midnight last night until 2 o'clock this morning Montgomery will be. nomin- ally, without a Mayor. Recorder Ei- more. the newest city official, will perform his first duty in administer Ing the oath. aa #
 The Council was smaller than. 1t has been for years. when Alderman Saul called 1t to order for the first time last night. There were only fifteen members. as the new code has elim- hated the two aldermen -at-large. cut- ting down the old number of seventeen aldermen. During the last term there were three aldermen-at-large, Gaston Gunter, Berto H. Johnson and Ira H. Virgin. Gunter becomes Mayor. Vir- gin was elected president of the coun- cii. while Johnson becomes plain MT Johnson once more-with the proba- bility of election to the office of back tax commissioner when it is created Besides .Mr. Johnson, two other al dermen are out, both representatives of the Second Ward. c. L. Ruth. and H. H. ETinds. John Burch and J. T. Letcher succeed them.
 The fifteen aldermen received their ornate certificates of office, after they had sworn their oaths of duty to the city and It's people and It's laws, at the guidance of Recorder Baber. There was little expression of es- teem and camaraderie before the ad- journment of the old Council, Alder man Berto Johnston stating his fare we'll fin a well-rounded speech. and Alderman Parrish giving to the retir- ing president. Gaston Gunter, the best wishes of the Council in his new ca pacity. Mir. Gunter replied in a speech that tnld of the intent to he fair and just that had always governed him.
 Mayor Gunter will announce his ap- pointments today. They will be re- to the Council at It's meet ing Wednesday night. There will be few changes from the roster of the last administration, 1t is believed.
 A number of city officers are ap- pointed by the Mayor, including the assistant city clerk and treasurer. li- oense inspector, mayors clerk superin- tendent of streets, superintendent of

water works. market clerk, city engi- neer. chief of fire department, city electrician. sanitary inspector, chief clerk of the sanitary department. three meat and milk inspectors. and inspec- tor of plumbing.
 Those who held these ofiices during the administration just past will prob ably continue in the service of the city under Mayor Gunter's appointment, though 1t is known that there will be a new clerk to the sanitary department, a new mayors clerk, who will be Cliff ford Lanier, probably q new superin- tendent of streets. and there is little doubt but that the appointment of J. K. Browder as Are chief will be fought bitterly.
 The officials. named by technical bod ies already. began their terms of of- flee last night with the end of the old administrations. Theywere Dr. R. l.. Milligan, who was elected city. physi- elan by the county Board of Health to succeed Dr. Castor Grief. and c. L. Floyd. who was reelected superinten- dent of schools by the School Board
 The two new city officers elected last night. J. J. Sullivan as city sexton and Ludlow Fillmore as recorder. need no introduction to the public. Alder man Sullivan has been associated with the political life of the city for years. and prominently, of late. as alderman.
 Mir. Fillmore. is probably the youngest of recorders that ever held down the bench. He is @ young lawyer. and q graduate of the University of Alabama
 Recorder Baber. who was defeated last night. has held down the job for several terms. and at first looked good for reelection. on the score of ability and popularity. but a political lineup brought about his defeat

 Resfored- M

A single attack of the grip may meap . lifetime of misery ifproper precautione are not taken to restore the blood and drive out the lingering poisons tha1 cause the so called 'after-effects" of the disease.
 The danger from the grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptome, the fever, the catarrh, the headache anc the depression. of spirits pass away The grip leaves behind it weakened vita powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves--a condition that makes the system an easy prey ft. pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner. vous prostration, and even consumpkion. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blooc and nerves during convalescenco.
 Mrs. W. H. Parker, of No 6 We6f Union street. Newark, N. Y., tells Oi her cure by this treatment, as followss
 "I was sick for two years following an attack of the grip and could get httle relief from the doctors troatment. ] had bad cough for over year and everyone thought I was going into con sumption. was extremely nervous aI1c had trembling spells which affected m 90 that I couldn't at still. During fhh year had to lie down most of the time
 My heart palpitated and my heet ached frequently. I lost . great dead ir weight, had no ambition and was no' able to do much work. had no appe tite at all and my stomach was weak.
 Il was led to try Dr. Williams Pini Pills by reading of cure of . case simi lar TO mine and felt some benefit in short time. The trembling spells iefi me and picked up right along until ] was cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have aIst cured such blood diseases as anenlis after-effects of the grip and fevers. Owing to the intimate relatip, between the blood and nerves, the pilh have been found invaluable in such ner yous diseases as dizziness, nervous dc bility, neuralgia and St. Vitus' dance.

BOSTON FIRM TAKES BONDS

It is probable that for the time be- ing. at least. the Lawrence Street paw ing muddle has reached a solution. The Council at the meeting last night adopted a resolution authorizing new Issue of s5o,oo0 in bonds to cover the expense of paving Lawrence and other streets which were to be paved by money to be derived from the recently snnulied bond issue in the same amount.
 The bonds authorized will be taken by Hunt and cushman, the Boston firm that was to have taken the first Issue The terms of Hunt and Cushman's bid are to take the bonds at 100 and ace crued interest. The bonds to pay s per cent. interest and to mature ten years after date of issue. The city will have the option Of paying the bonds off at any interest period in sums not to exceed sb,000 at any one time. The purchase price to the city will be i0f t-4.
 Tn connection with the authorization of the bond issue. it was stated that Che contractors awould begin work at once if they were assured that the city would later award them the contract for the work,
 The resolution of the Council award ing the contracts were returned to the Council bearing the Mayors veto, to- gether with communication from the Mayor that the resolution was vetoed because the plan offered whereby the money for the work was to be secured did not meet with his approval
 The measures adopted by the Council last night. 1t is said will save the city several hundred dollars over the plan which Mayor Teague did not approve.
 The new city wharf came up for the attention of the Council and bids for the contract for It's construction were opened. No awards were made and the matter of accepting the bids was pass ed over to a later meeting.
 resolution was adopted providine for the paving of sidewalks on Jeff Davis Avenue between Cleveland Ave- nue and Holt Street.
 Another resolution adopted appropri- ated s35,000 to maintain the public schools from September 25 to Decem- Der 3l. This resolution was passed at the request of the school board which In making the request stated that the funds were necessary for the mainten- ance of the schools and to pay teach CTS salaries.

While the mother of 9-year-old Mi

the police searching for her lost boy

as she went to the norgues and hos

been arrested with several other youths
for throwing stones through the Win

When the boy did not return home q

became alarmed and reported his dis
appearance to the police who at once
instituted search for him. When
several days had passed without any
word from her boy, the mother was
greatly alarmed.
Meanwhile the lad had been caught
with three other boys and charged
with malicious mischief. When he was
placed in a cell he was fearful of let
