GIVES CITY HISTORY

In 1915 the United States govern.
ment granted to an insane asylum
in Hartford, Conn.,. a large tract of
land in what Is now jefferson county
Ala. The trustees of the asylum
sent Mr.. William Ely to select the
land and commit it's profits to the
objects intended by the grant. Mr.
Ely secured for his own use a por :
ticn of the land, and with business
foresight began the building of a
town. By good fortune he succeeded
in having the courthouse located on
the site of his town.
The town was named EIyton after
its founder. For half a century it
formed the center of sturdy, pros
porous community. In flush times
it drew trade from large section
of surrounding country. Later the.
name was changed from Elyton to
Birmingham. =
The first house in Birmingham, ex-
cept the historic old blacksmith
shop, had its foundation laid in 1871,
August s. In December following
the city was chartered. At that time
it had 1900 inhabitants, Is two-story
brick stores, and 80 frame houses.
Col. ]. r. Powell, the Duke of Bir-
minghamn as president of the Ely
ton Land company, was at this time
giving his energies and farsighted
wisdom to the building of the city.
The streets and avenues were wen
planned for future growth.

JESSE ADAMS WRITES
THANKSGIVING POEM
~ LENA FAY BAILEY

Among the contributors to the
Children's page of The Age Herald
is a very clever little chap who lives
out on Sycamore street. His name is
Jesse C. Adams, and he is only III
years old and is in the fourth grade.'
Jesse can write poetry like a vet-'
eran and gets his ideas from every
where. In one poem shortly TO bes
printed on the Children's page he got
his inspiration from the big, tall pop%-
lar trees out at the W. S. Munger
home In West End. Here is a.
Thanksgiving prayer which is one Of
Jesse's own make: ..ozs
oh, Lord, wilt thou let me be
One that may give thanks to thee?-s
We thank you for this quiet Hfeanr
For keeping our nation from famines
and strife;
For making these idle hands of mine
Help the poor and care for the blind.
For making this fair day of thine
"A day of praise for all mankind
For the making of this goodly land.a i
For making OF this world SO grand,
The spirit of God in every cline.
At every place, at every time.
This is the day 49,
To praise God for the world,
And on this day rs
Will our flag be unfurledl ~

She hopes that you didn't really
say a little prayer of thanks to the
good God who made you, and has
given you such good parents and a
mighty wonderful land in which to
live.
Aunt Ann wants her little folks TO
grow up and be awfully bright eyed.
Do not form the habit of looking

see what beautiful sky Gods art

are trees beautiful when they are
covered with green, or brown. or
crimson leaves, but are also most
exquisite in their outlines when win
