 A New and Good Idea.-Thats anew way of doing it down at Albany Decatur. In. stead of going to the country to enjoy barbe- cue with the folk, the country folk were in- vited and went to town in the Twin Cities to enjoy barbecue as the guests of the city folk.

 Half Will Not Quality.-Alabama has ten prospects" for entry in the gubernatorial but it is not believed that half of them will qualify" The regular or stock price to run for the governorship of Alabama is around $15,000 and this, does not leave any allowance for time lost from the candidates regular employment.-Selma Times-J Journal.
 Taking Up for Bonner.-The Opelika News defense of Senator Bonner's accept ance of double-seryice-to the state and to the power company---is that the service to the power company was small, hardly mo- ticeable in fact He actually wrote a deed or did some trivial bit of work for the Ala bama Power Company" says the News. The further argument is that there were others of like complexion in the legislature, from which it may be inferred that the News believes that several wrongs make right Mobile Register.
 Making Good Reputation reputa- ton of the Lauderdale health unit is break ing home bounds and establishing itself abroad. And this reputation is certainly good. When three foreign delegates, studying health work administration in this country, come to see us in a body to get firSt-hand information on the methods of the local unit, we may feel assured that we are getting pretty good service. The state department, responsible for this visit, is trying to show the best it has. Evidently our officers are no trailers in the service,s and we are prob ably getting more than we either realize or appreciate.-Florence News.

You have taught a lesson in friendship where be- fore there may have been a friendship. You have achieved success for yourselves and your cities.-Albany-D Decatur Daily.
 Plea for Memorial Trees.-In Etowah county we have beautiful memorial high way in the Rainbow drive, but no tree plant ing as yet It seems to us that the Legion, the Legion Auxiliary, the Gold Star Mothers and other organizations could not find more 2 worthy outlet .sfar theirs activities than to { plant memorial trees along this highway H. is one of the most important trunk roads in { north Alabama, connecting Gadsden and this entire section with Birmingham and Mont { gomery as it does. Some time ago there was { a movement of this kind, but it seems to have died in its infancy. The Times suggests that it be revived by onesor more of the pa triotic organizations of sGadsden.-Gadsden Times.
 Improved Streets as itnveStment-Pratt- vile cannot grow without more residences. The Progress believes that one of the best in- vestments our town council can make IS to extend and improve every street to the cor porate limits and thereby make many attrac- tive sites for residences. With these improved streets there will be many who will feel that a residence in Prattville will be safe in. vestment "A City Beautiful is not a mis- homer for Prattville. With our natural scenery, our many artesian wells with the best water in the world and with our splen- did lands surrounding the town very few towns or cities have more natural advan- tages than Prattville. The Prattville citizens do not realize what they have if they will take the lead and improve it. The opportu- nity is ours. Will we take advantage of it? -prottviIla ProgreSs
