NO BRIDAL CHAMBER
OLD VETERAN WOULD LIKE TO
 GET MARRIED.
He Writes to Capt. J. M Falkner That Girl Would Wed Him If
 Provision Was Made for
 Them at Soldiers Home.

A conversation with Captain l. M Falkner on the subject of the Soldiers Home, in which he Is so interested and land on which it is being built, recalls the fact that no move. which a patriotic man or woman has ever put on foot, or espoused. has met with more general ap- probation than has this for a home for ind!gent Confederate Veterans.
 Why" said Captain Falkner "I have in one day received $50 worth of fruit trees, two subscriptions of $1OO each that are good as gold, $50 in cash for the Home.
 Tears are brought to my eyes every day" continued he, "by the reading of letters from the indigeat old soldiers who are impatient to find the shelter that is being prepared for them-these old Con- federate soldiers who are now in the various poor houses throughout < the State. There are twelve in the Mobile County poor house alone.'
 He told of ope old soldiers letter and the story of it brought smiles to chase away the tears that had gathered in his and his listeners eyes. The old soldier wrote to ask Captain Falkner If he could get room soon at the Home and asked if he could bring bride-"one of the prettiest girls in Georgia" whom he could marry if he would be allowed to bring her. He assured Captain Falkner that she would make herself useful about the Home.

 The Committee on Wholesale Trade of the Commercial and Industrial Associa- ton has been working up the subject of establishing a better credit system among the jobbers of Montgomery. At their meetings recently the subject has been brought up for discussion and subcommittee has had the matter under investigation. This has rcsulted in the invitation to visit this city of J. C: Clark, manager of tho Credit Clearing House at Atlanta. and also secretary of the At lanta Credit Mems Association. It is probable that a meeting of the jobbers with Mir.

 The supplementary prize list may be found on page l9 of today's issue of The Advertiser. The Dots still remain on page 24
 The conditions ana offers will make the contest clear to every Advertiser reader.
 III order to accommodate all those who are positive their counts are correct an been arranged to be divided betwesn those who make the greatest number of cor rect estimates during the running of the contest Now. MT. Good Counter, its up to you.
 All sorts of combinations are being used to beat the little Dots, one schcme that is proposed is to divide the rectanzle Into small sections. count the Dots in each and add them together without cut tlng. Indeed. 1t would seem like this might be the best way. However each to his liking. Another way is to cut out the Dots in sections with a sharp pen knife. paste them to a card divided into columns. counting each section separate ly. then adding up the columns. after which total of all the columns made will give close-well a number that will make you want to bet on 1t.
 Try this method and see. The fact re. mains that the Dots are there. are to be counted, and that those telling the exact number or nearest 1t are to receive handsome prize until 260 prizes aggregat- ing a value of $725 have been distributed. Not only that, but $l0O additional Is to be divided between those who guess the correct number the greatest number of times during the running of the contest. If you know you have il, this Is a cinch. The Dots can be counted, the only ques- tion is. are you the one to count them correctly or nearest correct?
 Too many counts cannot be received by The Advertiser, and the Sboy or girl or man or woman who sends in a count now Is quite as likely to receive a prize as those who sent in their count last week
 Many peculiar incidents have come to light as result of the contest. one of them being the development of new catch phrase. When a man is seen stand ing on the Curbstone gazing absent-mind. cdly ont into the street nowadays his friend will ask him: Are you counting the Dots?' When q man is doing noth- ing. while appearing deeply interested in something. it is said he is getting Dotty.

 Captain FaIkher says that one cottage Is about completed and that as soon as two are hnished as many veterans will be given home as they will 1coomodate. Ihs plan is that each little cottage will have it's own little plot of garden that the occupants may cultivate. When two cottages are completed the corner stone of the central building will be laid and the public invited to witness the cere. mony. This central building will contain offices for both men and the patriotic women who will have occa sion to use them, the upper floor will be an audi torium where from time to time lectures and music and other such attractions will be presented.
