BOTH ARE DELIGHTED

Robert Jemison, Jr., chairman of the
building committee of the Hotel Tutwiler
gave a luncheon at the southern elub
yesterday, with F. w. Rockwell, vice
president and general manager of the
United Hotels company, lessees of the
Tutwiler, and B. NJ. Johnson, secretary
of the same company, as guests of honor
Among those present were w p. G.
Harding, Maj. E. M. Tutwiler, Nathan
J.. Miller, ]. w. Donnelly, Louis Gelders
w. S. Brown, w. l.. Welton Fred NJ
jackson, w. C. Agee. D. M. Drennen,

Forsyth, w. C. Radcliffe, F. A. Wells of
New York, senior member of Wells
Bros, the contractors; Thomas b. Scott
and George Cole Scott of Richmond, Va,
and others.
Mr. Jemison, as host said that he had
invited his guests, most of whom We're
stockholders in the new hotel, to meet
the two officials of the leasing company,
who have been in Birmingham several
days inspecting the building and looking
over the situation. AS it was a business
mans lunch Mr.. Jemison said the speeches
would be short Mr. Harding, Major Tut
wiler, Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Miller and other
local men called upon for remarks eX-
tended a cordial welcome to Mr.. Rock
we'll and Mr.. Johnson, who were visiting
Birmingham for the first time, and spoke
optimistically of the prospects of the Tut
wiler. Every speaker made it plain that
Birmingham was to be warmly congrat-
ulated in having such high-class lessees
for what was to be the most elegant ho-
tel In the south.
Mr.. Wells, in speaking for the con-
tractors, said that his concern expected
to finish on or about March !. The hotel
would then be ready for the decorators
and furnishers.
Mr.. Rockwell, in response to a call for
a speech, told how he hesitated about
leasing hotel in the south. Birming-
ham, he remarked, was a long distance
from Albany, n. Y, his home, but Mr..
Jemison had told him so much about this
city and the Hotel Tutwiler, and being
real estate man, that gentleman never
underestimated the facts. Mr.. Rockwell
said that at first he thought that Mr..
Jemison was merely paying him a social
visit, but he felt the spell coming over
him. He was finally persuaded. "M ell,
Mr.. Jemison brought me here. and | am
well pleased with the situation said he.
The residence section of Birmingham is
unique-the most unique that | have seen,
and | have travelled a good DEAL
After speaking of the beauty of the res
idence portion of this city, Mr.. Rockewll
said that his company was going to do
tie best it could to satisfy the public,
and he expressed appreciation of the
hearty support that the business men here
had rendered him.
Mr.. johnson, like Mr.. Rockwell, was
satisfied that the United Hotels com
pany had made no mistake in leasing the
Tutwiler. Some time ago l journeyed
out to Douglas Ariz., to assist my broth

ton of about so cents per gross ton.

round us ever so sordid, ever so full of despair there is always hope. Hope eternal and everlasting and right there is one mighty big thing to be thank full for for without hope the whole scheme of life would blow up. There would be no more striving, no more living or progress ar education or de velopment or that greatest of all friends of the human race work. And hope belongs to everyone. Poverty can not take it away and among all the blessings that are given to the human race. the divine soul. hope is the greatest and is everlasting. Therefore 1t matters not what the present con . dition there is not one mortal being who can not on this day give thanks to whatever god he believes in for some blessing received during tho year.
 No one can bribe an all-wise Provi- dence. It has been tried many times without avail But while we are of fering up our thnaks for the bless. ings of the past year 1t will not do any harm to go a step farther and thank the same power for the bless ings which we will receive in the year to come There need be no hesitancv about ths. No doubt about the re- tcipt of the care and support of th. same infinite Spirit through the com ing year which supported us and pro Nidcd for us during the year that is past. The keynote of all religion is belief. Believe ye first" Therefore it might be well while today we are giving thanks for the blessings of the past year if We gave evidence of our belief in the might and power or the supreme being to guide us safely through another year by rendering up our thanks for what we will receive at His hands.
 There is something in the year that Is gone for everyone 10 be thankful for so we must not forget ths simple service of rejoicing and there will just as surely be something in the year that is ahead for which we will owe our thanks Therefore if he booves us to remember that the greatest factors in making the yoar between this holiday and the next prosperous and happy year are thankfulness and hope and belief.
