Decatur Democrat, Volume 46, Number 47, Decatur, Adams County, 29 January 1903 — Page 2

Frurn Major Allison. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 19,1903. Editor Daily Democrat: When Mrs. Allison and myself left Decatur on the 12th, it was with the expectation of reaching Cincinnati in time to catch the train leaving over the L. & N. railroad at six o'clock p. tn.. but were badly disappointed and had to remain until eleven o'clock, but fortunately were able to get our sleeper after nine and had a very satisfying sleep, and arrived in this city in the afternoon of Tuesday and found our people in waiting. The snow had almost disappeared after we got as far south as Hamilton, Ohio, and the weather more moderate after we crossed into old Kentucky. We took dinner at Nashville, where we were delayed in waiting for the train from Chicago, it being about one hour late. Nothing worthy of relating occurred on the journey down, unless it was that our train was loaded down with people like ourselves, trying to escape from the extreme cold in the north. Here in Birmingham the weather has been very fine, clear but crisp, the mercury standing about forty-six degrees, until today, when it went up about ten degrees, and reminds me of an April day in Indiana. This city has improved wonderfully since I was here one year ago, both in population and wealth. The new city directory now claims 115,000 inhabitants in Birmingham and the small villages surrounding it. The demand for mechanics is much greater than the supply, as spring approaches, as the builders have contracts that will keep them busy for months to come. Thev are putting up some sky-scrap-ers, one the Woodward, ten stories high, jusi having been completed. It is now fully occupied and is said to have twelve hundred occupants. Two others in course of construction are the First National bank building on the corner of Twentieth street and Second avenue, to be ten stories, 50x 140 feet, a corker when done. Then there is another one nearly up on Twenty-first street and Third avenue, 40x100* feet and eight stories high. These buildings are constructed of steel, brick and granite and are supposed to be as near fire proof as can be made. They are and will be substantial and beautiful structures, and would be an honor to any city in the country. Business is not equal to what it was before the holidays, except the iron business, which is booming. the furnaces all having orders ahead to keep them busy throughout the season. The coal mines are also doing a heavy trade and you would think to the axnannt of cars loaded with the black diamonds passing through the city, that there was no scarcity anywhere; and if it was not for high freight rates there is no reason why coal should not be cheap, as I understand it is loaded in cars at the mines at from one to two dollars per ton. and even for leas money in large quantities. This part of Alabama is rough and there is not much cotton raised, it being a mineral country. Mrs. Allison and myself expect to leave here for Florida about one week from todav, and it may be that vour readers will hear from me down in the orange blossom country. Hoping that the weather has moderated in Indiana and wishing you success in the publication of the Daily Democrat, I am, yours truly. Major. In bed four weeks with lagrippe. We have received the following letter from Ray Kemp, of Angola. Indiana: "I was in bed four weeks with lagrippe and I tried many remedies and spent considerable for treatment with physicians. but I received no relief until I tried Foley's Honey and Tar. Two small bottles of this medicine cured me and I now use it exclusivelv in my family." Take no substitutes. Holthouse Drug Co. i
