land owner would onen a ronl office in this city in a few days aud would make a specialty of mineral lands in Bibb Tuscaloosa and Jefferson Pintles With this exception the irket was ouiet and feirurola wii perhaps a slight fading off of sales due to he bad weather and the enthusiasm ove? the elecfon Building has been partially suspend ed for some days but if the weather continues warm as on yesterday car penters will have more than they can The rapid erection of handsome build ings residences an 1 business houses nas Deen iter to the it is a wi hin tbelas tvo moithsnearlv all rhe

suam in value with agood de mand and is being bought for homes by nr 4 I I lAjirti whu Binau means There is still a irreat demand for hnuaaa and although buildings are erected as fast as men and means can put them tip 1 many people who would come here live must wait until they can find homes Houses are rented before the building derial is on the ground and are often moved into before they are finished Many property holders give their ap plicants the privilege of designing the plans and have bouses built to suit their convenience This gives renters an opportunity to get a house suited to tbeir necessities so that they do sot have to pay for an eight or tea room house when they only need four or six and the rule works both ways Now that the city is assured two more year of the same wise government hich has distinguished it the past four years Birmingham will gather sew life and the great thingoof the past will then appear as a disconnected dream when compared with the marvelous realities to confront us O'Brien's Opera Homs To night Miss oray th and the strong est dramatic company that has appeared this season in a ver? strong and emotion al play by Armony Kaux of iv xas 7

discussion has been the race for mayor and the contest has been par ticularly interesting from the fact that two such popular and competent citi zens presented themselves as candidates for the honor It is not probable that any man in the city could have held Mr Lane even a close race and it is only justice to say that Dr Luckie made a good run The negroes were particularly enthusiastic during the election each candidate hav ing a large number of warm admirers among the colored race There was some scratching of aiderman tickets but the Lane board of aidermen were elected by a handsome majority The following is the number of votes received by the candidates for mayor: a Lae li irst Wari 230' 5econd A'artl 9sn Tiiird 223 ourth Word 410 1 1146 Total vote 1766 majority The result was known i
