Orphans by

faces while they wiped away our tears and hugged us tight to their hearts.
 And these-what is to become of them when they grow too old to work; too old to croon a lullaby; too old to fill their place in lifes big struggle?
 There are homes for the aged and in finn; there are homes for the sick and the disa bled there are all sorts of places provided for among all classes, and it is very much to the credit of the colored people of this community that they have taken hold of a proposition like this for their own race, and are going to make of it an institution which will be an honor and credit to Birmingham.
 Out in Graymont there is a big build ing; there are Is rooms in it; broad halls and staircases-a splendid tract of land about it; the place is known as ''The Colored old Folks and Orphans Home"
 Up to two months ago, the Building was just about all there was there; the win dow panes were out the steps were fall ing down; in fact, there was little to be seen except opportunity.
 Under the inspiration and encourage ment of George D. Johnson, an organiza ton was arranged at that time which is known as The Tutwiler Walters Char itable association.
 About 20 members compose this organ ization, and each gives. from his salary during the month S1 for the maintenance of "The Colored Old Folks and Orphans Home.'
 During this time the members of the association have gone to the home and repaired it; they have put in the window panes: they've built up the steps; they'v put the building in good condition; they've provided eight tons of coal, buy ing some of it, the other being donated by generous citizens who are interested in the institution: they've put neat curtains the home, two of whom are blind, and up to the windows; they've purchased comfortable beds for the eight inmates of

they've interested the federation whi embraces all the clubs among the q ored people of the city in the work the "home" and each Thursday a me ing is held for the purpose of carrying this work. which in reality was start some years ago by the federation.
 It is a splendid work that the colof people have undertaken for their aged al infirm; it will mean a .haven of rest many tired, weary soul who has giy his or her life to hard work and drud cry; it will mean a countless benefit the orphaned and the needy.
 It is twofold in it's purpose, for it q only helps those who need help, but tea ches those who are healthy d strong and in the heyday of life tl 'it is more blessed to give than to ceive," and that in help:ng others til are helping themselves.

STOTLAR-NABB
 WEDDING SOLEMNIZED

Amidst quantities of stately Easter lilies, trailing smilax and lovely mar cissi, Miss Susie Brown Nabb yester- day became the wife of Mr. Robert Richard Stotlar, the event being sol emniZed at the home of the brides parents, MT and Mrs Charles Henry Nabb.
 The handsome home was transforme ed into a bower of loveiiness, great vases of lilies standing here and there, while garlands of smilaX festooned the walls and hung in graceful designs from the chandeliers
 In the drawing room where the cere- mony that united these two happy young people was performed an inn provised altar was arranged tastefully with background of white, covered with smilax and handsome ferns in profusion.
 Two huge vases of Easter lilies stood on either side and from the high mantel depended garlands of the smi lax. Brides roses were clustered about in graceful manner, the whole forming a beautiful environment for the bridal party.
 Promptly at II o'clock the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march peeled forth from the orchestra and the bridal party descended the broad staircase the reception nall leading to the drawing room.
 Mrs. Hubert A. Drennen, the lovely sister of the bride, was the only at tendant acting as matron of honor On this suspicious occasion. Mrs. bremen was very handsome in a beautiful gown of gray silk with polka dotted in satin effect of the same color. The draped skirt was modish in design and the corsage was beautifully trimmed in princess lace. She wore a large velvet hat trimmed with paradise feathers, and she carried graceful bouquet of Easter lilies tied with white tulle rib bons.
 The bride followed, accompanied by her father, and never looked lovelier than on this occasion. She wore very beautiful travelling gown of midnight blue serge tailor made, the blouse being of white chiffon, elaborately embroi- dered. The collar of the tailor gown was of ecrue and the stylish hat of ecrue, with clusters of French flowers about the crown, had a facing of mid night blue to match her gown. She carried gorgeous bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley in shower eff feet, broad streamers of white lace rib bon being used with charming taste
 MT. Stotlar was attended by his brother, MT. Louis Stotlar of Herrin III.
 pr. Preston Blake performed the impressive ceremony that joined in holy wedlock these popular young peo- pie.
 Immediately after the ceremony a reception was held at which Mr. and Mrs. Nabb were the gracious hosts, Mrs. Nabb wearing very handsome and elegant gown of black brocade combined with lace and chiffon
 They were assisted by their daugh- ters, Mrs. Drennen, Mrs Walter Chew Phillips and Mrs. Fred N. Phillips
 Congratulations were extended and many good wishes offered to the bride and groom for a life of happiness and prosperity

Later while the guests were en- toying a buffet supper, Mir and Mrs. Haz- gard and their attendants gathered about the brides table in the dining room.
