carries, which now seems certainty, will have a school building second to no town of it's size Tn the state. The bonds will be issued bearing per cent interest and payable in five years with the option in the town to redeem them at any time after the first year. It Is not thought that the board will have to go outside of the town for a single purchaser of these bonds as they have assurances from the citizens of Courtland that every dollar of the money will be forthcoming here. as soon as the issue is ordered by the people.
 Courtland was an applicant for the Law renee County High school, but was de- feated by Moulton and the citizens have decided to have a high school without the aid of tho state and that they will have it running before the Moulton school IS built. The trustees have made contract with Prof McCantz of Madison county to teach the school for the coming year. Prof McCantz taught at Lower Peach Tree, Wilcox county, last year and comes highly recommended. He will employ his own assistants.

When the southern states seeded ona oi the first questions that arose was that of selecting a suitable flag for the Confederacy. After much discussion, the Confederate Congress, which was then Tn session in Montgomery, Ala enacted the following law in regard to the mat ter: "The flag of the Confederate States of America shall consist of a red field with a white space extending horizontal y through the center and equal in width to one-third of the width of the flag, the red above and below to be the same width as the white, the union blue ex- ending down through the white space and stopping at the lower red space; in the center of the union circle of white stars, corresponding in number with the states of the Southern Confectionery"
 A model of this flag was made by the ladies of Montgomery and was retain ed by Congress as a part of the act This model was later removed to Richmond, Va, when that city became the capital of the Confederacy, and was captured with the other archives. At the time the act referred to was passed, only six states had seeded, hence the number of stars on the first flag. This was known as the Stars and Bars
 The similarity of the stars and Bars to the Stars and Stripes led to SO much confusion at the first battle cf Manassas, which was fought July 21, 1Ssl that General Beaureguard offered a de- sign that was adopted and became the official battle flag. It was conceived on the battlefield, lived on the battlefield, and was borne proudly on every field rom Manassas to Appomatox. It is said that Miss Constance Carey afterward Mrs. General Pegram, partly suggested this flag to General Beaureguard.
 The flag adopted in Montgomery in 1861 with stars added from time to time as

other states joined the Confederacy, con- tinued to be the national flag until May l. 1863. At that tine Congress en- acted a bill describing and adopting a flag that was a substitution of the Beau reguard battle flag for the blue union with a field of solid white. Models of this flag were displayed but it was found that when dropping limp the white folds hid the starry cross on it's union of red and too closely resembled a flag of truee. Therefore it fell into disuse and is scarce lY remembered by the soldiers. One of these flags was hoisted over the custom house in Richmond and was ridiculed by the daily papers as the white flag
 The last national flag of the Confed- eracy was adopted March 4, 1S65 and was thus described in the bll "The width two-thirds of the length, with the union now used as a battle flag to be in width three-ffths of the width of the flag, and SC proportioned as to leave the length of the field on the side of the union twice .he width below it. to have a ground cf led and broad blue saltier thereon, bor- dered with white and emblazoned with mullets of five-pointed stars of white, corresponding in number to the states Of the Southern Confederacy; the field to be white except the extreme outer half, the opposite end from the union, which shall have a red bar perpendicularly ex- tending the width of the flag"
 Richmond, the capital, was evacuated by the Confederates and occupied by the union troops within a month after the act creating the last national flag, there fore, practically 1t did not come into use, and the only national flag the Confed- cracy generally remembered is the stars and bars adopted the first year of the war The square battle flag is the one that was most used and the dearest 70 the Confederate soldiers.

Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-20
COLONEL JIMHAM

~ OIL. JIMHAM LEWIS of blessed
momory. like Mrs. Glyn of Three
~ Weeks notoriety, has (presum-
ably by his silence) met his Waterloo
through attacking the ladies of Chi
cago, God bless them. That man of
his acknowledged acumen, knowing the
pedal and lingual strength of Chicago
women, should play Don Quixote in the
Windy City almost passes belief and
occasions unfeigneL sorrow for the
eclipsing of such a trueulent and elo-
quent voice and presence.
Recent events, however, show that
Col. Jimham has his revenge, for who
will now arise to defend Chicago
women, whom the meddling law says
shall not smoke tobacco (nor even
skunk cabbage) in public?
1t is possible Los Angeles may gain
by Chicago's loss, as Col. Jimham may
see the writing on the wall, Westward -
ETC., and flash his dazzling presence on
us again, here to raise his glittering
standard and beard the railroad Doug
lass in his hall. In view of the COM
mon sisterhood of women, however. the
Los Angeles contingent of the sister
hood might take a fall out of him that
would discount Chicago's best effort
The way of the transgressor Is truly
hard for Col. Jimham.
