 The Book club was hostess on Tues day afternoon at the library to all fed erated clubs of the city when most charming programme was observed. The event was reciprocity day with an Ala
 bama day and a musical programme combined, excellently presided over by Mrs. George Deyden. one of Anniston' s most capable club women and brilliant musician.
 In introducing her programme Mrs. Leyden said in the most attractive way: Il By force of circumstances our pro- gramme for this occasion is dual in that it is both Alabama and music. And it is well for us that it is so, for this dear old Indian name-Alabama-is syn onym of music, and it's meaning. too we are told Here we rest is not really a rest, but as in music it is only a pause, a rest between acts pause between one enjoyment and the privilege of another It means to us caroling breezes and peace and plenty The 45 souls to the square mile of our 50, ,722 miles of mountains, plains and coast, give us breathing space and room in which to be happy. And we are happy, too in that ours is not a. one-thing state. We excell possibly in no one thing, and yet we are great in all things.
 "Our mountains are loaded with iron. our hills filled with coal to heat this iron which is melted and moulded into instruments of husbandry and instru- ments of music, Ours is not a state with gold only but the gold is suffi- cent, and as it eXcels in fneness it is pure enough for every one of our girls to wear on their third fingers.
 Our coast line is none too long, but it is wide enough that the peoples of the earth know of us by our tonnage of wealth. of stream of forest and fertile streams is music. Have you not heard it? As Byron says: There's music in the signing of reed; there's music in the gushing of a Till; there's music in all things if men had ears. Their earth is but an echo of the spheres. !"
 The Dew Hoyt L. Doobs, an orator of great repute, made the address Of the afternoon, bringing out many inter- esting and important facts in the life of brilliant Alabamians of the past and few of present date.
