 to Be Brigadier.
Montgomery Is Doing Her Duty, Official Personais-Supreme
 Court Decisions.

Relative 10 the brigade encampment which as camp of instruction will take up at least three weeks, it is now known that, as far as the brigadier generalship is con- cerned, Ex- Governor Jones not only is not an applicant but he will not accept the office, under any circumstances, even if rendered to him. His increasing, no in . considerable, law practice does not per- init him in justice to his many clients, if not for other private reasons, to continue any longer in active military service of Alabama. Besides he has about passed his semi-centenn nial, most of which time he spent in military life.

It is benev' olent and social order and promises to do much good in their sphere of usefulness. '- THE EASTER CALICO BALL of the young Hebrews at the Standard to- night was a splendid affair.
