Post No. I of the Grand Army of the Republic of Massachusetts is de- sirous of securing some information as to the colors of the goth Massachu- setts, which were captured by the Con- federates at the battle of Reim's Sta tion, va The post wishes to have the ce1ors' returned, If they can be located. even as the Federal Government re- turned the Confederate flags three years ago.
 The letter of inquiry was written to the State authorities by Charles O. Newell of Boston, who was First Ser geant of the goth Massachusetts. It was turned over to Director Thomas M. Owen, of the State Department of Archives and History. There Is no State record of the capture of the coi- ors in question by any Alabama reg iment. The letter of MrI Newell in- dicates that the coiors might have been captured by troops from any of four States, Alabama, Georgia, South Car olina or Mississippi
 The letter is given publicity In the hope that the captured colors can be located.

FOR CHEAPER ROOMS ANNEX TO EXCHANGE HOTEL MAY
 BE BUILT. VIII Likely Be Five Stories High and Wlu Contain Sixty to Seventy Rooms-Architect work
 ing on Plans.

To provide accommodations for per- sons desiring rooms at a lower rate than possible in the present hotels. the stockholders of the Exchange Ho- tel Company are seriously considering the erection of an annex to contain from sixty to eighty rooms on Lee Street at a cost of from S40,00o to $500 An architect is now prepar- ing a sketch of the proposed building and the cowpany will probably know definitely within ten days whether the annex will be built
 Ii is proposed to erect a plain brick building, four, five or six stories high on the lot on Lee Street immediately in the rear of the Exchange Hotel. This lot which has frontage of sev- enty-five feet and Is 100 feet deep. was formerly occupied by the plant or the Exchange Ice Works.
 The demands for moderate priced &C., commodations for a certain class Of guests has been recognized for some time by Manager James E. Hickey or the Exchange Hotel ,and for some time MT. Hickey has contemplated negotia- tions with the company in reference to an annex. Not, however. until four or five days ago was Mir. Hickey au- thorized to see an architect and ascer- tain what could be done. In few days the architect will have a rough
 
 sketch of plans and 1t is very probable that definite action win be taken to- ward the erection of the annex.
 President Simon Gassenheimer of the Exchange Hotel Company, said that while no meeting of the company had yet been held In reference to the build ing, he had seen number of stock holders in person and they were all in favor of the annex.
 'Tt has been out of the question to think of giving rooms in the modern, fire proof New Exchange at $1 per day, for the reason that the cost of erecting and maintaining such a hotel is too great for such a price, and 1t Is the object of the annex to furnish rooms at $1.
 q understand there is seldom day but that a number of persons apply at the Exchange for rooms at $1, and 1t is to meet this demand that we con template the addition. If we should erect building, 1t will be either four. five or six stories high, more probably five, and will be constructed of plain brick"

Many people inherit weak lungs which are likely to Be attacked by consumption. So also are lungs weak ened by disease or by a stubborn hacking cough.
 No matter what the cause Vinol strengthens weak lungs and gives one the power to throw off wasting dis eases.
 The reason that vinol has such power to heal and strengthen is be- cause 1t contains in a highly concen- trated form all of the curative, medic inal and strength-creatfng elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' flyers. with the useless, nauseating oil eliminated and tonic iron added.
 So sure are we of what Vtno1 will do that we ask every person Mont Eomery sufferng from weak lungs stubborn hacking coughs or any wasting disease to try Kinol On our offer to return money if it fails. E G. Fowler, druggist.

A MIND AT PEACE.



The influences OF mind at peace
are beyond all calculating. Those who
understand that the laws OF the sub
tier matters work through thought
functions know that thoughts are
things and go whithersoeyer we send
them, that they build real atmospheres
around us, and hover In clouds above
and about our friends. The harmon
lied and loving mind distills its peace
through all the mental atmosphere,
waiting waves of contentment ana
pleasure as far as they reach. We
know what sweet wholesomeness
seems to be exhaled by the mere pres
enoe Of some people. II is the inner
harmonies of their minds permeating
the mental and moral atmosphere.
1t is by the power OF such gentle
ana healthful influences as these that
we give our finest sympathy to the
distressed. In our presence the wilt
ing flower raises its dropping head.
strength is impaired to the sad and
weary heart, courage TO the despair
