Lieutentant Smith Promoted.

As noted in The Advertisers Mobile column some time ago q vacancy occur red in the commissioned stan of A Com pany. Mobile Cadets, due to the resigna- ton of First Lieutenant Wm. T. Kelly. Last night. after a previous failure, the vacancy was filled by the unanimous cleo ton of Second Lieutenant s. IT, Smith. Lieutenant Smith is one of the most popular members of the Mobile battalion and fis promotion by unanimous vote was a testimonial from his comrades which he says he appreciates in tiae fullest The promotion of Second Lieutenant S. H, Smith again left a vacancy arl an election was entered into, There were two candidates named, First Sergeant A. Lee Smith and Third Sergeant Robert Ennis. both popular non-commissionedo of- fceFs. After fifteen ballots, lasting until nearly midnight, no election was declared. There are fifty-four names on the roster of the Cadets and to elect 1t Is necessary for candidate to get majority of that number. Owing to absence of several members neither candidate was successful and the two young men will have to go into the arena again.
 There seems to have cropped out a peculiar condition among the soldier boys of the Mobile battalion as regards the location of the coming camps. It was ,intimated last night by one of the cap tains after muster, that the site of old Camp Coppinger would be selected and the announcement created quite breeze for time. Many had hoped the 1st regi, nlent would so to Chickamauga. but this having fallen through the men expressed hope that some site other than a local one would be selected. There Is a genuine antipathy to Camp Coppinger and an effort will be, made to have another site selected, if possible.

THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS.
Some Timely Suggestions for Utilizing
 Autumn Leaves.

The most appropriate decorations for

 CTS in profusion. If your home is too far north for the frost to spare you these outdoor treasures. you can gather them early and keep many of them in cool room; the autumn leaves may be pressed with an iron that has been passed over parafine wax. as you would iron bit of linen to give it polish. Corn husks may be gathered and stored, and among the vegetables which are put away for win ter use select those which are best and richest in color. and lay them aside for your scheme of decoration. says a writer In the November Housekeeper. For flow CTS, choose yellow chrysanthemums. Yei- low seems as much in keeping for Thanksgiving as red for Christmas, and If you are where the golden-rod blossoms in November you will hardly need chry- santhemums, unless it is to give some variety. walk or drive some country road will reveal surprising possibilities
