population of Alabama, and he Is entitled
to the high praise which has been accord
ed him from high sources. The cause he
represents should appeal to all persons who
have money to donate to charitable pur-
poses, and the best men amongst us leave
to doubt that he is worthy of confidence.
Most assuredly such a home as he repre-
sents is a great need to the colored popu-
lation and therefore a need of eiviiiza-
ton.
Some of the private schools will be re-
opened today for the coming scholastic
year, amongst them being the Pollock
Stephens Institute and the Birmingham
Seminary, each for the education of girls;
and school girls who are to be sent away
from the city are beginning their jour-
neys. Thus the most picturesque and the
most attractive element in Birmingham's
social life shall be observed no more until
summer comes again. The girls go back
to their studies after a long vacation that
was not rest; 1t was merely change from
the schoolrooms to places of merriment
What the society editor terms 1.-The
younger element of society,"" meaning girls
and boys well in their teens, is not mis-
homer in Birmingham; for they have con-
stituted active society for three months,
and their doings have brightly filled good
ly space an The Age-Herald, and even
the first of American metropolitan news
papers chronicling their movements from
time to time. Their delights editors have
been dengn,ed to set forth to world that
was pleased; and if the heads of the happy
tcf ri 40 tIiTn ad
there is proof that they shall come to be
all their young years promise-very sensi-
BILE, as well as very beautiful, women.
Birmingham of all towns has wealth of
bright and pretty girls, and Birmingham
esteems them her most precious jewels;
something seemingly too bright and good
for natures daily food. Without such as
they life wouldn't be worth the living to
any of us children of larger growth" and
SO all that concerns them concerns like
wise all those amongst whom they dwell
and whose lives they brighten.
Tonight the younger element of So
ciety' will have Its last dance of the sum-
NOR, which goes as the schoolrooms open,
and one can well imagine that joy will
reign beautifully over the hours that will
speed all too swiftly. We all of us cry,
Joy to the school girls!
Frank E. Nabers has gone to the Uni
versity of Virginia to prepare himself for
practicing medicine, and the old-timers
OF Jefferson and everybody else will wish
him we'll in his studies. From his early
boyhood, and for period of eighteen years,
he has been in the service of the drug
during that time he has demonstrated high
business qualities and succeeded in winning
the confidence and good will of the prin-
cipal business men of Birmingham. DR..
George M. Morrow yesterday spoke of the
firms regret at the young mans depart
ure, and cordially praised his merits
George M. Morrow, Jr., remarkably
bright young man, has also gone to the
University of Virginia to study medicine.
Thus there will be a young DR.. Nabers
and a young DR.. Morrow, and If they be
worthy of their fathers and the old-timers
OF their races in Jefferson, then shall they
be most worthy!

other home of the illustrious Senator.
