 This announcement will be received with much interest, as both young peo- pie are prominent and popular.

 A thing in which this city surpases ours is it's splendid riding academy. One would expect this, however, of a Ken lucky city, although it is @ matter of right to one visiting here and should be a matter of shame to the Louisville peo- pie that they no longer have an annual horse show-failure to finance them be- ing given as the reason.
 The new riding academy is situated on the lovely boulevard, about half way be- tween the city and Iroquois park. I am going out Friday to see a lesson. We made a visit to the stables Sunday The master is very clever and it is said has interested many in riding and driving to the extent that lots of people are buying horses in addition to their cars or dispos ing of cars for thoroughbred horses ano carriages.

Of the many Conferences, Conventions AssembIages and Meetings, that Birming- ham has been hostess to within the past few months, none is of more widespread interest and importance than the Bible Training School, which had its premiere on Sunday.
 Sustaining her reputation for encourag- ing the best in every line of endeavor' Birmingham has earned an enviable rep utation in the eyes of the International Sunday School Association, as being one of the most progressive, earnest and thriving "strongholdse In the south-per- haps doing a greater work than any other Southern city.
 MT. Gladstone said on one occasion:
 During my life I have known sixty or the worlds greatest men. Of these fifty five were believers in the Lord Jesus, which statement makes the thinking man or woman stop for a moment to consider what masterpiece of uselessness is the person who has not some religion, who has no affiliations with the church; who does not give some of his time and en- ergy to the thought and care of his soul the very foundation of which is laid in the Sunday school.
 The Bible Training School is one or the greatest institutions of modern times placing Sunday School work on a basis that Is at once tremendously interesting as well as educational, in its tendency.

 The ceremony occurred Sunday after noon very quietly and tho news of Its consummation will come as surprise to the friends of the young people who, though aware of an engagement, did not expect the wedding to take place so soon Miss Milner was visiting friends in the city at the time, her family be- ing still at their country home near Bloc ton.
 The bride is the granddaughter of the late John T. Milner, one of the founders of the city of Birmingham, and she Is thus related to many prominent families of the city. She was graduated this spring from the Central High school. MT Adams is a young mining engineer of Birmingham. He is highly regarded by his business associates and among a large circle of personal friends. He and his bride will make their home here. At present they are with his parents MT. and Mrs. w. c.
