 stock raising can be made profitable in the 1 Sylacauga district. With it's acres and acres

 tie and other livestock. Sylacauga Advance.
 Enforce the Fish Laws.--Yes. the we'll
 stocked streams of Alabama would De worth
 half million dollars a year to the state. Why not spend one-haf of this and restock,
 and then enforce the present fish laws a few
 years and ever after have plenty of fish at

 Prisoners and Good ReadiBg.--Kilby prison has a new library and Speigner will soon be provided for by the department of archives and history. The books and papers will be- of the best character and prisoners will no doubt be benefited by reading. This suggests the idea that if the inmates of the prison had given more time to good reading matter while they were free, perhaps they would not now be shut up in prison walls.--Gun- tersville Democrat.
 Confident of Ford Offers Success.--A re- cent conversation between an advocate of the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals and Congress- man ". B. Oliver, of the Tuscaloosa dis trict, is reported, in which Mr. Oliver stated that he was confident that the Ford offer would be accepted soon after congress con yenes in its next session.
