work. has recently been employed as
secretary and manager Suitable offices
have been secured and the organization
placed upon a modern and substantial
basis, and an active campaign will be
at once inaugurated toward securing new
industries for Tuscumbia.
In the heart of a rich agricultural sec
ton. at the intersection of the South
ern, Northern Alabama, and Louisville
and Nashville railroads, healthful in To-
cation, possessing unusual natural adj
vantages. and all the modern convenien-
ces OF waterworks, electric lights, street
car service, gas. etc Tuscumbia is alive
to the opportunities of the hour The
town presents an excellent field for in
vestment, and is most attractive place
of residence.
Much of the upbuilding of Tuscumbia
has been accomplished directly through
the efforts of the City Beautiful club, an
organization composed of women who are
socially prominent Through the untiring
efforts of Mrs. a. II. Carmichael, pres
ident Of the club, a splendid new high
school building has been recently COM
pleted.
ENTHUSIASM AND PROGRESS
The spirit of enthusiasm and progress
has seized hold OF the people here, and
they are determined that their town shall
not be left behind in the march of prog
ress nor so largely inaugurated in this
section. AS in Sheffield there is oppor-
tunity here for capital; in fact, it is an
inviting field for investment, house build
ing and new enterprise. New enterprises
are already being established here ana
the town Is building for housing and
taking care of those locating here.
Surely town that showed such enthu-
siasn SO early in its history to get into
the big game of progress. is not going
to be found tagging now that opportunity
is knocking at her door with such
insistence. The spirit Of the early pro-
motors is not calling without avail to
the splendid sons who now make up the
citizenship of Tuscumbia.
The dividing line between Tuscumbia
and Sheffield are scarcely recognized.
There is, in fact, a splendid co-opera-
ton and cordial spirit existing between
the people of the two towns, Socially
and in business way there is much in
common between Tuscumbia and Shelf
field.

ed why he insists hat the weight for
his titular bout with Ted Kid
Lewis, the w~elterweight king, at
Wfedenmayer's Park in Newark, next
Monday night, be 142 pounds at 3
o'clock. Since the articles of agree

has been hat Benny demanded this

scaled 1873 pounds in fighting condi-

me that Lewis wants t bet $500 that
he will weigh less than 1 do when we
get into the ring Monday night. Well,
If he is so sure he can make low
weight I'll give him a chance 70 make
1t and he can fight me for my light
weight championship. I'm ready to
tear up the present articles and have
them changed to 1873 pounds ringside.
Then, IL Lewis can knock me out. my
title will belong to him."
The real a I want the weight
to be 142 pounds is because I think

accomplished will be interesting to the
citizens of the county. Our quota was
$4,000. The total amount of the
bonds sold was $3O6.25O to 2S94 people.
or an average of a little over 500 to
each subscriber. The total Is arrived
at from reports of the following bank
towns:
"Colville $124.S50 to 1881 people.
"Chewelah. $59.150 to 536 people.
"Northport, $54,7OO to 4S9 people.
"Springdale. $1S.05O to 1S9 people.
Kettle Falls, $4,000 to $50 people.
"Valley, $17,35O to 172 people.
Hunters, $14.550 to 147 people.
Every town in the county exceeded
its quota, and especially Is this true
of some of the non bank towns / feel
that special mention is due the town
of Marcus. They exceeded the quota
five times. Addy and Loon Lake each
more than doubled their quota. while
Daisy and Clifford both raised more
than their quota. 1t is very hard to
make special mention OF any one To-
cality They all did SO well. IN these
totals I do not include the subscriptions
of Clayton, which were turned In
through the Deer Park bank in Spo-

totals, or $4,000 in subscriptions at
Marcus by the Great Northern en-
ployees whose subscriptions were
taken through and reported by the

mushrooms and other edible fungi con-
tain very high percentage of water
about 80 per cent. The remaining ten
per cent or so consists very largely of
starches and sugars. They are not "a

they contain very little heterogeneous
matter and no fat two of the import

Those who complain that failure to

fall to consider the amount Of time and
trouble which would have to be devoted
to gathering any large amount of these
