Shortly after eight o'clock about thirty young coup | les chaperoned by Mesdames Enos stewart, A. P. Jones and Land gathered at the Theatre and listened to the beautiful and inspiring strains of Sousa's Band until nearly eleven o'clock and then went to the Elks Home, where they indulged in danc- ing till the wee small hours of the morning.

Among those pres ent were Miss Milhous with Ben How ard, Miss Lucille Virden of Montgomery with Dan Haynes, Miss Annie Welch of Uniontown with Howard Seay, Miss Melville Minge of Faunsdale with Paul stewart, Miss Margaret Forbes of New Jersey with Rob Young.

question of the purchase of these plants will be up to the Council.
 That something important in regard to the purchase Of these plants by the city will be made public. there is little room to doubt. Color is lent to this belief by the visit of Superintendent NJ. L. Worrell, of the Selma Water Company, and President of the Coun- cil W. R. Peacock to New York during the past week. Whether the visit of these two popular Selnians to New York has anything to do with the city purchasing these plants, is not known, but 1t Is generally believed that 1t has.
 The meeting will also consider the report of Auditor Cole. who during the past month has audited the books of the different city officials. It will also very likely adopt some of the recom- mendations that he made in his report to the Mayor.
 The question of filling the vacancy in the City Council from the Fifth Ward. caused by the death of Council man c. ]. Griffin last Monday, may come up at the meeting.

 9hluaa. Fob. 10,

Selma. Feb. lU.
 The three military companies of Sel' ma, representing each branch of the Alabama National Guards, are now practically without commanding om- cerS.
 Captain E. M. Cothran of Troop "c'' Dallas Dragons, sent in his resiSna- tIon as the commanding officer of that connpAnv to Governor Jelks some weeks ago. During the middle of the week Captain | N Eddy and First Lieutenant J Fl. W4afer of Battery ''c." also forwarded their resignstions aa oficers of the battery to Governor Jelks. ... -,.,..
 At the last drill of the Abbott Rifles, Company C." the announcement was made by Captain F. w. Aycock and First Lieutenant Bruce K. Craig that they would resign and their resigna- tions were forwarded to Governor Jelks yesterday afternoon,
 The resignations of these five off, ears of the three Selma companies does rat mean that there is any discord b. tween the officers and the members of fine different companies. The resig- uetion of Captain Aycock is caused by b4s inability to devote the necessary time from his business to tn company and also to his i'll halth. his physi- .fans having advised the step. The resignattou of Lieutenant Craig Is al- 50 caused by his business.
 Eloctions to fill the vacancies have rot wei been ordered but 1t is more tbon probable that each of the com nanies will promote the officers next in command.
