l A Good Word For Cleveland.-Mark Iva
 in his recently published biography, reyes himself as no great admirer of the presiden
 of the United States since Lincoln, but
 is worth noting that he speaks a good vol
 for Grover Cleveland.-Mobile Register.
 | Making An Impression On Father. President Coolidge has endorsed Fathers da and has stated that observance of the dd will impress upon fathers the full measui of their obligation in behalf of their chi dren." That impression is always made q the first of the month.-Montgomery Journa Beauties Near Anniston.-Why peou should wish to go to other lands or othd states to find natural beauty and freedoI from the confusion and annoyances of towi life is mystery. Within ten miles of All niston on any side can one find woodlanI solitude, can revel in all that Nature has t| give in beauty and in plenty, and can be to aI intent and purposes "far from the madd'ninl crowd. ."-Anniston Star.

 Where The Simmons dGrow.-There a1 many varieties of wild persimmons, and feJ of the uncultivated species. Some are verI delicious, and the small boy, and many peoI pie who are older, are like the 'possum abou persimmonsi they do not like, they si1npl3 love them. Let a few trees grow, and flour ish on the outskirts of the farms, on the unI tillable spots in the fields in the woods and along the roads and highways--Talladegs Home. I, 4 I |. A New Week For Birmingilatn.-Th retail merchants of Birmingham think they have found a week not already spoken for in tht way of special observance, and they hasten to claim it for celebrating 'canned goods Such a proposal may be advisable, even nee essary, but from daily, weekly, monthly and yearly experience we have been under the im- pression that all the time was canned goods time.-Opelika News.
 Now Favors Mobile Bridge.-After three years of one of the bitterest fights on news paper in Alabama-through all of which we apparently have survived-we would still op- pose the building of the Mobile Baldwin bridge, and for the same reasons. But now Mobile is talking business. She will now have to tax herself for all of the money nec- essary to build such 3 bridge. And the On locker will be one to push forward the move ment-as in the case of every other improve ment that is brought about in fair way to all of the hard-workipg people. Let's go, Mo- bile.-Foley Onlooker.
 Spirit Of Ce-operation.-The spirit of CO., operating in local development that exists here is shown decisively in the action of the carpenters union in adopting motion to de- vote it's surplus funds to the purchase of stock in the Florence Building and Loan As sociation. The carpenters know that what helps one helps all, and that their idle funds may De the means of promoting growth and development locally, so they join hands with other local capital in a movement for the general good of the community. When peo- pie live together andqpull together like that no one need fear for the success of the com munity in which theye live.-Florence Times.
 Making Alabama An Empire.-In Alabama, we might build our fine public building of marble shipped from Vermont, pave our streets with Kentucky asphalt, burn Pennsylvania coal, cook with aluminium wares from Arkan- sas, ship fertilizers from Chile wear cotton agoeds 1nanufactured in New England, plow with implements from Illinois, buy our beef from Kansas City our flour from Minneapo- lis, our potatoes from Wisconsin, or if we are patriotic to our state, we might set out to become self-sustaining and profit by selling our own resources to the outside world.
 It is most pathetic that state with near ly every known resource, a state which could be a mighty empire in itself if properly de- veloped, should have to be sold first to it's own people. We have the task in this state of selling Alabama to Alabamians. When we have done that we can expect to sell it to the outside world LFlorence Herald,
