Colonel John Bell Bigger since the Legis-

whether certain bills received the Gov |
ernor's approval. Colonel Bigger Is ex- |
pected TO be in his office to-day. Work |
on the acts is progressing but they will !
not be ready for the printer for several !
days. The printed volume will contain
over 1000 pages, many more than ever
before.
Busy Force.

days than Auditor Marye and his clerks
The recent Legislature, by the enactmen;
Of certain laws, increased the labor in
this department, at least temporarily
and the head, and those under him, are
worked to the utmost. In some cases, |
notably that Of the Parks law, requiring |
the listing of bonds for taxation, new
blanks were necessary, and these have
been prepared and sent out for the use
of the commissioners of the revenue.
This law makes very little change in the
former law.

that Lieutenant-Colonel Granville Gaines.

colonel of the Third Regiment by the
on-commissioned officers who meet at
Charlottesville to choose n successor to
Colonel William Male, now Adjutant-
General. Colonel Gaines is the ranking
ieutenant-coonel in Virginia, having
been commissioned November 10. 1888.
In the event of the election of Colonel
Gaines there will be a general moving
ID OF the officers. His successor will be |
Major II. c. Burrows, of Charlottesville, |
Who, in turn, will be succeeded by Cap | I
ain Thomas S. Kellar, of Company ID, |
Charlottesville, who is the ranking cap ;
ain in Virginia, having received his
in 1887.
