 Not only did they sell at par, with a per centum interest rate, but premium was paid for one lot of half a million.
 With government bonds selling just a little better than % cents on the dollar, says Scudder Ryall, secretary of the city commission, Birmingham may justly feel proud of it's financial classification.
 Two things the city has been working for during the past two decades will be carried out through the sale of the bonds; $zo0, ,Oo0 goes as the body figure around which to raise the cost of -a municipal auditorium; $2750oo will be expended to give the city the most complete and mod ern fire alarm system obtainable.
 R. M. Grant & Co. of New York, through priority of date on their bid, was given preference on the $500,000 bonds for the auditorium. Also they paid a premium on the papers of $500. s1O0,Ooo which will pay for vehicle appa- ratus of the fire department lately pur- chased, some pieces of which have ar rived
 The Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Company entered bid for the $27500O bonds to pay for the fire alarm system this same company will install, taking the bonds at par with interest at per cent.

 In describing the whale meat, Mir. Campbell said:
 T have eaten it, and it is as tender as any porterhouse. tenderloin or any other fancy cut of beef
 Whales, of course, as everyone knows are mammals. Their meat is almost iden- tical with beef Venison is the nearest approach to it know of. The cuts look exactly like beef and the average man cannot tell them apart, except when they are eaten, then the difference shows in the better quality of the whale meat. Tt is the cleanest beef known. Iiv- ing in the wide reaches of the ocea/s, the whale does not come in contact with any foul matter; there is no danger of disease of any nature in eating it.
 The peoples of the eastern shore of Asia and the population of Japan know no other sort of beef
 Whale meat is constantly sold throuSf, out our east now, and is staple article of food If any Birmingham hotel or res- taurant would like a special consignment n will be glad to include it in the sample order for Birmingham
 Incidentally. MT. Campbell mentioned that the whale meat retails, at present, Tor about IS cents pound. His company does not handle it, but he will be glad to take care of l0o-pound or larger orders of those who wish to give it trial

 "Agricola, which suffered to much from the terrible havoc, will be provided with comforts of every description by the Salvation Army, which is always on the job when suffering and sorrow prevail . said local officer.
 MT. Peck's own home, about forty miles from Columbus. Ga, was in the storm district, though not suffering as severely as the Opelika district.
 There is no time and no place when the Salvation Army is not willing and eager to help those in distress, and when- ever it is in their power to extend mate rial as well spiritual aid, they are alawys to be relied upon.
 Surely the Salvation Army is a great band of true, loyal workers, and many there are who are indebted to them for succor and aid in time of distress'
