The history of the Magic City itself as everyone calls Birmingham, is en- twined interestingly with that of the Church of the Advent. which ranked as
 the first Episcopal church of the new which today ranks as the leading and
 most influential parish of the Episcopal church in the state of Alabama. At the time the Church of the Advent sprang into life there was no organiza- ton of the Episcopal faith in Jefferson county, the nearest church being Tusca- loosa
 The Rev. J. F. Smith, whom Maj. Willis
 J. Milner styles "a lovable old man. was sent to Jefferson county as missionary and while residing in Ts-iadega Mir Smith
 made monthly visits to "Elyton, as this city was first known, holding services for those of the faith in the Presbyterian church edifice at sucn hours as would not conflict with the Presbyterian serv- ices.
 There was just a handful of Episcopa- Hans in Jefferson county at that time, which was in 1870, n and '72.-
 The Elyton Land company, of which James R. Powell, the nian who christened this city Birmingham, as the result of the inspiration of John T. Milner, was president had prior to MT. Smiths com ing announced it would donate sufficient land to any congregation which would erect thereon a house of worship for those of it's faith.
 It was Maj. w. J. Miner, who is today
 one of the most loyal members of the parish. who selected the lot on the cor
 her of Twentieth street and Sixth ave- nue, upon which the church of today stands, as the site for the first struc- ture. MT Smith. the summer before the church was built, approved the se- lection. but later on, through tlIe fnfiu- ence of the bishop, a slight increase in the area of the lano s'as secured. ! The deed was made accordingly by the Elyton Land company. and the parish was then organized, the first vestrymen, as nearly as can be proven. being Ma jor Miner. James R.

 which marked everything he undertook. The church grew as the town grew and MT. Pitts, whose children are to- day among the leaders of the parish and the community. served it faithfully and well for about two years, resigning October 1 1875, to accept call in another state. Rev. MT. Pitts had be-

STEVE SHELDON FREED
WITHOUT EXAMINATION

Failure to bring to light the requir-
ed evidence against Steve Sheldon
resulted yesterday in the dismissal of
Sheldon from a charge of white slav-
cry at Reno. District Attorney
Moore filed the complaint last week
on request of George Ross of Tono-
pah and Captain Donnelly of the
state police. Sheldon was released
on $500 cash bail. On failure of the
complaining witness to appear for
the prosecution District Attorney
Moore conducted an Independent in
v~estigation which convinced him that
the charge could not be sustained
and Sheldon was therefore released.
