 Eufaula. Ala. August 5. 1905.
 Eufaula is aroused as 1t has never been before. Her citizens are con- vinced that their once prosperous school, The Union Female College. at which so many of the best women of Alabama and other States have been educated. is to be re-established with all it's former patronage and influence. and that even greater things are in store for the new school than were ever enjoyed by the old. All this is to be done by the management of an- other institution, an institution located in a sister State, and one which has enjoyed an unusual measure of suc- cess for the past twenty years. Every reader of The Advertiser Is familiar with the history of Brenau College Conservatory, Gainesville, Ga. which under the management of Presidents Van Hoose and Pearce has been a potent factor in educational matters of the South for nearly quarter of a century It is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best equipped insti- tution for girls in the South. Its buildings are new and thoroughly equipped; it has fifty odd pianos; it is the only school in the South which possesses two pipe organs for the use of its pupils; its faculty is one of the strongest in the South: It's patronage comes from the best class of people and it is constantly extending its use- fulness and influence. This splendid institution is the private property of two men, who have given their lives to educational work and whose efforts have been crowned with the largest measure of success They have in- vested some $140,000.00 of their pri- vate means in the school at Gaines vile. and have made 1t one of the strongest in every way. in all this country But 1t is not of the College at Gainesville that I intended to write. It Is so well known. that 1t Is unne- eessary to. write of 1t, and it is of
 The Alabama Brenau
 which is to be established here in Eu- faula, of which I would tell your readers.
 Some months ago. President Van Hoose and Pearce decided that they did not care to have a larger enroll ment in their school at Gainesville. They felt, however, that their influ- ence as educators might be extended by building another Institution In which the same methods that have made Brenau College such a success, would be used and after surveying the field carefully, they decided that Eufaula is the place TOT Sucn an 1nSt1tullOn AcCoFOlnBly they entered into negotiations with the Trustees of what was then Un- ion Female College with the result that they secured the buildings and grounds for the space of ten years with a privilege of twenty. and on the z7th of September will open one of the best schools for young ladies. in the State of Alabama. The fact that this school will be under the man. agement which has made such a great success of Brenau College, means that the Alabama Brenau will be a success from the day of its opening. The building is being
 Entirely Refurnished. from top to bottom.
