IN MEMORY OF LITTLE NELSON
 MITCHELL.

On a bright July morning All our hearts were light and gay For unto our home an angel entered And brought to us little babe. He became our little treasure, He was the source of all our joy For our love he gave us pleasure He was a darling little boy. But alas. his life Is ended, His visit with us was so brief, He sickened with a raging fever. And Jesus came to his relief Just one short year he was with us One year to fill our home with joy, Then the Angel came again And carried away Our Little Boy. This cold eworld was too sinful For his tender little feet, And Jesus called him up to Iaeaven To walk with Him the Golden Streets His life was like summer rose That opens to the morning sky. But ere the shades of evening close Is scattered on the ground to die, He has gone from us forever, Gone where friends have gone before. Who are standing there together To welcome him to that brigh. shore. He has tottled OCT the waters, Ger Deaths dark and raging foam He has landed safe in harbor And found purer, brighter home. Though our home is full of sorrow And our hearts are filled with pain It would be, oh, so much sadder, Could we never meet again. But we must win a crown immortal And follow where he's led before. To the land of Gods forever, On that bright Celestial Shore.
 
 By his brother.
 Waiter Mitchell.

Lord. in this dust Thy sovereign voice First quicken'd love divine; I am all Thine-Thy care. and choice. My very praise IS. Thine. I praise Thee. while Thy providence In childhood frail Trace, For blessings given. ere dawning sense Could seek or scan Thy grace; Blessings in boyhood's marvelIing hour, Bright dreams and fancyings strange; Blessings, when reasons awful power Gave thought bolder range; Blessings of friends, which to my door Unaskd, unhop'd, have come; And choicer still, a countless store Of eager smiles at home. Yet. Lord. in memorys fondest place I shrine those seasons sad, When. looking up l saw Thy face. In kind austereness clad. would not miss one sigh or tear Heart-pang or throbbing brow; Sweet was the chastisement severe, And sweet its memory now. Yesl let the fragrant scars abide,
 Love tokens in Thy stead, Faint shadows of the spear-pierced side And thorn-encompassed head. And such. Thy tender force be still. When self would swerve or stray, Shaping to truth the forward will Along Thy narrow way. Deny me wealth; far, far remove The lure of power or name; Hope thrives in straits, in weakness love. And faith in this worlds shame.

 The money was subscribed at .he late State Baptist Convention recently he'd at Troy, to furnish each room, as well as the dining room and Kitchen. The dor
 mitory building has been named Renfro Hall, in honor of the late pr. J. D. Rem
 fro. who was for long time pastor of the Southslde Baptist Church, and lead CT Tn the Baptist denomination in the

 It was Necessity.
 l The building of this dormitory was a
 necessity. as the college was unable to accommodate the young men who ap-
 accepting the presidency, realized this condition, and began at once the work of
 raising the money to build the dormitory winch was so much needed. It is graufy Ing to his friends and to the college nu- thorities to see the success which has crowned his efforts. Friends of ths col- lcge are indeb.ed to the loyal citizens of
 Birmingham and Jefferson County for thls girt. which means so much to How ard College. It wii. enable the college to accommodate a larger number of stu dents than at any time in it's past history. It Is certainly wise investment for Jefferson County, and will attract many young men here to pursue their studies The close proximity of the college to a great industrial city like Birmingham IS a wonderful attraction. Advantages of- fered are superior.
 Among other substantial Improvements
 made besides the erection of a costly new
 dormitory, may be mentioned the build- ing of handsome brown stone wall all
 around the grounds. The chapel has also been greatly beautified by the lad.es of
 the Birmingham district. The college off, fee will be magnifcently furnished. as a Icontribution from Dr. Sherman, the first
 President of Howard College, who Is now a retired capitalist of Chicago. It is in- timated that he might do. handsomer

 Speaking of the almost complete disap- pearance of the colored waiter in this city. Ferdinand. the head waiter at the Hotel Majestic. said;
 ''Yes, it is a fact that the colored man is now seen in few hotel dining rooms. You still find him in BostcN Washing ton and cities of the South and West. but in this city he is a thing of the past. It was long considered in this country that the only proper servant was a colored servant. He regarded himself as beneath the white man. and was willing to be servant.

College is an attractive school to the boy and his parents are:
 Persona, attention of the professors. This follows the student through his days and nights at college.
 Religious Culture.-Students are requir- ed to attend the church of their choice every Sunday morning, as well as Sab bath school.
 Special care of young boys. These are surrounded by the best influences and surroundings.
 Among the attractions for improving The body as well as the mind are a we'll equipped gymnasium, with hot and cold baths, two literary societies. good libra ry a laboratory and museum.
 Personal attention. Each student is carefully watched in his studies and feels the kindly influence of personal instruc- ton.
 Ideal Location.
 The location of Howard College is ideal because of its proximity to a large city and the students enjoy many advantages without the disadvantages of city life The life and energy characteristic of this section are apt to awaken a corresponding spirit in the young men who attend this institution of learning. This. taken in connection with the public lectures and libraries of Birmingham. Is not without vast benefit to the young men seeking development, while the firm but kind dis cipline serves to restrain students from any evil influences of the city. It has been frequently remarked in Birmingham that no student of Howard College Is ever seen in a barroom.
 Ready transportation between the city and the college is afforded by an electric line on which cars run each way at in- tervals of twelve minutes. The distance is six miles and the fare 5 cents. Regular day students get a half rate.
 The authorities of the college are largely snided in the administration of moral discipline by the favorable surroundings Of theN institution.
 Reiigibus worship is regularly held every Sabbath In the Baptist. Presbyterian and Methottist churches. which are located within few hundred yards of the col iege buildings. By special statute the sale of ardent spirits is prohibited within a radius of three miles.
