 Paved Road Means Better Business.-The awarding of the contract for the paved high way and the promise of early work on it is good news for Calhoun people, and it espe- cially is good news for the four towns that will be connected with each other by the paved road.

 Tuberculosis Association's Good Work The Alabama Tuberculosis Association is do- ing a splendid work, absolutely worth while, and needs the cooperation of every man, woman and child in the state who are inter- ;,,s fnp AIoho C has been done in other states can be done here, and while our state stands high in pub lie health work, the tuberculosis problem is grave one. The seal sale is the direct means offered to every person to help in this most important work.-Eufaula Citizen. E
 Cotton Crop Looks Better.-Reports from over Lauderdale indicate that the cotton crop is going to be better than had been antici- pated, with a considerably larger yield than was expected several weeks ago, unless un- expected weather conditions prevail. This should increase the prosperity among the people locally to great extent, and the re- cent advance in price will be another factor in making the county and city more prosper Eous. That business conditions for this time on should be excellent cannot be disputed.-- Florence Times.
 l gratulations to our old friend, Gen. J. B. Stanley, on the passage of his sixtieth year as editor of the GreenvilIe Advocate. When this editor last saw him he was young and Igood-looking, and we trust he still is. It is not the passage of years, nor the graying of locks, nor the wrinkling of the face that makes a man old. He is as old as his heart, and the J. B. Stanley we knew carried heart as big as the moon. Greenville has been the eonA fa aif fo hoe n so long, We wish him many more years of usefulness and enjoymentf in the service of his town and country.-Demopolis Times.
 How Huntsville Grows. .aAThe other day we carried an estimate of 21,753 as the estimated population of Greater Huntsville as estab- lished by the city directory just issued but on a careful recount by Secretary II. A. Wheeling of the Chamber of Commerce, it has been found that mistake was made in the esti- mate and that it now stands at 23,307. Suits us and the next thing is to shout the fact to the outside world. Greater Huntsville with a present population of 23,3O7 should teasily be carried into the 60s 600 claks NitAf9
 the next three to five years and every energy should and will be bent in that direction. Let's go Huntsville Times. The Fair A Big Success. --Much credit is due J. G. Scherf, general manager of the Covington county fair for &he wonderful sue cess he achieved in putting the fair over in
 such grand style on so short notice. Mir. Scherf went into the matter with a zeal that is characteristic of this hvstling young busi-v ness man and the attendance which in-
 creased each day showed that the people
 were greatly interested in the exhibits and the various attractions. Mr. Scherf proved
 again that the people of Covington county still want their county fair and fall festival
 It is their meeting place and playground for
 week after they have finished their sum- mer's work-Andalusia Starr
