 In the year 1893 he accepted a call to Murfreesboro, Tenn, where he re- mained for eight years. Here he was enabled to see most gratifying results from his efforts, and to win to a flat tering degree the respect and affection of the whole community. The church was greatly strengthened during his pastorate and developed along many lines. A revival of religion marked the last days of his stay in Murfreesboro, some sixteen persons having been re- ceived into the membership within the week preceding his departure.
 On the occasion of the last service held the church was packed to it's ut most with scores turned away, unable to gain access.
 Dr. Patterson has been closely iden- tified with the general interests and work of the Presbyterian Church, hay ing been. connected with the Home Mission Committees of the two Pres byteries to which he has belonged and having been a member of the As sembly's Executive Committee of For eign Missions for the last seven years.

The Rev. G. W. Patterson, D. D., pastor-elect of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, who will preach his first sermon to his congregation today, was born in Decatur County, Indiana, November g. 1862. When he was Il years old his father took up his residence in Louisiana, and his boy hood and youth were passed in that State. His collegiate studies were prosecuted in the Louisiana State Uni versity, and in the Southwestern Pres byterian University. at Clarksville, Tenn. He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts at the latter institu- tion in June, 1887. He finished his theological preparation at Clarksville in 1889, and in June, 1900, the directors of the University conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.
 Dr. Patterson was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Louisiana, and engaged in home mission work for time, under its direction, having charge of the work at Lake Charles, La, for one summer. His first pastopate was at Crystal Springs, Miss. where he was ordained by the Presbytery of Mississippi, and whence he was called to the pastorate of the church at Nat

 It aees not justify disregard of the sacr18 obligations (born of Sratitude. if nd more) due to the self-sacrihcing women who have slaved without com plaint to maintain the Inflrmary.
 It does not dissolve the inalienable right of the city's sick poor to be cared for free from the slightest influence inconsistent with their own religious inclinations.
 It does not deny that municipal aid will be accepted after the hospital is open for patients.

and undeveIoped boyhood to success full manhood is, under all circum- stances, an unceasing struggle. It sometimes assumes the character of a terrific contest interwoven with events worthy of place on the pages of any history. The working out the problem of life, the what man will be, should be watched by all with intense interest and by none with more concern than by him who solves the intricate enigma. Few appreciate the height to which he has attained who can say truth fully, II am a success" 'men trust me for my industry, integrity, truth fitness and attention to business, Il can make a living by honest labor"
 J. T. Chambliss came into this world January 9th, 1872, in Wilcox County, Ala. He spent some of his boyhood at Highland Home School, and early in the sos. having chosen railroading for livelihood, began the arduous battle of life and the struggle up the grade to promotion. A nine years worry on the Plant System and the l.. and N. brought it's full fruition. He had not enjoyed the coveted place as conductor on the l.. and N. long, before disease began slowly to tear down and disf1gure his fine earthly tabernacle and mar all the bright hopes of the future, spoil the dream pictures upon which his soul feasted with delight. After several months travel to various sections of the country seeking health. he returned to the home of his father in this city. Soon after his return he was married to the lady of his choice-Miss Louise Dansby of Woodlawn, Ala, who re- mained faithfully at his side until death came.
 In what do desolation and destruction manifest themselves more hideously than when robust. vigorous, stalwart manhood is enfeebled, paled, shrunken, emaciated by corroding. consuming dis ease? Little is left by the foul mon- ster except the rich sparkle of the eye, and the soul that now makes ready to vacate the tottering habitation.

He was the only son of MT. J. G. Chambliss.

Our City is Musical.

Montgomery can congratulate herself that music has received more appre- citation in the last year than ever be- fore. People who do not own pianos are constantly providing their homes with this essential appointment. The coming week will afford opportunities that have not come before to those who have felt unable to buy a piano or an organ, on account of the largest music store in the city being enormously over stocked for the summer season. Those who do not own pianos should go down town at least once just to learn some- thing that will not cost cent and may be worth fifty or hundred dollars in- side of a few months time.
