MOUNT VERNON.

The best is the cheapest in the end is true in regard to wines and whiskey because they are purer and one gains more satisfaction from the use of high grade wine and iwhiskey. The brand of whiskey known as the Mount ver- non is renowned for it's fine flavor and purity. For forty years it has been sold in the open market, and no brand of whiskey has a more enviable reputa- tion. It is put up in square bottles and each bottle has the guaranty label of the distilling company, and the caps are wired and sealed Do not be de- ceived by persons who offer you some- thing just as good. Use the Mount Vernon and no other.

MORE RECRUITS
 MUST BE OBTAINED
For the First Regiment---Fifty More Should Be RaiSed---
 Volunteer Quick.

It Is absolutely necessary that twenty live more volunteers be raised for the First regiment Alabama volunteers, and if pos- sible, Colonel Higdon wants fifty more.
 A telegram was received by General Clark yesterday morning to the effect that the First regiment had been mustered into the service of the government. but that he had to borrow twenty-five from Colonel Cox of the Second Alabama in order to make up his minimum quota. Under the regula- tions each company may be mustered in with only eighty-one men, but the full quota is eighty-four men, and it would never do for the First to go in with less than that number. For that reason at least nifty men are needed.
 Transportation has been arranged for all the recruits who will volunteer, and 1t can be had by applying to General Clarks office on First avenue. There seems to be a S. position on the part of many to hold back and wait for the second call for volunteers by the president. But the volunteers who go in under the first call are in much bet ter fix than any of those that are to fol- low.
 The boys in Mobile are all in excellent health, General Clark says. They are fully accustomed to the army bi of fare, and nearly all of them are increasing in weight under the treatment The volunteers who were mustered in yesterday receivd abso- lutely everything they needed in the way of clothing One uniform of regulation blue, one of light duck for the Cuban cam paign, good shoes, socks, under-clothir g, shirts. etc. The boys are all broke now, but General Clark says that pay day is coming soon, and then the camp will simply be rolling in wealth, and very little to spend 1t for.
 The horses to be used by the officers of the First regiment will be sent down to Mobile today, The Louisville and Nash vile railroad has very kindly volunteered to ship the animals free of charge, whch is a great relief to the officers who are compelled to buy their own horses. The government doesn't furnish horses for this purpose. Indeed Uncle Sam is a great deal kinder and more considerate to the com mon soldier than he is to the officer. The trappings for Chaplain Fitzsimmons horse, which are to be presented to him by the local lodge of the Knights Tefnplar, are to arrive today and will be sent down to Mobile along with the horses.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONvEN TON.
They Will Probably Support the "Cits" Ticket
 and Dr.. Moseley for Governor.

The republicans of Jefferson county will The beats held meetings Saturday and it is thought that all will be represented.
 The word probably" figures very strong in any prognostication of what will be done. However, it is given out from high authority that there will be no county ticket put out. The tip is that the much talked of ''cits'' ticket will be supported with the addition of several republicans who may be given places.
 As to who will be given the guberna- torial delegation the name of Moseley, of Singapore fame, is whispered about. In fact, Dr. Moseley and his friends claim that he will be the nominee.
 There are others who say Fitzpatrick of Bridgeport, will be the state nominee, if such a nomination is made. There are rumors of all sorts Of schemes in the air.
 One of these has been punctured by the failure to get rid of Dr. Moseley. The plan was. it is said. to ship him to Singa- pore and give Fitzpatrick ] clear track for the gubernatorial nomination. fusion would be formed with the populists The race would be made, Fitzpatrick of Boom Town fame would be the martyr and would control the patronage.
 What effect the failure of Dr. Moseley to down will have is hard to judge. There are many ''who say the scheme will yet work. and that gentleman will be left out in the <londike.
 It is evident that he desired to go to Singapore A gentleman who left Wash ington Sunday was assured by the wiley doctor that he already had the appoint meDt in his saddle bags.
