objects of interest TO the boys of the
neighborhood. who denuded them little
by little. Their condition came TO be con-
sidered dangerous, and on Saturday last
Justice Crutchfield ordered them to be
removed.

issued was noised abroad, and people
gathered I'm force on Saturday afternoon
and began to tear the houses down.. car

on the scene with Mr.. John Gordon,

Miss CrOzier, the Wel.-AnOwl
 Lecturer. to Visit Birmingham

Miss L. Graham-Crozier, formerly of Knoxville, but now of Cincinnati, will visit Birmingham during September, when she will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Crozier- French. Miss Crozer viii go from Bii- mingham to Atlanta, where she will give a course of lectures. II is probable that she will reach the city early next week. During her brief visit here Mrs. French will receive informally al number of the lit erary women of the city in honor of Miss Crozier, who, it is hoped, the occasion will speak upon some of the interesting questions upon which she is a recognized authority. Miss Crozier taught for num- Der of years In Knoxville, and there began her work of featuring to clubs and classes It was not long before the lecture field was broadened, and of recent years she has devoted much of her time to this work Miss CroZier has addressed many of the leading clubs of the country, and is one Of tine most magnetic speakers. She is woman of the broadest culture, and a most Fascinating personality. Her vacations are usually spent at the universities either in this country or abroad She has spent fre- quent summers at the University of Chi cago, and the following from the pen of Albion w. Small of the university describes the interesting personality and brilliant qualities of that charming southern woman. He writes
 When Miss Crozier has been at the University of Chicago she has been bent | on getting as much out of the lectures as | possible, and has only indirectly revealed herself. She is evidently, however a woman of very unusual personal force, of remarkable critical insight of fearless originality, and of constructive temper It would be difficult to find these qualities combined in more liberal proportions any where. My acquaintance with her, as l come to think It over, consists very largely in doing my best to answer most adroitiy directed questions. They displayed the in- cisiveness of her mind and at the same time usually put on the track of con- alterations that l had thought of little, il at all. before This is to me evidence enough that Miss Crozior is no ordinary Woman."
