calendar gave 365 days to the common
year. and $50 days to leap year. 1t
will be noted that this Julian year
was exactly like the modern Christian
year. except in the number of DAYS
given to February and to each of the
last five months. Now we shall find
it interesting to note the changes that
were made in this calendar, from time
to time, until it came to have its pres
ent Christian form. First of all, julius
Caesar changed the name of the
seventh month from Quintilis to julius
(July), because it was the month in
which he was born. Then. later on.
Augustus Caesar changed the name of
SeXtilis to Augustus tAugust. be-
cause in it he had won several vic
tories, and hence regarded it as a
lucky month. But he could not toler.
ate the thought that the month named
in honor of himself should have fewer
days than the one named in honor of
his Uncle Julius. So he took one day
away from February and gave it to
August This resulted in changing
the number Of days in February and
in each of the last five months: and
consequently gave to the civil year
the exact form which it has today.
But while the form of the year. in
the matter of months and days. was
settled, yet its length. in minutes and
seconds. was not yet definitely deter
mined. The civil year now was Just
a little longer than the solar year. so
that by the year 1882 A. d. the legal
calendar was ten days in advance of

pitality-his pleasure in it's free and urrestrained expression.
 He has planned another pleasure for ms guests, delightful arbor of grape vines. which makes one great summer house. Che steps from his bed room Into the arboral comforts of this sum mer> house. And in the Spring and Summer so thick is the foliage of the trained grape vines that the sun never penetrates 1t. And here too, are swing ing settees and benches for the tired and dreamy to forget the world and let the hours speed on unmolested and unchecked. And aI4 for his friends is this-for Captain Alba lives alone here, but for their frequent presence and but for that time when the place is brightened by the presence of his little grand daughter who Is now in school.
 Much, much more might be said of the barn, built better than half the white farm houses of Alabama, of the homemade water works and sanitary system, the wired and screened chick en yards, the cattle, the goats, the dogs, the monkey, the parrot and a score of other things which lend in- terest to this beautiful summer home.
 That he has spent $30,000 upon it can be easily believed. And now a syndicate is endeavoring to get hold of 1t to turn 1t into a modern hotel to give the public the benefit of its summer delights. It is possible that such a thing may be done.

 The musicale by Mrs. Ritter and her class at the auditorium of the public school building last night for the ben- eft of the pipe organ fund or the Meth odist Church was successful both from a social and pecuniary standpoint. It was necessary to light the building with lamps as the city's now famous electric lighting system Is again out of order.

OFFICERS ARE SILENT
MANY RELIEVE AUTHORITIES KNOW CHRISTMAS MURDERERS.
EtranEe and Improbable story from Houston County Regarding Riley CIarlk's Appetite and
 How He Satisfies xt.

Dothan, Feb 13.--(Special. )-There continues to be a dearth of news from the Cottonwood community regarding tErssterrible murder committed there in which the Christmas family father, mother and son. lost their lives at the hands of fends whose identity Is as yet unknown. The crime remains shrouded in the same degree of mystery which has enveloped 1t from the first; at least this is true so far as an in- terested public is concerned. If the officers of the law know anything of a clue they are keeping 1t to themselves. Many believe that the authorities ac- tually know who committed the murder and that they are for the present keep Ing the name or names secret for some good reason. Whether or not this be true 1t is quite certain that the Intense anger prevailing in the community has not Iessened, and the people for miles around are in a dangerous mood.
 Riley Clark, a white man living four miles south of Dothan, has firmly es- tablished @ reputation here for ability to get on the outside of almost any amount of edibles that may happen to some his way. MT. Clark stopped by 8 fruit stand where he ate forty ripe bananas, a pound and a half of candy and cents bag of peanuts. From there, in company with a few friends, he proceeded to local cafe and asked for oysters, eating two dozen raw and a stew. His mild hunger not being entirely satisfied he proceeded to gob- ble up forty-eight fried eggs, a large beefsteak, three loaves of bread and drank eight cups of strong, black cof- fee. His only regret seemed to be that he had not eaten more bananas, as he says he is very fond of them. An in- terested spectator who asked Mir. Clark what his average meal was received a reply that he usually ate about a pound and @ half of meat of some variety, three or four pones of cornbread, fif- teen biscuit. with molasses, and a va Tiety of other appetizing things. A few nights before, he said, he had eaten peck of peas, boiled. Mir. Clark's per-
