 He entertained about thirty officers of the regiment and of his and Colonel Me Councils staff yesterday afternoon at a dinner at the Hillman Hotel. The occa- sion was greatly enjoyed by those pres ent.
 MT Robert Jemison, for whom the camp has been named Camp Robert Jemison," entertained the officers and their lady friends last night with a box party at the Acquatic Theatre at East Lake. Ev- cry box in the theatre was filled with officers and ladies. even to the second tiers on both sides. The uniforms of the officers mixed with the handsome cos tunes of the ladies made an inspiring sight. Officers of the infantry, cavalry and artillery all were present.
 The guests of MT. Jemison numbered several hundred.
 After the theatre party all were taken for ride down the chutes. This was no less enjoyed than the performance at the theatre had been. A dance in the pavilion which followed continued until the late hours, special cars bringing the party to Birmingham. This was one of the features of the encampment and 1t Is probable none was enjoyed more. Light refreshments were served in the pavilion during the dance. In the center of each block of Ice cream was a small American flag.
 Tomorrow afternoon 1t is expected there will be another large crowd present. It being Sunday when few are at work and the fact that so many go to East Lake every Sunday afternoon makes 1t certain there will be an immense crowd.

 Mamie was no stranger In that Bright Home where pain and sickness, grief and sorrow are unknown, but was welcomed by many precious loved ones who are singing Gods praises there and walt ing and watching for the loved ones here.
 Gods purposes are often yelled in mys- tery Ere her feet had trod far life's pathway, through a future of love and happiness seemed before her. God called her to himself, to life all radiant with perfect love and joy and peace.
 The strong chords of tender love have been rudeiy broken and beautiful visions of happy future bright with promise have been dispelled.

"HUMAN HEARTS"
A Story That Teens With Interest
Throughout.

Human Hearts," the melodra-
matte success announced at Hol-
lands Opera House, Dec. II, ap-
peals to every class of play-goers.
1t deals with a story that teens
with heart interest from beginning
to end. Tom Logan, an honest
young blacksmith in the Arkansas
hills, falls in love with and marries
a reformed confidence woman. The
dull country life soon pals on her.
She accidentally meets her former
lover and opal. Without any just
cause they conspire together to ruin
Tom and kill him If necessary.
They go to his home. The woman
rings the bell while her accomplice
conceals himself, The father Of
Tom responds and is mistaken for
the young blacksmith. He is fatally
stabbed by the ambushed man.
Tom, coming out to see where his
father is, is accused by the adven-
turess and her opal" of the murder.
He is finally sentenced on that
charge. But his friends ultimately
establish his innocence and he S
released. Retribution overtakes his
villainous and murderous accusers.
No play of its kind possesses a
stronger plot or more sensational
incidents. The serious element is
mingled with comedy, forming a
that never fails to
touch a responsive chord in the
hearts of play-goers.
