The writer of this article left Hunts Vile, Alabama Tn the early eighties for Baltimore with the dream of ambition and worldly success in full pos session of his heart; behind all this was will and deter imitation that to this day has never halted at any obstacle No doubt with his countryooking cothes he rather unwecome visitor to his rich and aristo- cratic connection After walking the streets of Bati more for weary lot of days he succeeded in obtaining position at four dollars week.
 THE first supreme moment of his life came the fol- Il lowing January 1st when his salary was raised to eighteen hundred dollars year In less than ten years from this time the next supreme moment of his life arrived when he had severed his mercantile connections and had succeeded in organizing "The Alabama Home" with all of it's unlimited resources

MUST PAY AUTO TAX
PERSONS OPERATING CARS
WITHOUT 1916 TAGS MAY
BE HAILED TO COURT.

Spring weather ard the gradual
temperance of automobiles for gen
eral use, impels county officials to
give warning that of motor
ears who have not taken out 1916
state licenses are delinquent, and
that if they operate vehicles on which
are not attached a license tag for this
year, they are liable to arrest.
With the putting into effect this
year of the new state motor vehicle
law, which reduced the license fee
from Sc to So per annum. taxes on
automobiles became due January l.
Owing to the fact that very few per
sons operated cars between January
/ and the middle of March, no con
certed effort was made to compel
payment of the tax. County Treas
urer Ed Hyland, at whose office au-
tomobile license should be paid, said
today that less than half of the
known motor car owners had taken
out Tags for this year.
The 1916 tags are green and black.
The old ones were yellow and black.
