 In Behalf of Guardsmen
 The air is full of dust caused by the active work of the committees preparing for the Census Jubilee. They are de manding the enthusiastic cooperation oi every person in Birmingham, and in this connection an urgent call to firms em- ploying members of the Alabama Ma tional Guard was issued yesterday as follows:
 ..The programme of the Census Jubilee and Confederate veterans reunion calls for a military parade and maneuvers Wednesday, November g. The executive committee urgently requests all firms and corporations employing members of the National Guard, to release such mem bers for that occasion. The local militia has experienced some difficulty on form CT occasions, in getting their full quota or account of some of their members being unable to get released from theii places of business. The jubilee is ar event of wide significance and the up building of Birmingham, and calls foi patriotism-if need be some self-sacr- flee.
 "It Is hoped that all employers will readily give their consent when requested by members of the National Guard, thus aiding in the movement to make the oc- casion a red letter day In the history oi Birmingham.
