The "Cleanest Towh In Alabama. ".--Ths Dixie Manufacturer, kof Birmingham, car ries cut of the Andalusia courthouse and public square on its front page. It pays to have the reputation of being the cleanest town in Alabama. This distinction means much to discriminating people.-Andalusia Star. Canada's Independence. British em- pire is not as closely knit as it once was, and as proof of that Canada has signed com mercial treaty with Belgium without taking the trouble to get permission from Downing street.-Mobile Register.
 Wonderful C0unty.-Boost Marion coun- ty and her products and possibilities. We have wonderful county. And no county can .surpass us for good, clever people. If one is in trouble or sustains an unavoidable loss, Seighbors rush to his rescue. What is 90 pleasant, after all, as living in . community where you can feel assured that every one is your friend and neighbor after the Good Samaritan style ?-Marion County News.

 For Armistice Day.-The Times carries to- day the first of a series of stories appropriate to the observance of Armistice Day, which is fast approaching. For those who participated in the great conflict, and for those who only watched and waited back home, these stories will have an unusual appeal, serving to turn back the pages of history to those of six years ago when the civilized world was torn by the stress of many feelings-Florence Times.
 Tho Reason For Misunderstanding.- town people get out of humor when we find street bit muddy and hard to get oyer and are forced to go a little out of the way to reach given destination.

There has never been much sense in shipping cotton from this country to the North before it could be made into clothing.

 SOuth's "Solidity'' Not To Be Shaken.-- There is very small immediate prospect that the "solidity" of the South in politics will be shaken. The southern people are Democrats from principle and few of them have ever been able to discern anything in Republican policies or promises to win their conscientious approval. It has therefore, always been an awkward undertaking to impress a thinking southerner with the wisdom and good policy and patriotic need of his voting the Republic an ticket. It is quite probable that the South will continue to give its allegiance to the Democratic party for many years to come. Certainly the Republican record of achieve ment and the personnel of it's leadership do not constitute any very irresistible appeal why thinking, discriminating citizens should line up under the standard of that party.-Selma Tmes-Journal. .t
