 Tuscaloosa News New Building The
 Tuscaloosa News is to be congratulated on
 the fact that Mondays paper was published in it's new building. The News has been grow
 ing continuously under the management of its present editor, MT. Miller, and the fact that he has been compelled to build more
 adequate and modern home for his paper is
 proof that he is progressive. Pickens Coun- ty Herald.
 Advocates Community Fairs.--The Herald
 believes that community fairs would aid in the agricultural development of the county. At least one such fair will be held this fall and others could be arranged if the different communities would get together on the prop osition. Now is the time to get busy fl such fairs are contemplated and the idea is cer- tainly worth considerations -DeKalb County Herald
 Civic Pride Appealed To.--Let every good citizen of Columbiana give whole-hearted CO., operation to the town council in it's efforts to keep the town clean. The work already done has greatly improved the appearance of the town. Now let's all work together not only to keep our town clean, but to con tinue to improve the appearance of things A degree of civic pride is one of the essen tial clements of good citizenship. The more civic pride the better citizen.-Shelby County Reporter.
 Farmers Summer SchOol--The farmers summer school begins at Auburn July 27 and extends through the entire week. This course, if taken advantage of by bur farmers, would mean more to them than perhaps anything else they could possibly do for the same pe- riod of time. Auburn is doing more for the farmers of Alabama than any other agency, and our farmers should avail themselves of the opportunities which it offers them.-- Dadeville Spot Cash
 Splendid Gift to Montevallo.- -Erskine Ramsay, capitalist of Birmingham, has do- mated one hundred thousand dollars to the woman's college at Monteyallo. This is splendid gift, similar amount having been given to Auburnand large amount to the University of Alabama. The woman's college at Montevallo is a state institution, but is badly in need of funds to take care of the growing attendance at this institution. Mir. Ramsay deserves the thanks of the people of the state.--Centreville Press.
 Progress fin MouIton.-In Moulton, the principal city of the county, we can see much change in the past year. There is less dissension and more of a cooperative spirit shown between merchants and between mer- chants and farmers. We have a good, live commercial club which has done much and can yet do much more in drawing together and cementing among all the people of the county feeling of cooperation. We each need the help of the other, and if we pull together we can make Lawrence county one of the best in the state.-Moulton Advertiser.
 Bullock County Reduces Debt-In this is- sue of the Herald will be found an itemized statement of the receipts and disbursements of county funds. The people of Bullock coun- ty are entitled to know where and how their money is spent, and this statement will tell them. The county commissioners and pro- bate judge are to be congratulated upon the fact that the indebtedness of the county has been reduced approximately $10,000 during the past six months. The county is getting in better shape financially and we can soon see the result of this in the improvement of our roads. While the sum spent on our roads each year seems to be large in the aggre- gate, when it is scattered over 600 miles of roads in our county it takes good many months to make much of a showing. Springs Herald.
 Newton JI I1iIEard.-In the death of New ton J. Lillard, which occurred yesterday morning at Pensacola, the newspaper profes- sion in this section loses one of-its oldest members. At various times he was engaged in , the publication of daily newspapers and monthly magazines in cities of south Ala bama and west Florida, and for one year prior to the change whereby The Standard passed to it's present ownership, Mir. Lillards was editor of this newspaper. Leaving Brew ton, Mir. Lillard went to Florida, where he owned newspaper interests, and thence to Sanford, Florida, where he was connected with a daily paper for some time. Last fall he moved to Andalusia and became one of the organizers of the Covington County News.s As the new paper was about to begin pub lication, Mir. Lillard suffered a stroke of from which he never recovered. His loss will be keenly felt by many friends in this section where he spent fifty of his sixty seven years in newspaper work.-Bpewton
