 ''Mrs. Sims. Clarksburg, w. Va:
 Dear Madam-It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your son. Earl Sims, who is about the most worthless scoundrel ever saw, Is a deserter from the U. s. Army.

TEST NEW TENDERS
MAYOR TEAGUE WILL WITNESS
 EXPERIMENT.
All of the New Tenders VIII B' Tested On Various Cars And
 Selection Made.

In spite of the fact that the City Council on Monday night refused to take action on a communication from Mayor Teague, in which the chief ex- ecutive of the city requested the pres ence of the Aldermen at the new car barns this afternoon, for the purpose of testing six lenders which General Manager W. H. Ragland. of the Traction Company, has brought to Montgomery, the experiment will, nevertheless, be made. and at the point designated.
 when the communication of the Mayor, extending the invitation, was read, the letter was, upon vote, re- ceived by the Aldermen and filed, with out discussion The city fathers did not express their intentions either way-whether glad of the early solu- tion which was in prospect or not.
 At the last stated time for the fem der investigation and experiment, only one of the Aldermen, T. Gardner Eos ter, was present. Owing to the fact that the representation was not pres- ent which was desired, the Mayor and Manager Ragland decided that the ex- pertinent would be better postponed At that time only four lenders had been received.
 Since then the company has received two additional lenders, both of which come to Montgomery highly recom- mended. It is thought quite probable that out of the apparatus which hai been collected together, the counci representatives will be able to make 6 selection that will give entire. satisfac ton, and with this end in view, the company has been particularly desir' ous of having the matter seetled. Th' company has promised to purchase an, selection that the aldermen nigh agree upon.
 Mayor Teague said yesterday that h intended xo go to the new car barni this afternoon, when the experiment unless difficulties arise, will take place All of the lenders will be tested ol various cars of the company, and { selection will be made that will giv' satisfaction on all sorts of grades an' street conditions.
