JASPER BOASTS of
SUCCESSFUL MAYOR.
Finds Banquet Has More Ef-
feet Than Fine on Taxi
Drivers

Jasper, December 10.-(Special.)-
Jasper can boast of having one of
the most successful mayors of any
town in Alabama in the person Of
J. II. Crawford. He accomplishes
things in both small and big way.
If 1T is big thing the town needs,
he goes after it. and if it is small
thing, he goes just as energetically
as if it were big matter.
Jasper has, in days gone by, had
a great deal of trouble holding the
taxi drivers within the bounds of the
traffic laws, and it was no unusual
sight to see some two or three in
the recorders court every Monday
morning. When Mr.. Crawford as
sumed the reins of city government
few years ago he instituted a Gus
tom that has proven a great success.
He conceived the idea of having an
annual banquet for the taxi drivers
and have them all present and appeal
to their honor to observe the traf-
fic laws and help to make driving IN
Jasper safe for the public. This plan
began to bear fruit and improvement
was noticed in the taxi drivers. Just
this week Mr. Crawford has held his
annual banquet for the boys, and
they all enjoyed the occasion very
much. The mayor addressed them
upon the Importance of careful driv~
ing. and the ills attending reckless
driving, and they all promised to CO.
operate to their fullest ability to the
end of preserving life and limb.
Those present at this banquet We're:
Robert Christian, Dewey Ashby, VIII
1nman, Hubert Charles, Frank Smith,
Bob Creel, Grady Jones. Lecil Gun
ter and r. H. Smith.

APPLES, PEACHES,
COTTON BLOOMING
IN WALKER COUNTY

Jasper, December 10.-(Special.)--
The warm weather during the fall has
brought about some very interesting
phenomena in Walker county. Man
ley Stewart OF north Walker has some
apples that have made two crops this
year. The trees have produced two
crops and the second one is the inter-
esting ones. The apples are rather
small but are as large as hen eggs
and are of "a reddish color. They are
fully developed. The trees had ripe
apples green apples and apple bios
SONS all at the same time.
Another phenomenon is the condi-
ton OF some cotton from the farm
of MIR. Sampson on one OF the rural
routes. He has a number of cotton
stalks where the leaves are as green
as il it were May and on the stalks
are squares. blooms, green bolls and
open cotton all right in December
This has never been known to hap
pen In this section before. 1t is a
very interesting sight to see.
The peach trees are blooming as
IL it were early spring in some sec
lions here. Many of the other buds
are putting out. In many sections the
roses are blooming as profusely as
In the spring
