Brooks. are the best people In the

J. Brooks. are the best people In the world.
 "Mr Brooks looks carefully after the home and Mrs. Brooks Is as gentle and kind as a mother to all the inmates" said MT. Hall. "She visits every cottage every day and looks personally after the wants of the rooms of the inmates, and every old soldier in the home speaks in highest praise of her kindly interest in them.
 ''It is unnecessary to say that we old soldiers love Captain Fallxner and believe he Is the best man in the world. He is the old soldiers friends and visits the home regularly"
 MT. Hall was formely of this city and will remain over till tomorrow visiting his old friends before returning to Noun tain Creek.
 Must Pay for Paving.
 By a decision of the supreme court yesterday afternoon everybody in Mont gomery who owes the city any paving tax under the baby bond act Is bound to pay it. The application for a rehearing In the case of the city council of Mont gomery vs. Ella Moore, was overruled and now the city of Montgomery is victor. Several weeks ago the supreme court decided the paving case in favor of the city. The defendants applied for re- hearing but are denied it. On motion of Alderman Gunter, the city council at it's last meeting decided to al- low property owners until August 1 to pay the paving taxes due by the decision of the court The refusal to grant a re- hearing means many thousand dollars to the city. Those property owners whose paving was done under general ordinances and that includes nearly all the side walks already paved-are not effected by the decision. The supreme court has al ready affirmed the Foster case in which all general ordinances for paving were -eclared void
 Baseball Case.
 w. T. Robertson and the Montgomery Traction company can now enjoin the Montgomery Baseball association from playing games at Oak Park. The supreme court of Alabama decided that point yes- terday afternoon. The Montgomery Base ball association, In their original bill, tried to restrain any one from enjoining them from playing games at Oak Park. The bill was filed in the chancery court and Chancellor Parks upheld the asso- ciation.
 The supreme court reverses Chancellor Parks decision and renders the case for the defendants. It is not known yet whether W. T. Robertson or any of his associates will enjoin the baseball asso- ciation. Neither MT. Robertson nor his attorney could tell this morning what action would be taken, although 1t was casually remarked that something might be doing MT. Robertson and his friends are elated over the victory.
