LOCATING COURT HOUSE.
The Question is Troubling Tuscaloosa
 County Commissioners.

Tuscaloosa, October 19. = Special J. Since 1t has been decided by the county commissioners to erect a new court house, it is the opinion of many that the lot on which the present building is loca- ted, which is 92x132 feet, is insufficient for the new building, which has been pro- posed Mir James H. Fitts, president of the City National bank, and one of Tus- caloosas most progressive citizens, ap- peared before the commissioners yester- day and made strong appeal for a change in the location. He stated in the beginning that he had no personal inter- est in the matter, save for the welfare of the town. MT. Fits idea is to secure the lot on Seventh street and Greensboro avenue, adjoining the present building, which is the property of Dr. John Little
 This lot is 132x165 feet and Dr. Little has agreed to exchange it for the lot on which the court house Is situated and will pay $3000 additional. Mir. Fitts fur thermore stated that 1T still more room was necessary that the lot to the east of the Little property could be secured from Capt. H. P. Walker for $6000 thus giving ample space. He stated that if this plan did not meet with the approval of the board that the two lots could be purchased by the county and retain the one on which the court house stands and with necessary improvements on the present building it could be rented for offices and give the county good in- come. Both of these suggestions will be well considered by the commissioners before any definite step is taken.

SILVER WEDDING OF
 COL. AND MRS. LONG
THESE PROMINENT PEOPLE OF ALABAMA RECEIVE THEIR FRIENDS AT THE FAMILY HOME IN JAsPER-A SOCIAL EVENT.

Jasper, october 19.-(special)-On Tues day evening last at their beautiful colo nial home Col and Mrs. J. B. Long eel ebrated their silver wedding. It was quite a society event Mrs. Long dressed in black null over moire antique with or naments of diamonds received her guests, assisted by Mrs Robert Young Long, who wore a beautiful dress of black net over pink silk. Miss Douglass Rowe, in Lack grenadine over taffeta, Miss Gave Long in white organdie over blue taf- feta, L. B. Musgrove and Francis Long, brother and son of the bride" also assisted in receiving. Miss Franeilla Haley presided over the punch bowl. Miss White of Florence. dressed in black lace with American Beauties, served the cof- fee, and Miss Coleman of South Carolina in her regal costume of null had charge of the Tree of Fates.
 The decorations were beautiful, and the avenue leading to the house and the en- tire lawn were artistically lighted with Chinese lanterns. Many beautiful pres ents were received by MT. and Mrs Long
 Thirty years ago when Walker county was practically in it's infancy and so- ciety was almost an unknown quality Colonel Long came here in quest of his fortune. Soon after his arrival he met Miss Sue Musgrove, then winsome las- sic of sixteen, and fell desperately in love and by pressing his suit with vigor the ardent lover gained her consent to mar riage. This was an affair of the heart purely.
 A letter from an old friend who reeeiv- ed an invitation to the silver wedding expresses it aptly. Two young hearts of two of the most prominent and power full families in the state twenty-five years past became one in the presence or God and many witnesses. One to share. the iovs and sorrows of life together One to contribute to the happiness of hun dreds of heavy hearted people which you have certainly done. One to travel the way that leads to a better country and a more beautiful land. One to make an earthly home attractive. beautiful and lovely. One to make that home place where every minister of the gospel should find a hearty welcome and cordial greeting. One to be the rendezvous of happy young people, and a place where they should find two hearts cemented In the true bonds of conjugal affection Twenty-Five years together-man and wo- man-lover and weetheart-husband and wife. father and mother of two sweet promising children. Twenty-Five years of counting and consulting and caressing each other when the weary flesh de- manded home-rest and the hungry heart clamored for love"
 It is needless to say that Colonel Long was equal to the occasion in looking after al the men who desired to smoke and otherwise enjoy themselves.
