WE DO IT RIGHT
 EMPIRE LAUNDRY
FIVE CONFIRMANTS
 AT TEMPLE EMANUEL
Beautiful and Impressive Ceremonies WitA messed by Large Congregstion-Con-
 ducted by Rabbi Newfield.

The confirmation services at Temple Emanuel yesterday morning were largely attended, the temple being crowded with the relatives and friends of the confirmants and members of the congregation. The ceremonies, which were very inters esting and impressive, commemorate the restoration of the giving of the decalogue on Mount Sinai and the re-dedcation of the mission of Isreal.
 The services were conducted by Rabbi Newfield in his usual impressive manner, and his eloquent and thoughtful words found an earnest response in the five con- firmants who embraced the articles of faith of the Jewish religion, thereby accepting the responsibilities of life which until that time had been vested in their parents After the regular ritual service the cone firmants, Misses Fannie Spiro and Jennie Williams and Masters Sam Phillips. Charles Hochstader and Raymond Klotz, entered the temple and occupied seats near the altar, which was beautifully decorated with flowers and plants.
 The opening prayer was feelingly offered by Miss Fannie Spiro, and was followed after a musical selection by the flower offering by Miss Jennie Williams.
 The "Torah," or Holy Law" was taken from the Ark by Sam Phillips and lesson in Hebrew read by Charles Hochstader.
 Next followed the examination of the class in the prescribed teachings.
 "The confession of faith was delivered by Raymond Klotz on behalf of his class mates.
 Rabbi Newfield then addressed the con- firmants, his sermon being based on the lessons and responsibilities of the day.
 After the blessing of the confirmants the closing prayer was offered by Sam Phil- lips.
 A special musical programme was rem dered by the choir, augmented by Call mans string quartette.

 Writes Age-Herald

The movement to build home for dis abled Confederate soldiers at Columbiana, Shelby county, mention of which was made several days ago in The Age-Herald, is assuming definite shape and the work of raising the money will begin at once. A. P. Longshore, probate judge of Shelby county, has consented to act treasurer for the fund, and will receipt for any sub scriptions forwarded to him.
 B. w. Brand, of Columbana, one of the leading spirits in the movement, writes fully of the home and the efforts that are being made to build it. In letter to The Age-Herald, he says:
 For more than thirty-fve years the in digent and disabled Confederate soldiers of Alabama have heroically battled against want. Those patriots answered their coun- try's call in 1861, and for four long years shielded southern homes from a relentless foe by standing in line of battle, amid showers of shot and shell, blood and car mage, until overpowered by numerical strength and forced to surrender. They came home to find their property destroyed Uncomplainngly they went to work as best they could to restore their homes and bring dDOul d DGlltT cOIulllOH Ol lHlUSS.
 "'Now there is a movement on foot to build a home at Coumbiana, Ala for Confederate veterans who are disabled from work by reason of wounds received in battle. otherwise, while in the Con federate service. Or from disase contract ed while in such service. Or from age. This home will be bought and built by pop ular subscription, and will be ready for oc- cupancy in about twelve months. No such word as fail will be tolerated in this un- dertalxing. Active, energetic committees will be organized in each county in the state to solicit subscriptions for the fund. The press of the state will do its full duty in this matter. have assurance that the railroads will deliver material for building purposes practically free of charge Colum- biana is as healthy spot as there is in Ala bama. It is blessed with a good school ten months in each year. The Baptist, Metho- dist and Presbyterans all have churches here. The town has waterworks which supplies pure mountain spring water. No better society exists on the earth than is in and around Columbiana. There is now go- ing up cotton factory which will give employment to hundreds of hands. The home will be located inside the city limits. Let every patriotic man, woman and child in Alabama whom God is His mercy has blessed with plenty donate something to this work of love and make it possible for the last days of our Confederate brave be their most peaceful. A. P. Longshore, probate judge of Shelby county, has kindly consented to act as treasurer without re- ward and our local press and our people generally have promised the most enthus- iastic support.
 Any communication addressed to me will be cheerfully answered. and any sug- gestions offered will receive special atten- tion. Respectfully,
 "B. ". BRAND"

It was valued at about S7e0 or BSO0 The uncompleted houses were rlere- ly frames and perhaps were worth $500 or $l,0OO. The name of the owner of the houses could not be learned.
