HSpeaking of the Atlanta exposition, it is pleasant to chronicle that the books of Ala bama writers, originally donated for exhibit at Atlanta, have been pre- sented to the public library of Birming- ham by the committee having charge of this matter. The books were generously given by their authors. with the under standing that after they were exhibited in the Alabama building at Atlanta they would be presented to the public library of our city, which. by the way is another great and good thing for our community, for which we are indebted to Prof. J. H. Phillips public spirit and enterprise.
 These Alabama books will add to the value of our library, and the citizens of Birmingham will certainly appreciate the generosity of Alabama authors, who have contributed such valuable works for the use of the readers of our city.
