ncuncement.
Last evening Il team of five under
the leadership of President Peterson
conducted the service at the United
Brethren church. The orchestra was
again in evidence as was the boys who
sing, there being two splendid quar-
tets rendered. Somehow attendants do
not seem to be in any particular hurry
about getting home when this bunch
puts on service. Everybody fingered
till long after regular services We're
dismissed. This team work is surely
creating Il true fellowship among the
church going people of this community,
as well as Il goOdly number of nom
members who seem to be enjoying this
fellowship to its utmost.

 "The gray-haired man in the open limousine was the man you wanted to avoid? In other words, Mir Frederick Ducane?"
 Della made up her mind that fur ther lying would be futile. Ossy vas too sharp and wide-awake.
 Therefore she nodded In assent.
 He's rather dear. And he's been so awfully ill" She felt the lame- ness of these statements, but could think of nothing better with which to fill the awkward gap.
 Ossy spoke again.

 This perspicuity did not make for pleasantness.
 The widow was at a loss for molli- flying words.
 She decided that an equal show of annoyance might win the day.
 You've got suspicious mind, my friend. l suppose that, in the finan- cial world, the cue Is to suspect ores neighbor always. I'm glad my minds not got that trend" This vevy huff fily.
 Ossy relented

 Booth at Fair
 Their booth at the fair has drawn curious and enthusiastic crowds Put on under the direction of the Bir- ming gham Association of the Blind. and in charge of the Volunteers Re- lief association. prominent people have gone down to donate their ser vices to the cause each day and each evening of the fair. If you haven't visited the display, you ought by all means to do so.
 There are two pianos in the booth, and members of the association whose music has enlivened and entertained the crowds, and set 1t to rocking with the rythm and caused small boys to want to finger and play games in hearing of 1t, are J. H. Camp, T. R. Kemp. J. B. Morris and MT. Yam.
 Mrs. Holley Cowherd, local vocalist. has given special songs each after noon, and will sing today at 8 o'clock, What are those"
 These have been the curious ques- tions directed to the boothkeepers at the sight of different kinds of books showing the pinhole raised lettering which the blind read with their fingers.
 Those On Duty
 Among the local people who have had charge of the booths at various occasions this week are Miss Mary Craven, president of the association; Mrs. c. r. Engstfeld. treasurer: Mrs. J. A.

MAS0NS TO RAISE A
 FUND FOR MONUMENT
 T0LATE s. B. MOORE

Carrollton. october 7.--Back in the early years of Pickens county there resided in Carrollton one Samuel E, Moore, who was prominent figure in the construction of the county, and also served a term of several months as governor of the state, assuming the duties at the resignation of Gov. Gabriel Moore, while he was presi- dent of the state senate.
 Mir. Moore came to- Alabama from Tennessee and settled in Jackson county and represented that county In the legislature as far back as 1923. and served several terms in the lower house, being elected to the state senate In 1928, and was presi- dent of that body in 1881 when Gov ernor Moore resigned. At the close of his term In December of the same year he came to this county and To- cated at Carrollton. He served from 1884 to 1888 in the state senate and as president of the senate In 1885. He was also judge of the county court of Pickens county for num- Der of years.
 He was resident of Carrollton when death came on November =,
 
 ton cemetery. He was a prominent Mason and served the St. Johns lodge (now Carrollton). as secretary and senior warden. For years his grave remained unmarked, although on numerous occasions an effort was made to raise funds to erect a mon ument as a token of service rendered, but these failed, and finally'the Ma sonic lodge of Carrollton contributed $50 for the erection of simple marker, which was placed at the grave and the plain board removed.
 About the time this marker was erected the Alabama Memorial asso- citation took the matter up with M. B. Curry, of this city. then worship full master of the carrollton Masonic lodge, and after some correspondence regarding the matter, offered to do- nate s150 for the purchase or a suIt- able monument: provided like amount would be raised iIl the coun ty. A Masonic conference will be held in AIiceyille the coming week and the matter will be brought be- fore that body and definite plans made for raising the amount necessary to match that of the Alabama Memo- rial society.
 There are five Masonic lodges in the county and a small donation from each would raise the necessary amount, and should they fail to de- wise some means for the proper mark irg of the grave of this distinguished citizen. other arrangements will be made, and the money contributed by citizens who appreciate the fact that his services were well worth the price.

 Immediately she saw the faux pas' she had perpetrated. Della was in no way dense.
 Unfortunately. neither was her friend.

 This wasn't promising
 Forgive me, Ossy. It was rude of me, I know. But someone passed just now whom I specially wanted not to see me"
 'In my company? Yes. under stand" ossy nodded grimly. I'm good enough to lunch with, but not good enough for your friends to meet? Isn't that sop
 Delias impulse was to fly Into temper. for Ossy had indeed hit the nail upon the head-quite inconven- ientlyl
 But years of many ups and downs had taught the lady self-control.

 The little man hesitated. He was offended. But natural curiosity. with which he was strongly endowed, got the better of his pride.
 He was jealous, also. And he must get to the bottom or this business

 "Of course you've got a sporting chance I'm fond of you" The widow found this line extremely d'f- ficult. but Ossy must be temporarily placated. He was very useful friend--in need.

 With this, Ossy had perforce 10 bs content, He, however. pushed his advantage by inviting Della to join a merry party on his motor launch on the following day.

A LADY who had a family of three children didn't want any more because she had heard that every fourth child born in the world was Chinaman.
 As ludicrous, perhaps old misconception some skeptical folks used to have about advertising
 There was time, when some advertisements had to be taken with grain of salt A few misguided adver- tsers thought they could sell their goods better by mis- representing them Those advertisers have long since gone out of business mended their ways. Hard ex perience taught that untrthfu advertising didn't pay
 Other advertisers proved that the only way to adver tse successfully, make regular customers and build up good will was to tell the absolute truth about their goods in their advertisements
 You can depend the merchant or manufacturer who advertises The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing good with which to do bus The store that advertses is progressive store that has something really worth while to say you And companies that advertise their products their service have confidence in them. You safely share their confidence
 Inferior merchandise cannot masquerade in the quail ty clothes of advertising.

SALES TAX ADOPTION
WILL Be VIGOROUSLY
OPPOSED BY WORKMEN

Washington, May 2&.-"Indignation
meetings will be held in every city
town and hamlet in the country" in
protest against the' sales tax if it is
adopted. the senate finance committee
was told today by Edward F, Nc
Grady. who said he was stating for
Samuel Gompers the position of the
American Federation of Labor. The
fedora tion has taken a positive stand
against the proposed tax McGrady de-
clared.
Five millions of the now idle and
many other millions of those whose
wages have been reduced from rs to
50 per cent are to be called on to as
sumo the added burden he said.

vision of the American mining con-

attempt Ito transpose the taxes on the
luxuries of the rich to the dinner pail
of the poor-a tax OF the diamond shirt
stud and on the bone collar button"
The real solution of the federal tax
problem is lower taxes, not iugGled
taxes" said he.
Pointing to statements that nearly
billion dollars in taxes remained un-
collected. the witness argued that that
sum ought to do something toward re-
lieving the financial problems of the
