Martha YouBg May
 Give Authors Req ding.

There Is a prospect that Birmingham will have an opportunity of hearing Miss Martha Young of Greensboro, the well known author. in reading in the near future
 pr. J. H. Phillips and Miss Young are now In correspondence in regard to the details of the literary entertainment which will be given for the benefit of the library if arrangements can be made at present.
 An authors reading would certainly be suitable for such a purpose and of the popular southern writers none is more entitled to or has won a more secure place in the literary world than Miss Young, whose work has permanent value in the eyes of the student
 Miss Young has only recently under taken what many authors before her have found to be delightful and made their audiences their debtors-the public readings from her own books. She has given a successful evening in Greensboro and tomorrow evening she will give a reading in Tuscaloosa for the benefit of the Daughters of the Confederaey.
 Should Miss Young visit Birmingham she will be greeted by large audience, including the many readers of her books, and indeed every student of folk lore will want to hear the young author.
 Her new book is one of the successes of the year, and among the reviews is notable one by MT. Charles De Kay, the well knawn authority on folklore, In the New York Times MT. De Kay donates two columns to Miss Young's Legends. The following extract Is from his review:
 The stories of the birds told by the little hyde swamp, are related in the true dia- lect of the southern darky and have the abrupt turns and unexpected flashes ot shrewdness that make the utterances of Uncle Remus so delightful. Only south erners can realize how true to the orig inals Miss Young has kept, but every one can appreciate the solid foundation of folklore on which the stories rest How much is African in these endeavors of the primitive mind to explain the calls and songs. the coloring and habits of different birds, through quaint tales in which each actor is moved by human passions, and how much Is Indian in origin would be hard to distinguish. because the method is common to most nations found in a primitive state. and even among the white races very similar forms of fiction can be detected in nursery tales and folklore.
