I 6TRys Dub, dS 1 bdIu, bl6T6 dE6 ClLiSo1 anu, would you believe It, southern cities, only i a few hours from Birmingham, where | women have money sufficient to endow l churches. Of course, in these towns there are hospitals, mercy homes and even high t schools. Ia one of these towns-Mobile-a | will is being protested, because the testa- | tor, Mrs. Barnewall, who recently died, | gives at the death of her husband, who is l quite elderly, her family home, the mag nifcent Emanuel place, to Christ's church, Mobile, and also oequeathes the family silver to the same church, desiring it to be made into communion service, aud cer- tain parts of the service to be studded with her diamonds As a natural consequence some near relatives, who have not any sur. plus silver or jewels, are protesting against such disposition of family belongings. And, doubt not, every normal man and woman hopes the will shall be broken and the relatives shall receive their dues.

 Thursday, August 80,
 German, 8:30 O'clock. The ladies of the First Methodist church are already beginning to prepare for their bazaar, which is to become an annual thing. The one held last winter was a marvellous success, and the o ne in contem- pation will probably even exceed that if possible. The bazaar will open some time during Decem Der.
 The Hospital of United Charities will still be kept open by the board of mana gers, and every one hopes and believes our mayor and aldermen will reco nsider and still continue to assist these noble women in their efforts to relieve our suffering poor. The hearts of our people are with the hos pltal and it's managers, and something will be done to meet this emergency. If it should not be done it will be the first fail- ure that can be charged to the women of Birmingham. But there will not be fail- ursl Between the city administration and our good townspeople some arrangement can and will be effected, am sure. Mayor Fox has always been a strong friend to the hospital, and no doubt some scheme can be devised by him to tide over this serious condition of things.

 Speaking of retrenchment, which Is nn- oubtedly the question of the hour to Birmingham, l was much impressed by an observation on Sunday afternoon, which gives emphasis to a theory hold, and that is, that constant abreviations, constant cutting away of everything, but bare necessities only constantly 1essens the value of property and institutions. l rode oqt to East Lake Sunday afternoon, and everything had a n old time look of cheer- fulness and almost prosperity. The cum- mics were filled with passengers and the grounds at the lake were bright with hum dreds of happy people. The lake was dotted with many boats, contain ing merry rowers, the flowers were blooming profusely in well kept beds.
