 "Birmingham's fire department is right there when 1t comes to speed, skin and efficiency" said Laurens w. Jones, whose house caught fire Thanks- ing Day, and was saved by the good work of the Five Points station fire men.
 My house at Ss25 Cliff road is fully two miles from the station at Five Points," continued NIT. Jones, but they covered the two miles in quick order and in less than 10 minutes after the alarm was turned in had the apparatus up. the water on and the fire practical lily under control.
 When the first firemen got to lscene the house was in a big
 I was sure that no matter how fast they worked the fire would work faster. However, was wrong. The men had the blaze under control in few n..n- lutes, With the help of the men from the two other stations, who arrived inn lmediately after the first company, tho fire was put out in less than 80 min iutes.
 The blaze on the roof of the house
 was seen from the outside"
 fu A Happy Thanksgiving
 ~Apropos of Thanksgiving" said lGeorge S. Earnest, notwithstanding
 my wife carries pair of ss over her Shoulder and my number Is 72, we gre
 both in good health, and this is the Ihappiest Thanksgiving of our lives.
 Around a table well laden with the
 good things of this life,, we had both our sons, both daughters, both daugh- ters law, both sons -law-J. hen- ry Move circulation manager of The AgeHerald, and J. Tendon yann, man. ager W. s. Brown and company, and three grand babies, including little Miss Jamie (though not the littlest in i'm portance), daughter of our baby Toy.
 'Skeet' ! '.Reverting back to my fathers.
 whom more than half of the people of Jefferson knew, head of four genera tions, I may truly say. I have been young, and now am old; yet have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His seed begging bread.'
 If our tribe shall burgeon and frond in the future as it has in the past, Birmingham will not fall behind 1 in the next decennial census" ! Good Spirit
 l 'It was glorious day at Redwood park for the Thanksgiving game be- tween the University of Alabama and the Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical college" said Hill Ferguson, "and it was a real delight to see the isplendid sportsmanship exhibited by both teams. It was clean all the way 1 through. Both teams seemed extra anxious to give one another the best fight in them without any wish 70 win save by merit. The University Toys cheered the Mississippians when they scored and they returned the compli
 ment. I noticed that the crowd, while
 unquestionably for Alabama, never failed to give round after round of sap@i plause when tho visitors pulled off a
 good play. The spirit of football is getting better each season."

 relative to Emma Goldman. the de- Iported bolshevik who is now pleading to get back to the United States, hay ing been cured of her socialist foolish ress," said Bob Crownberry of New Or leans yesterday.
 What good thing it would be for other ignorant people if that shipload of anarchists. or at least their leaders who have now learned the facts bout the horrors of soviet control, were al-' lowed to return to this country and hand of what the working people are now suffering under bolshevik control. Wise Man in Sumter T know of at least one wise man over Sumter county way.' said S. l..

For himself he advanced to his negro .lands and kept their heads above water They remained with him. The others eft.

 | HOme-xrowA Beauties /, Where do you get all these won. derful chrysanthemums?' J. B. Patter-s son of Parker's was asked. He glaaced lproudly over the array of stately white beauties and replied: Where do you suppose? Right here in Birmingham, lwhere we get everything else that is worth while. Why go elsewhere 10 get our chrysanthemums when we can just as well raise them here? We planted S5,000 cuttings this spring and doubt 1ocf p,oro tho r ono or fV,-r, rho
