Years passed and by virtue of two elections, the first of which was tie, the citizens Of his community decided the name of the city no longer should be New Decatur, but Albany
 Afterward it was the same house, the same street. the same neiEhborhood, but not the same city. The citizen had changed his residence, municipally speaking, but had not changed his location.
 Still more years passed a bill was introduced In the legislature, passed and approved by the gov ernor, consolidating the cities of Albany and Decatur, under the name of Decatur.

 THE AGE-HERALD DacofYtr Ala Sent 1 |

Following the visit of inspection here this week by Dr. Hinds of Au- burn, farmers of Morgan county are fully prepared for the second in- vasion Cf the new generation of cot ton leaf worms. Poison Is said to be held in readiness In ample quantities and 1t will be sent into the fields at the first indication of the reap pearance of the pest.
 Reports this week from most sec tions of the county indicated that cotton and corn beth made good progress. The weevil and the worm have done a great deal of damage, but If the second invasion Is no more harmful than the first, farmers pre- dict that the crop will be as large as expected when the season opened.
 pr. Kinds declared the second fight against the worms will be harder than the first one. Farmers, however, will have the advantage of net being caught unprepared, as they were more than two weeks ago when the worms began appearing in the fields In large numbers. This time they will be ready to meet the emergency.
