 A young lady will again be in the man
 sion in the person of Miss Anne Kilbv. pthe charming daughter of Governor and
 Mrs. kilby. It has been some years
 since young lady has been in the man. sion, as when Governor ONeal was in
 office Miss Olivia ONeal, now beau
 tiful young woman, was then but a school girl and not old enough to take much

 afraid that before many months that she
 will be leaving the mansion, though no
 date has been set for her wedding. How
 ever, we are hoping that she will be here
 awhile anyway, for all Annistonians say that Miss kilby is girl of exceptional Fcharm, and that Montgomerians are most
 fortunate in having the opportunity Of Knowing Mrs. Kilby and her dauehter.
