HOWARD COLLEGE.
East Lake, Ala.

East Lake, Ala. TT HE Fall term of this old and honored institution begins September 22 The \ school will be conducted upon strict business principles.
 Mountain spring water supplies the Cam pus and the location is one of heathfulness and moral security.

The society of the place is cultured and religious The students of HOWARD COL LEGE are free from the temptations to i'm morality which prevail in larger towns; also from the distractions of a commercial community and the unwholesome social ex- elements of such places. It is six miles from Birmingham, and students will be al- lowed to go that city once week-from 8 to 12 o'clock on Saturday: also to visit the large industries from time to time with an officer of the College.
 Furnished room fuel, board, tuition, med ical fee and laundry for room, $94 per term. or $1SS per year.

Sums Cotton Review.

New York; Sept. 1O.-The Suns cotton re- view says. Cotton advanced to s points lost this, but later rallied and advanced, closing steady at a net improvement of 15 to IS points, with sales of 31S 100 bales.
 Today's features: That the bureau report today would be bullish document no one for moment doubted, but that it would show decline in the condition of the eroW- ,ing crop of 15 per cent in month not even the most radical bulls had hoped for. Yet the report gave the condition at 6f.2 per cent against SOL on August l, and 70.S on Sep tember l, 1895 The condition is the lowest at this period of the season in twenty-seven years. The result was a sharp advance in prices. Liverpool rallied after opening low CT; New Orleans advanced; unfavorable private advices were received; Wall street the south, Liverpool and the continent bought while shorts were running to get under cover. Many operators took profits on the advance, as was only natural, and the fluctuations in prices were sharp and frequent. The only effect of the heavy real izing was to deprsss prices for time, for on every recession new buyers came to the front and 'boosted' prices up again.

average to the seemingly fabulous
figure of 1862, not all of the members Of
the team have shared in the rise. The
ex-champion, Billy George, has made
but one safe hit in the last "a innings
and has now dropped point below
that dashing juvenile Of the diamond,
the ever hale and hearty Glasscock.

for the batting leadership of the st.
