neb eoio. DO au evening or great enjoyment | is assured to all who attend. There will l of course, be light refreshments served dur l ing the evening. The charge for all these l good things is so small, and the cause for which the entertainment is given is so 1 good, a large number should certainly be l present. Unfortunately a premature an- | nouncement of this musicale was made 8 l few days ago, and Mrs. Woodson deeply l regretted the mistake, but the time is now 1 positively settled upon, and every tbing | will be in readiness for next Monday even- ing, the sth of October.
 The Literary circle meets tomorrow, Fri l day afternoon, at o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. William Hardie. All members are
 urged to be present promptly.
 | have just received valuable pamphlet from Prof. B. F. Meek, professor of the | English language and literature in the | University of Alabama, and desire toire- turn sincere thanks for the remembrance. This pamphlet is of great value to all convenient for ready reference bylall who desire to adopt the best form of English, as there is no higher authority in such mat ters than Prof. B. F. Meek. He lays down this axiom, aud it is eminently correct: 'Good usage Is the supreme court of language.' No man in Alabama has done more for the cultivation and education of
 our people than Prof. B. F. Meek, and all
 the students whom he has instructed re-
 gard him as indisputable authority upon
 English literature, and the studies of
 matnrer years but increase their faith iu
 his ability and his thoroughness.
 
 The tender sympathy of Prof. J. 0. Du-
 Bose's many, many friends is extended to
 himland his little children in this hour of
 their terrible bereavement. Mrs. DaBose,

 Christian, died after 8 brief illness Tuesday

 comfort the desolate lives of the devoted
 husband and children.

 Miss Julietts Downs, who is steadily ad.
 vancng in her chasen profession, and who
 has made the finest impression wherever
 she has played, was former schoolmate of
 Miss Lucille Smith and Miss Hattie Hewitt
 when they were students at Miss Nold's
 school in Louisville, Ky. These former her during her stay here on Tuesday and found it very charming to renew the old ties of friendship and interest. The part Miss Downs played on Tuesday night was an insignificant one, and not calculated to display her positive talents, but that was due to the fact that the leading women of MT. Keene's company alternate, and it happened that Tuesday evening wBs an "off uight' for Miss Downs. In Mont gomery and Atlanta she had good parte, and acquitted herself with great credit. Miss Downs is generally accompanied by
 her mother in her travels She is a girl not only of talent and cultivation, but of character and ambition.
 Quite an enthusiastic meeting of the ladies' auxiliary of the Young Mems Christian association was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in the Young Mems Christian association parlors. There was special business transacted and off, cers elected for the ensuing year. Mrs. T. Fl. Motion was unanimously reelected president; Mrs. Joseph McLester, vice. president; Mrs. F. D. Squires, treasurer; Mrs. Zac F. Smith, secretary.
 A full report of last year's work was read,
 with the treasurer's report of $l42. 20 in- come and disbursements. Dishes have been purchased by the ladies for their greater convenience in giving monthly receptions. Over $40 has been paid on the carpet and the ladies assumed the debt on the piano,
 and have almost paid the remaining in- debtedness. Five entertainments have been given through the year.
 Quite happy and profitable source of income has been the ladies' and girls gymnasium class, which netted tho anu.
 Hilary $81.7 since its inauguration. This class will be re-opened in few days under the leadership of Professor Miles, az d it is hoped that a large class will be formed. The exact date of opening will be made known.
 The hour of meeting of the ladies' auxil- iary was changed from morning to 3:30 p. m. of the first Wednesday of each month. The ladies of the Highland Presbyterian 1 church are about to inaugurate a scheme that promises success to them. They pro- l pose to serve light lunch daily, except l Sundays, for an indefinite time at the l Kenney Coffee and Tea house, on Twentieth | street, for which small sum will be | charged. This will prove positive con- l venience to many business men, who have
 not time to go home for midday meal. l The ladies will have everything temptingly l and generously served. They will not at. 1 tempt to compete with other lunch stands l in prices, but they hope and expect abun- dant results from the experiment.. Every l day, save Sundays, cup of coffee l and sandwich can be had at the ladies' l lunch counter for 10 cents, or for the same l price glass of milk and 8 piece of pie. | These ladies deserve patronage, for they
 are now making an effort to pay for the pews of their church. The hours of the
 lunch will be from Il until 2.
