Always at home!

HUNTSVILLE LAND
OFFICE ABOLISHED
ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ARE OR.
DERED MOVED TO MONTGoM.
ERY-TWO MEN ARE NOW OUT
OF JOBS.

Montgomery, January 2-(Special)-
The surprise of the day was the an
nouncement, received in the early MORN
Ing mail, that the United States. land
office at Huntsville had been abolished
and all the archives and records moved
to Montgomery, amounting to consol-
dation of the two offices at Montgomery,
though there has been for a long time
so little business at Huntsville as to make
the necessity for keeping open there mea-
ger. The change takes effect February
next, by order of J. II. Fimble, acting
Commissioner Of the General Land Office
at Washington 1t is ordered also that
notice of the change be posted in the
leading cities OF the State and at all the
postofflces
There are, as the matter now stands,
two officials for each one of these land
offices. At Montgomery Robert Barber
is register and N. A. Alexander, a negro,
receiver of public moneys At Huntsville
the register is Judge John A. Steele, with
II. V. Cashin. negro, receiver of public
moneys. That two men are to lose their
places seems without contradiction, and
that TWO OF the men interested are ne
groes is coincidence. 1t is not known
here who will be the ones to lose out.
The order reads that the archives and
records are to be moved to Montgomery,
not the officials, as an interested man
points out. which would seem to Indicate
that the Montgomery men, Barber and
Alexander. were to hold on. IL this Is
so it would seem to be up to the President
and referees to look out for two of the
faithful who are about to become Job
