BOARDS MUST MEET
COUNTY PENSION EXAMINERS TO
 HOLD SESSION MONDAY.
Attorney General Decides That Impos- sihle Provision Of New Law is Directory and tlaaf Notice
 Need Not Be Given.

A decision rendered yesterday by At torney General Garber anent the re- quirements for Confederate veterans getting their names on the pension lists will be of interest to those who are in doubt as to the Intent of some sec tions of the act.
 All veterans are required to furnish two statements as to their service in the war certified to by reputable wit nesses. If they cannot furnish these, they can appear before the . county board and make an oral statement which will be considered by the board and passed on for the final approval of the State Board.
 Under the act the county boards must meet the first Monday in September and the State Board will meet some Garber's decision is as follows:
 Under terms of Section 3 of this act the County Boards of Sxam- iners are required to hold special ses- sions in their respective counties on the first Monday in septmbr. 1907, of which they are required to give three weeks notice by publication. The act having been approved on August 14. eighteen days before the meeting was required to be held. 1t was for all prac- tical purposes impossible to give this notice, unless the first publication was made on the date of the approval of the act as under Section 3043 of the Code, where notice is required to be given for three weeks the first inser- ton must be at least eighteen days before such day.
 '"rhe provision of the act requiring notice is directory merely and notice for shorter length of time would com ply with the purpose of the statute. In any event there Is but one course for the county boards to take and that is for them to meet as required by the act, regardless of the length of time the notice is published or wheth- CT or not any notice at all has been published"

Some Territorial History of Alahama
 Oldest English Town.
 Huntsville is the oldest English set- tied town in Alabama, and one among the oldest towns in the entire State. Madison County was created by a proc- lamation of Roger Williams, Governor of the Mississippi territory, in 1908. and Huntsville was at that time made the county seat The early history of Huntsville was for those days the his- tory Of the State.
 It was doubtless due to Huntsville being the oldest English settled town in the State that the seat of govern ment was removed from old St. Steph- ems, almost on the southern border of the State. to the little English town among the mountains, not far distant from the line which divides Alabama and Tennessee. In those early days Huntsville claimed population of but q few hundred. The village was sur rounded by unexplored forests where wild beasts roamed. Huntsville was the only town in the Tennessee valley then. and was about as large as any town in the State at that time
 Old St. Stephens. situated on the Tombigbee river in WashinRton Coun. ty. was the first territorial capital. With the exception of the territorial

first Capitol of the State of Alabama was The story of old St Stephens is one of sadness; the story of Huntsville one of sunshine and happiness. old " stephens was once the principal town in Alabama. Today hardly a trace of town remains. Her build inss are gone and her streets are now covered with jungle of vines and bushes. Huntsville has grown and prospered all these years until today she Is one Of the leading cities of North Alabarna- Old St. Stephens never had a church within her borders and her people made no pretenses toward re. shgion Among the buildings that the early settlers of Huntsville erected were houses of religious worship, and her people have always been reiigiously Inclined. Today 1t may we'll be said of Huntsville that she Is city of mag nihcent churches. of institutions of learning. of refinement and of prog. ress. Some one has we'll said that the culture of Huntsville's woman Is only exceeded by their lovely charac- ter and beauty.

YOU. Iris of you I am thinking, dear heart, tonight, As I sit alone and dream Amid the sweet perfume of Flowers And the sad moons tranquil beam. am longing, my darling, for yop--just you, And my heart cries out in fear, When I think of the days and weeks and months must pass without you near. The mocking bird sings me his sweet est songs, And the flowers, gIistening with dew, Send forth their fragrance, my heart to heal. But I only long for you.
