Come when you will. you will find our hats marked exceedingly low always. We do not have to mention this fact in every one of our ads. The women of Montgomery and vicinity are perfectly aware of it. They're likewise aware of the fact that for becoming and exclusive headgear Knowles are in the front rank.
 The creative power of our head mllner is on a par with that of the French artist. Wish you could see the nmble and delft fingers of her assist ants execute her orders. After the final touch and twist has been given that hat. what gem of art you behold! What vision of Ioveness!
 Have you decided on your trip to the Expos- ton, to some mountain resort or the seashore? Your hat, is it ready? If not, honor us with your visit you'll be delighted with the result.

HISTORICAL ANNIvERsARY.

 Was Moved.

Date on Which Confederafe Capital
 Was Moved.
 Yesterday was the anniversary of an important event in Montgomery's history. but the anniversary went unnoticed and unmarked. The twenty-flrst of May was the anniversary of the day on which Montgomery ceased to be the capital of the Confederacy.
 On that day in 1881 the city of Mont- gomery ceased to be the Cradle of the Confederacy. The Provisional Congress which had held two short sessions in the spring and winter of 1881 in Montgomery adjourned to meet in Richmond. The last session of the Provisional Congress of the Confectionery met in this city on March 19 and continued in session until May 21.
 The Confederate Congress met in Rich mond on July 20 and its sessions were held there until the hosts of Grant closed in around the fated capital of the Con- and strangled to death the gov ernment which had endured through four years of strife and blood shed.

The college certificate privilege can be obtained by only one means, name ly, the school must send pupils so well prepared that the entrance. examina- tions are passed, not only uncondition- ally, but the papers must show an un- usual degree Of excellence.
 It must be borne in mind that this certificate privilege is retained only as long as all the pupils sent keep up the same standard of scholarship This recognition by the colleges of the ex- celIence of Its work. Is the only thing which gives a private school any real standing. Adv.

THE CALHOUN-CHAMBERLATN,s
 CERTIFICATE PRIVILEGE

(Communicated.)
 Several of the patrons of the Cal- n-Chamber1ain School have re- quested Miss Calhoun of the Calhoun Chamberlain School to publish the following letters and explain just what is meant by a preparatory school as having college certificate privi- leRe.
 When school has a vassar certifi- cate privilege 1t means that the Rrad- uates of that school may enter vas- sar without examinations. The pupils simply present certificates instead of being examined for entrance. The un-Chamberlain School formerly of Red Bank, N. J., now of Montgomery, has this privilege with Vassar and with Brown University of Providence. The following letters ex- plain themselves:
 vassar College,
 Poughkeepsie, N. r.,
 ofice of the Secretary,
 March Is, 1904. Miss I. F. Calhoun:
 Dear Madam-At a recent meeting of the Faculty it was voted to extend to the Calhoun Chamberlain School the certificate privilege formerly held wien this school was located at Red Bank. This means that your pupils may pre- sent certificates instead of examina- tions for entrance to our freshman class for subjects that they have re- gently completed according to the re- Of our catalogue.
 Yours very truly,
 Ella McCaIeb.
