There never has been time when
men of wealth who have made their
money in the cities are investing so
largely in farms, some doing it to graf
ify a fad, some as an invess sment. 1t
matters little what the motive; the fact
that they are doing it, and doing it in
a very thorough and progressive manner
which they are, is working almost a
revolutioR in farm methods in many To-
calities, their good example being con-
tagious Exchange.

HALF-CENTURY OF PROGRESS. Opportunities and Advantages for the Higher Education of Young Women
 Offered by Christian Colleae.

Fifty-four years ago Christian college. Columbia, Missouri, first opened it's doors. Since then this college has grown re- markedly. The territory over which this school has made itself felt has increased enormously. The student-body is cos mopolitan. pupils from over half the state, as well as Europe. being represented.
 There are many good reasons why this school IS such a successful one. Its large corps of able instructors are of the best American and European training: it's management is of that progressive kind so distinctive of the great and growing west; the buildings are modern, lighted by electricity, with hot and cold baths, and located in the midst of a beautiful park of eighteen acres, where the spirit of study, progress and of social and re- ligious culture is truly developed.
 Christian college is worthy of investi- gation by parents who are anxious for the practical education of their daughters. The fifty-fourth year will open In Sep tember, and full information. together with catalogue, can be obtained by ad- dressing the secretary, Christian College, Columbia, Missouri.

MRS. wrDER,s POEMS.

Mrs. Margaret Isabella Weber has just published a collection of her poems un- der the title Planting the Cross at Se- vance and others Poems" In this de- ughtful little booklet are found many poetic gems that breathe of southern patriotism and ardor while the poems Carol at Sunrise" Sweet Symponies," "The Old and The New and others are characterized by exquisite sentiment. The Cross on the Mount of Hope dhe significance of the Indian "Sewanee' site of the University of the south) Is pronounced by critics to describe with tone poetic feeling the impressive scene at the planting of the cross.
 Reference is made to the late Bishop Qnintard, the second founder of the Uni versity of the South. and to Bishops Polk, Elliott, and Green.
 Mrs Weber's many friends in Birming- ham, where she has spent so much of her time, will be greatly gratified that she has yielded to the request of many admirers in the collection of her poems, many of which have previously appeared in the southern press
 Miss Weber is one of the south's most brilliant women. In the booklet just pub lished Miss Weber gives the following little sketch:
 On the 11th of October, 1s65 the Rt Rev. Charles Todd Quintard. s. T. D. IL. D., was consecrated bishop of Tennessee, in | St Luke's, Philadelphia. So soon as he had taken his seat in the house of bishops | he. ff lata Uoxr Merrick asking if he would go with him to sewanee, and undertake with him the re-estabishment of the work which ra1 been begun for God by the southern ! bishops before the war The Rev Dr. Merriek, the Rev. Thomas A. Morris and Maj George R. Fairbanks met the bishop by his appointment at Winchester, Febru- ary 1S66 They rode up the mountain on horseback and found that all of the build war on the site of the university had been destroyed by fire; they found shelter for the night in an old log cabin, occu- pied by MT. William F. Tomlinson.
 On the day following their arrival Bishop Quintard caused a rustic cross of oak to be made twelve feet high, and erected it on the highest point of the do- main. Around this cross a little band as- sembled. while few of the mountaineers looked on with lively interest, having wit messed, in 1860, the grand ceremony of laying the corner stone.
 The bishop recited the nicene creed, and lSneeling on the ground, prayed Almighty God to give them grace to perceive and know what things they ought to do, and strength faithfully to perform the same. - Then the woods were made to ring with that grand old hymn to the trinity. "Glory Be to God on Highr'
 On this very spot the Theological sem mary now stands, and in justice to the bishop of Tennessee be It said that with out his extraordinary efforts for many years at home and abroad in the interest of this university there would not be found today one stone upon another.

 The authorities in various town of the country have been notified and if caught he will be given a chance to dig coal It is said that he is wanted in other cities for like offenses.
 He is a neatly dressed man of good appearance and is quite a talker. Dr. Deadman of Birmingham has insti- tuted a lodge of Eagles in Decatur with forty-four charter members. The officers of the lodge are: E. E. Bennett presi- dent; B. F. Drake, vice president; W. b. Wallace, vice president; MT. Breeson,
