ne90aCm8 Uvor heitef.-Irojans rejoice over the fact that immediate relief is prom 1 ised at the union depot. Troy is too large for sorry accommodation and one man can not handle the rush at the station. Men necessary to handle the work successfully should be given the places immediately Troy Messenger.
 Time to Fight Disease.--Summer is tlefi- nitely upon us. It is a season when disease easily can get start. It is important that everyone should try to prevent the starting of disease. The best way to do this is to fight the fly, keep it out of the homes, de- stroy its breeding places and fight it all the time.-Anniston Star.
 Believes Times Have Changed-A friend :. of ours said he went into local barber shop and couldn't get chair, because of the presence of So many ladies seeking the lat {. est in bobs. He then went to a baseball game, ; in which one of the contesting teams was composed of gitls He was inclined to be- : lieve that times really have changed.-Al-, bany-Decatur Daily. Hard to Get Local News.- Gathering local news is an easy matter for some towns, where there are but a couple of trains day and all business houses are located in bunch not so in Greenville, however, where the business section Is scattered up and down three-quarters of mile of street; and there are fourteen passenger trains and a half < dozen roads to watch.-Greenville Advocate
 Value of Useful Occupation.-we are told that every man should be engaged in some useful occupation, something which is need full and which makes the world better as a result. We often wonder how the human fly" reconciles his occupation to this theory. And we just as often wonder why we hu- man beings will encourage such a one to continue in that enterprise. Jour- nal
 Should Send More Young Men.-Alabama has sixty-eight young men in the citizens training camp at Mcclellan. Georgia has F166. South Carolina has 2S1. Only Missis- sippi with 59 has furnishd smaller number than Alabama. This isn't a good record. 2 Alabama should have more young men in training. This indicates that this state doesn't understand what the American government ais seeking to do for the young men. If the state does understand, she is guilty of breach of duty.-Montgomery Journal
 Wants to Know Its PositiOn.--Last week this paper carried an editorial requesting the Birmingham News to state it's exact position on Muscle Shoals We asked that the people of this district and over Alabama be given a definite statement of the papers position. As they have not answered the question we believe that they are against Henry Ford and Muscle Shoals now, and that they have always been against Ford at Muscle Shoals.-Sheffield Standard.
 No Chance for Such Party.-The self respecting person cannot help being filled with disgust when he reads the platform of the new third party as drawn up under the domination of the communists. If there is anything worse that could have been in- cluded in it, it was because it escaped at tention of those guilty of perpetrating the platform upon the public. We have very much to be thankful for in this country, but nothing possibly of more consequence than the fact that there is absolutely no chance for such party to succeed in this country Huntsville Star.
 To Be in the First Class.-On the first of { July the Florence post office will automatic. ally become rated as one in the first class, the receipts for the fiscal year showing an excess of $3,000 over the required figures of $40,000, which is a gain of $7,000 over the figures for the preceding year. The entry of Florence into firstrclass rating makes eleven such post offices in Alabama and gives it the opportunity of being considered for increased facilities and additional working force as may prove necessary. With the vol ume of business continuing to show the same rate of increase, Postmaster Cathey states that total of $50,00O will probably be shown for the current year. Other post of- fices in Alabama which are in the first class are Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, An niston, Gadsden, Selma, Tuscaloosa, Hunts yille Ensley and Dothan-Florence Times
