Helping Five At Once

T have been in America nine months and should like to learn the English lan- guage, but l cannot afford to buy the necessary books because I am working for 8 in a tailors shipping room and have to support my wife and three chil- dren. VIII you please help me to get that dictionary which c. A. c. offers? At once, l beg you to be so kind if 1t is possible to secure me some work to do at home in the evening hours. l am 34 years old, cap- able and intelligent. I speak German, Hungarian, Ruthven, Slav and English, and would ike to work at anything to make living for my dear family. Or to give me advice how I could improve my self; how l could learn a trade in the evening hours? It would be great char iiy to help five persons at once.

Her Children's Sole Support

T am interested in a brave little seam stress, widow with four children to SUD- port. Their ages are from to 0. She is divorced from her husband a suit of ali- meny is pending. So far there are only her earnings to support the children She has worked up nice trade and makes as much as 30 and $10 a week. I know an adjustable dress form would be of great help, but she cannot afford to buy one. And if some generous person could pass on to her short mirror they might be tempted to lend a second hand and aid her ill her work. She doesn't enjoy the lrxury of an ice chest or even ice. Has some one such refrigerator? I am in lio way related to her, but will stand for express charges if anyone will assist her. She is deserving in every way-in fact. d fine little woman. E. B. S.
 Your touching story of the bravery of one woman under the weight which would crush a feebler spirit to the dust cannot fail tt excite the sympathy of our readers. l give it as you wrote it and hold your address. You ask but little for one whose need is great.

NOTES OF INTEREST FROM ASHEVILLE

Birmingham and Alabama society is still largely represented in the Land of the Sky,' and although backlog fires and heavy wraps are in order up here in the western North Carolina noun tains the end of the season, which has been one of the gayest in the history of Asheville in sight. September has often been described as the most delightful season to spend in Asheville and this news has evidently reached Birmingham and other places in Alabama, for every train brings in some society folks from there to enjoy the festivities
 During the past week huge log fires have been kindled in the unique fire places of the Hobbies and reception rooms of the several resort hotels and between dances the happy throngs gather around the burning embers and enjoy the rests in easy arm chairs. The cold, bracing atmosphere all day long makes mountain climbing, provided you are equipped with warm woolen sweaters and coats and heavy top shoes, delightful, while golf and tennis and horseback riding are at their height in popularity, and all of this sport Is being greatly enjoyed by the Birminghammers
 Dr. Joseph B. Greene, formerly of Bir- mingham, and q brother of Judge Sam uel E. Greene of that city, is the chair man of the tournament golf committed of the Asheville Country club, and he has arranged a series of excellent sport upon the famous 1S-hole golf course at the foot of historic Sunset mountain, where Birmingham and other society peo- pie gather morning, noon and afternoon. Mrs. Victor H. Hanson and Miss White have gone to Knoxville for visit be- fore returning to their homes in Bir- mingham after having spent a greater part of the summer as guests of the Grove Park Inn, which, with Battery Park hotel, has been the headquarters for Alabamians. MT. Hanson made sev- eral trips to Ashevile during the sum mer. His wife and Miss White are now the guests of Mrs. A. E. Sanford of Knoxville and were recently compliments ed with a dance at the Country club in that city,
 MT. Sydney J. Bowie has returned to Birmingham after stay here. Mrs. Bowie, Miss Alice Bowie and Miss Eliza beth Bowie, who have been the recip- tents of a series of smart social events while here, will remain for some days longer in the Land of the Sky"

For Those With Few Pleasures

There are in this institute three wards cared for. Children in one. men in an- otfer and women in the other These pa tients are kept clean, are made comfort able by the attendants and their wants are looked after. There are few pleasures they are capable of enjoying, because of their low mental condition. Music would ado materially to their happiness. Feeble minded people often are Reformed, and frequently repulsive. We are making daily sacrifices and I feel anything that would tighten their burden and help us in our work to interest and amuss the pa tients would be of inestimable value There is also all over the infirmary and tubercuar hospital a demand for good reading matter--books. preferably boys adventures, fairy tales. mag azines. Games and playthings in good usable condition will give happiness to a little tubercular child. or might bring a smile to the fact of Predetermined lit- tie one AMELIA S."
 The correspondent is a public officer in an institution of which we read with deep and painful interest. The establishment of departments in inflrmaries for the ex- press purpose of caring for and so far as may be for the development mentally of the fceple-nninded is one of the sublimest features of modern civilization. This class Of Infortunates was until lately branded as hopeless disgrace to the family and blot upon the community in which they lived What will the Corner do to prove our respectful gratitude to this branch of the public welfare?

Commission Government.
(Copyright.)

Much interest is being manifested
in the meeting of the Lambertville
Chamber of Commerce, which will
be held in the city council chamber
tomorrow Thursday evening to
discuss commission government.
The meeting will begin at 7.30
o'clock, and one of the first things
will be statement showing just how
such form of government would
affect this city as to its officers and
their powers. This will be an I'M
biased presentation, by the Chamber
itself.
Every member will be privileged
to express his opinion, for or against
such form of government, and the
members are permitted to invite
such friends as they think will be in
terested in the matter.
New members will be received at
this session, and reports upon
possible industrial expansion may be
submitted.
1t will probably be the biggest
meeting of the Fall.
