 | Miss Camilla Herndon, a young lady of | great charm of manner and of the highest | musical attachments, is now visiting rela- | tives in Birmingham. She possesses very | remarkable musical gifts, which have been
 most thoroughly cultivated, and she will | prove delightful acquisition to our social | life. It is rumored, and with reason, that | Miss Herndou will preside at the organ | and direct the choir in one of our leading churches.
 "The Brownies in Fairyland" will be presented in Birmingham this fall under | the auspices of the ladies of the Southside Baptist church. Those who have laughed | over Palmer Cox's grotesque delineations | of these interesting little people in his
 books will recognize genuine treat n
 store for the fun-loving in the tableaux | vivants as set forth in this attractive oper- | etta. The play has been given with great success in New York, Brooklyn and else-
 where during the past season. Such pretty incident came to my ears a l few days ago-an incident so full of kindly | appreciation l cannot refrain from telling | it. Mrs. E. D. Bacon, so well and favora. ply known among us, sings in the choir of | the Southside Baptist church, but her du- | ties pertain chiefly to the Sunday services i; | yet, during the late revival at that church, | she led the gospel hymns for two weeks
 every night. But this she did without | hope of reward, only desiring to do her l Christian duty. But one Saturday even. | ing, after the meetings closed, 8 large | package came to her home, accompanied l by note, asking her to accept from the pas l tor and church board the beautiful steel en- graving, which was in the package, as an | evidence of their appreciation of her kindly services. The engraving was very hand | somely framed in white and gold, and was | a very lovely Erssent. The subject of the engraving was "Old Tunes." The Othmar club was delightfully."- enter tained Friday evening by Miss Louise | Chisolm at the residence of her father, Col. Robert Chisolm. The cotillon was lead by
 Master Robert Johnston in a most charm ing manner.
 arrived in Birmingham last Tuesday to at tend the marriage of her cousin, Miss Mo Guire.
 MT. Claude Evan McMartin also came to the city on Wennesday to be preSeu at the marriage of his kinswoman, Miss Me- 7Guire. MT. McMartin is an attorney, whose practice is perhaps the most exten- ssiye in the northwest. His headquarters ate at St. Louis, Mo.
 ad Rev. Dr. George F. Stainback and family
 are now visiting relatives in Columbus, | Miss, where he is enjoying a well earn ed | taoation. Dr., AStainback is pastor of the | Cumberland Presbyterian church of Birm- l iiIgham, and while he has only been with shsa comparatively short time, he has ac- lscomplshcd great work among his people. Under his eloquent preaching his copgre- | gallons have steadily grown, and his mem- l bers are active in every good work. Dr. l Stain back is man of broad education and cultivation. He was bora and reared in l Memphis, Tenn, educated at the Univer-
