THE Ex-oFF1C1o JUSTICES.
They Will Probably be Elected at the
Present Term of Court,

There is a seemingly well-grounded rumor
that there is to be new departure in the
election of the ex-officio Justices of Chat
ham county. Heretofore the grand jury OF
the Superior Court has elected these officers
at the June term of the court, but it is held
that they should be elected at the March
term
A MORNING NEWS reporter was unable
to see Solicitor General duBignon yester-
day afternoon, as he was out of the city,
and the rumor could not be corroborated,
but it is pretty generally understood that
Chatham county has not been conforming
to the custom which has obtained in other
counties, and which is held to be within the
meaning of the statute.
1t is believed that the present grand jury
will, at the present March term elect eight
ex-otficio Justices. Whether the present
officials will be retained is, of course,
question of the widest conjecture.
The following are the Magistrates
ex-otficio whose successors are to be elected:
City of Savannah First district Michael
Naughtin; Second district, Warning Russell,
Jr.; Third district, w. H. Patterson;
Fourth district, s. Elsinger.
Country-Fifth district, A Bonaud;
Sixth district, James Buckner; Seventh
district, Mcleod King; Eighth district,
Van r. Winkler

FLORIDA and her young alligators will

yesterday to young lady friend.
How is that1' she queried
"Well, this bird rage can't last always in
the millinery line. There must come a
change, and the young alligator is going to
be very stylish trimming some day. It's
working that way very rapidly. Just look
at alligator slippers with fur Innings; alli-

likely to happen than the introduction Of
stuffed young alligators into the millinery

young alligator, just emerging from a clump
OF bright green rushes and yellow canes,

emerged there is no need to contine this
scene strictly to Florida, the glimmering
sheet of water could be surrounded with tall
palms, a few well-loaded banana trees, and
to make the thing more realistic few col
