IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Brides In Profu.Ion

weeks ago and while in Chattanooxs decided to go to Signal mountain anc spend few days.
 when I got there I don't think ever saw as many brides in my life and all of their baggage was market so that 1t was impossible for them to slip In and try to appear that they were not newly weds. There were number of old married couples and they were enjoying the situation immensely and allowed the younger folk to have full sway of the place." Lost Great Asset Birmingham has lost one of her greatest assets through the death oi pr. John H. Phillips, dlstinguishe ed citizen and educator of the first rank,' declared John R. Hornady commissioner of education, yesterday
 "Lovable In character. superfine in qualities, he numbered friends by the thousands. His was a-stronr, domi- hating personality, with no room for misgivings as to ability. The strength of the public school system of Greater Birmingham is due to his untiring zeal and foresight, coupled with great executive ability.
 Tn the death of Dr. Phillips we have lost friend and citizen whose place will be not easily filled"
 
 In the Orient
 T have received postal card from my son, Robert, who is aboard the Fairfield City in the service of the Isthmian Steamship company" said James Bowron. "On the card is, a picture of the great Chinese wall Robert writes that his ship was put ting out next for Calcutta to take cargo for the return trip to the United States.
 'It is a coincidence that my son Is taking just about the same trip that I myself will make later on in the year. He has the best of me in that he Is able to have this splen- did experience in his early youth and get the full benefit of a trip around the world in a first class ship while at the same time being paid wages for doing so."
 One on the Doctor
 "They are telling a good one on pr. Charles Whelan," says pr. J. D. Heacock. Tt Is we'll known that he has for chauffeur negro of the old school and like many of that type is clerically inclined. It seems that the other night a hurry call came about midnight from Wood lawn. and the doctor aroused his ne- gro aid On getting Into the car, he asked him if there was enough gas in the tank to take them out to Woodlawn. to be told that there was.
 Having made the call. Dr. Whelan got in the car but it refused to budge, and finding out that it was for lack of gasoline he upbraided his driver for having told him false hood. The guilty one said, Doctor. I ain't lied to you, I said there wuz 'enuff gas to git you out to Wood lawn. but ain't never told you dere wuz 'enuff to bring you back"
 Believes in Creameries
 You bet, am believer in cream cries." said Morgan Richards, man ager of the Selma Traffic bureau. "The Selma creamery business has proven a great asset for the city. and CTS. We are making ice cream, con densed milk and the best of cheese on earth in our creameries, and we are continuing the panufacture Of a butter that Is famous. The ship ments of condensed milk to- Atlanta and New Orleaps are at the rate Of several carloads per week.
 "As for the farmers, I cannot but think how much nicer it is for him to get his cash from the creameries re gularly the year around than wait on the uncertainty of a cotton, yield for a little cash at each tail end of a year. The creamery business cer- tainly has that beat"
 A Great Improvement
 "BirminghaA's new postoffice and building is one of the andsomest in the south," said M. F. Reynolds, "and is indeed wonder full improvement over the present building. I understand the building will be ready for occupancy just as soon as the furniture arrives and it will be a great day for this city when the move is made.
 "visitors to Birmingham have often been heard to comment on the present building, but l am sure they can have nothing but good things to say about the new home of Uncle Sam Although the appropriation was not sufficient to allow another story as the plans designated. I'be- lieye we will some day get that, and then the building will be large enough to take care of the needs for many years to come"
