 and Are Made With Most Ex-
 qlisite Needework.
THE lAGS ARE COMPLETED

 ners of war that are to be presented to the First regiment of Alabama Volunteers at Mobile this afternoon.
 All yesterday morning and afternoon the work progressed steadily. All the embroid- cry work was finished and the stripes of the national flag were sewed together, and last night the fringe was put on.
 The coat of arms of the state was most exquisitely painted in w. D. Parrish's studio and was sewed on to the solid blue field of the regimental flag last night.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of the faithful workers who have interested them- selves in this patriotic movement. With Mrs. Charles G. Brown as their chairman, Mrs Zac Smith as secretary and Mrs. w. B. Catchings as the director of the needle work, the whole affair has been admirably managed. The many ladies who have worked on the fagu are too numerous to mention, but that they made a glorious success of the work begun one week from yesterday morning no one will deny. Many of the ladies who worked on the flags had sons and brothers in the volunteer army, and they put their whole heart into every stitch. But there were many of the work CTS who had no personal interest in any of the volunteers of the First Alabama, but who worked with a zeal equal to any of their sisters,
 The ladies of Birmingham more than de- serve the three rousing cheers which they will receive in Mobile this afternoon from the eighteen hundred or more Alabama volunteers there encamped
