the company to 81 a month and an
extra charge OF $3.50 for the listing.

sion authorizing the telephone COM
pany TO increase its rates, contained.
Mr.. Bardo referred 10 several pa
pers which the telephone company
had fled with the commissioners for
its study, months before final action

tion on the Kappel complaint, the

HARD|NG'S VISIT
Special to the News

Birmingham, Oct. thinning
hams birthday party, celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of the city, will
be made an even greater occasion
through the first official visit of the
President and Mrs. Harding to the
South since the inauguration.
The celebration will be featured
by the historical pageant depicting
the fifty years of the city's history
and stressing the fact that Birming-
ham is the largest city of its age in
America, being the only city in the
zoe, 900 class which was founded af-
ter 1870, and one of only few cities
of its size which were not in exist
ence during the civil war.
The celebration will continue
throughout the entire week October
"a to go but the biggest day will be
October &c when President and Mrs.
Harding will be the official guests of
the city and state. Assurance has
been given Senator Underwood by
the president that he will remain in
Birmingham practically "a hours
and that he will participate in all
the functions and ceremonies which
the committee has arranged in his
honor.
Arriving on special train from
Washington at an early hour on the
morning of October &c, the president
will be met at Pell City by COM
mittee of prominent citizens of Biz.
mingham and Alabama. Upon his

the civic, fraternal, patriotic, militia
ry and semi-military organizations
of Birmingham and many from other

to-do merchant, are among the most
interesting celebration of this an
cient city.
No person who is privileged to
witness one will ever forget either
the gorgeous costumes displayed or
the thrill of the music and dancing
INDUCED in by the guests.
Not only the respective families
Of the bride and bridegroom but also
the entire neighborhood takes part
in the merrymaking which generally
lasts for seven days.
The celebration begins always on
Monday and the wedding ceremony
itself, always occurs at dawn on the
following Sunday.
Invitations are sent only to those
from whom presents are expected
However, any person may attend
who wishes. Presents are always in
the nature of foodstuffs such as rice,
meat, sugar, coffee, flour, butter and
vegetables. These are necessary to
provide food for the hundreds of
guests who flock to the bridegroom
house daily to take part in the sing
ing and dancing.
Saturdays bring the climax to all
joy making. If the bridegroom's ia
Their is of even moderate circumstnc-
es, professional musicians are hired
for the day.
Men and women in Palestine do
not mix together, often, due to the
general belief that women are not
mentally worthy of association. Con-
sequently it becomes necessary to en-
terrain women separately
On Saturday evening at eight
o'clock there takes place the shaving
of the bridegroom, feature of the
entertainment. Surrounded by scores
of men and women who keep up in
cessant maddening yells, which may
be heard for mile around, the bar
Der undertakes the operation.
This done, procession is formed
proceeding to the church with people
marching abreats. At the head
come eight kawases (guards) follow
ed by ten children carrying in their
hands palm branches and long can
dies lighted. Immediately after hob
Bile four priests dressed in their
church robes and singing psalms.
The bridegroom, accompanied by his
father and the best man, come next,
trailed by 200 or 300 men. At the
end of the procession come the wo-
men and children.
A similar procession having start
ed at about the same time from the
brides place, the two groups meet at
some appointed place and proceed
jointly to the church. All along the
streets men and women, Weakened by
the noise, lean out of their windows
