eastward for the defense of Washing

talions and regiments were flocking
into the mastering camps. With the
volunteers went Bob Bryant as cap

Lieut.. Edwards, while Mrs. Edwards
went back to her old home to await
the return of her husband from the
front
The four years of war dragged wear
lily along. Lieut.. Edwards stuck to
the regular service and rose to the
rank of major, and brevet lieutenant
colonel, as which he commanded his
regiment. Capt. Bryant of the vol

colonel.
At the battle of Gettysburg Col.
Bryant was temporarily in command
of a brigade stationed at Cemetery
Hill. During the first days fighting
his command in company with all
others at that point in the line of

S BOY and man, Col. Brya

BOY and man, Col. Bryant
IA\ had been a soldier. AS boy
Il y his ambition had been a cadet
ship at West Point, and the
army as life career. Blessed with
wealthy parents, there seemed nothing
IN the way to the accomplishment of
his ideal when the opportune time ar
rived. At Is he began course of
study that would fit him to pass the
required examination and admit him
to the United States military acad-
envy. At Is the opportunity came.
There was a vacancy at the academy
to be filled by appointment from his
congressional district, and he entered
eagerly into the competition for the
coveted place, feeling confident of
winning the prize.
His most formidable opponent was
Billy Edwards, the son of a strug-
Cling clergyman, into whose path fate
had thrown no special opportunities
but who had improved every chance
for study that had been given him,
and who wished the appointment
d
sired education.
The two had never been friendly,
and on one of two occasions had had
some boyish quarrels over the atten-
tons each had attempted to be-
stow upon Blossom Nathan. When
Billy Edwards won the coveted ap-
pointment every semblance of friend
ship between the two boys ceased,
and Bob Bryant refused even to as
sociate with anyone who called young
Edwards their friend.
Grievously disappointed in not win
ming the cadetship, young Bryant en-
tered military academy with deter
mination to prepare himself for a
military career, trusting to his ia
theirs wealth and influence to secure
for him an appointment to the army
During their school days both boys
kept up a correspondence with Bios
som Nathan, until at the end of three
years Bryant insisted that she could
not retain the friendship Of both he
and Edwards, and that all correspond
ence between her and his rival must
cease, or her would have nothing more
to do with her. The young lady very
promptly informed her angry sutton
that she would choose her own
friends, and he accepted her deci-
sion.
Six months after Lieut.. Edwards
had graduated from West Point and
entered the army he made Blossom
Nathan his wife, and took her to the
western post, where his command was
stationed.
Bryant in the mountains had fin
ished his college course, and not find
ing it SO easy to secure a civil ap-
pointment to the army, had settled
down to the study of law in his home
town, and confined his military ambi-
lions to place in a local company Of
state guards.
Then came the call to arms to
save the union. The southern states
had seceeded; the flag had been fired

HORACE HOOD IS SHERIFF Governor Names Him to Succeed Belser. WILL TAKE CHARGE TODAY Will Serve in Office For Three
 Years. 
 New omciai Has Not Considered Matt ter of Appointments and win Let Force Remain As It I., For
 Present At Least.
 

As predicted in The Advertiser sew oral days ago. Horace Hood, ST., was yesterday appointed Sherifr of Mont gomery County. to succeed the late s. s. t5olser. who died recently. The ap- potntment of MT. Hood was not unex- pected. as he is not only man capab of filling the office with credit to the county and to himself. but he has also been a warm personal friend of Gov crnor Comer. and has supported the administration in, everything that 1t has undertaken.
 It was understood that one reason for the delay on the part of the Gov ernor in making this appointment was the fact that there was some question as to whether the appointee would fill the full unexpired term, or hold only until the next general election, It was decided that the appointee is to serve the full unexpired term, which will give MT. Hood over three years in this office. -
 While there was a strong fight for other applicants for the place. friends of MT. Hood felt certain throughout that he would bc appointed. He was waited on by committee of his friends within a reasonable length of time after the funeral of the late sheriff, and requested. to enter the race. He had. up to that time, little idea or becoming a candidate As soon as he consented to ask for the appointment, his friends called on the Governor in his interest.
 MT. Hood has not yet gone over the affairs of the ofzice, and will not form ally take charge until sometime today He said yesterday that he has not con- sidered the matter of appointments preferring to let matters stand as they are for the present, at least.
 The fact that Mr. Hood hnd been en- gaged In Journalism in Montgomery the greater part of his lifes~ made his appointment a particularly satisfact- ory one to the newspaper men of the city, as well as of the State Secretary Jacob Pepperman, of the Alabama Press Association, in the name of the State Association immediately for warSed a letter of congratulation to Mir. Hood.
 A meeting of the Montgomery Press Club will today pass suitable resolu- tions on the appointment of Mir. Hood.
 Mir. Hood. who is at present editor and half owner of The Montgomery Journal. came to Montgomery from Monroe County, and has been here since. His first service was with The Montgomery Mail. In 1888 he founded The Montgomery Journal, and has been owner and part owner since.
 He was at one time Representative in the Legislature from Montgomery County and served his constituency with credit and faithfulness.
