THE FISiST SECTIONS OF THE STATE Its Busin* s", T. ople. Enterprises and Hospitality—Two Leading Meichnnt. and Th* ir Trade- One of the finest sections of North Alabama lies on the elevated plateau of Sand Mountain. It is well watered, well timpered, the lands are free and easy of tillage, the health is perfect, and both the air and water as pure as can be found in any mountain region on this globe. For years this beautiful section of country remained in comparative Ob scurity,but a few energetic men finally spied out the lands and found that like Canaan of old it was a varitable re gion, flowing with milk and honey. Their success attracted the attention of others, and the settlement of this country followed with phenomenal rapidity. Beautiful farms are laid out with tasteful and comfortable farm houses built thereon, towns began to spring up, and Albertville, the Metropolis of North and East Alabama came into existence. The town is located cn a beautiful plateau eleven hundred feet above the sea level, and many beautiful public bnildings and residences have been constructed in the last few years. Successful merchants have erected substantial business houses and many elegant residences have been located in this embryo metropolis and its at tractive suburbs. One of the district public schools of the state was located at Albertville a few years ago., constituting another attraction for those seeking homes in a prosperous town There are churches of the various denominations with large and handsome buildings, and the social status of the town is far su perior to that of many more preten tious localities. There are quite a number of manu facturing establishments, all of which are flourishing, and Albertville en joys an enormous trade among the thriving farmers of the surrounding section. The roads are built on nat ural roadbeds, sothat communication is easy and the merchants carrv such apt o date stocks, sell at such reason able prices and give such ample re turns for all products brought to that market, that it is small wonder that the town has grown so rapidly, FACTORS IN ITS PROGRESS, Mr. L. S. Emmett is the oldest mer chant in Albertville, and one of the prime factors in its progress. His right hand man is Mr. Thomas B. McNaron. who has occupied the position of book-keeper for Mr. Em mett during the past five years. Mr. McNaron came from Collinsville Ala., where he received a good common school education, afterwards gradu ating with honor from the Kentucky university at Lexington, having taken the full course in the business de partment. After coming to Albertville his ge nial manners and fine business quali fications soon won for him the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He married the accomplished daugh ter of Mr. Emmett, and settled down to business in a beautiful home on one of the principal streets of the town, and since then his rise in the business and social world has been very rapid. He is one of the best equipped young men in North Alabama, and has been engaged in many of the most important transactions that have added to the wealth and prosperity of his town. He enjoys a large acquaint anceship throughput the whole coun trj”, which hes been of vast advantage io him in the consumation of his ex tensive business transactions, and in forming strong connections with other important business concerns. Besides being a most accomplished book keeper, Mr. McNaron has made a success in the hotel business,a large amount of which is direct ly attributa ble to the good taste and judgment of his wife, who was Miss Lula Emmett. She is a lady o' rare culture and re finement. having taken a two years’ course in art in the seminary college of Cleveland, Tenn., which added a Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair, •DR; VW F CREAM BAKINfi POWRIR MOST PERFECT MADE. pbre Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.

Those in search of information re garding Albertville and Sand Moun tain can always learn all that they’ desire to know of its progress and of the outlook of the country at large, and of Albertville in particular, from Mr. McNaron. One of the men who has been largely conducive to the growth and prosperity of Albertville is Mr. J. L Chambers, a thoroughbred Georgian who removed to that thriving place some years ago from Rome and soon identified himself thor oughly with the advancement of the town. He was elected mayor and served the people with the most satisfactory efficiency and has ever been both as a business man and official one of the prime factors in the progress of Albert ville.
