Too much cannot be said in praise
of the appointment of former GOven-

al and progressive democrat available
Elk Gov. Jones belongs to the aris-
tocracy of the South-the class who

nulses of that section. His two term;

Interesting Ceremony of Locking Then

Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar Is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of military guard, preceded by a regi- mental band, which plays inspiring Ia. nillar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure On arriving at the gates, the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- oled peal of triumph, while the great doors eloWly swing to, and are solemn ly locked for the night Then right about turn, and the procession marches back to the convent 10 deposit the keys In the governors keeping, conveying by its passage an assurance to the peo- pie and garrison that they may rest in peace. Once the gates are shut it were easier for camel to pass through the eye of needle than for any unauthor- tzed person to go into Gibraltar.
