LIEUTENANT JONES
Ordered to Montgomery to Audit Mill
 tary Accounts.

Lieutenant Sam G. Jones, of the Fifth United States cavalry, passed through the city yesterday on his way to Montgomery from Michigan, where he has been on Q sick leave.
 Lieutenant Jones before the war was the special army officer of the government stationed with the Alabama troops. As soon as war was declared he was ordered to join his regiment. He remained with it for a month at Tampa and was then taken very sick. He was given furlough and since that time has been recuperating in the north. He has been ordered back to Montgomery to represent the government in the settlement of accounts with the state over the movement of troops at the beginning of the war, and it is thought that he will also be consulted in the mat ter of recognizing the national guard of the state.
 In this connection there is a great deal of discussion among the officers of the First the reports from Montgomery that this regiment will take its old name of the Third Alabama. They say that as they were the first to volunteer when their services were needed by their country, that they are entitled to be known as the First Alabama when the national guard is reor- ganized

This is particularly the case with the young writer, Laura Jean Libbey, who ever since she gained name and fame through her love stories has been living in magnificent style on Brooklyn Heights, driving her team and luxuriating in everything that money and taste could buy.
 It is no secret that for years Miss Lib bey's heart has been besieged by numerous suitors who have loved her, H)t, let it be said. for her money but for ner manners and personality. She is one of the most charming women in the world. To all these admirers she said no, and it was therefore
