 The ladies of St. Mary's on the High
 lands will entertain on the lawn of the

 6:30 o'clock
 The following clipping from the
 Nashville Banner will be read with in-
 terest by Alabama friends, as Miss Col
 son has been frequent visitor to this city and makes her home in Wetumpka:
 "A beautiful song that will appear inn
 mediately, is "A Bird With a Broken | Wing,' the words of which are by Will
 Allen Dromgoole, the wel-known Ten
 nessee author, and a member of the
 Banner family. The music of this ex-
 quisite composition is by Miss Florence l Golson of Alabama, for some time a
 rupil in the Tennessee School for the
 Blind where she received much of her music instruction She was also a pupil under Miss Sarah Boyers, daughter of
 MT. Thomas Boyers also of the Banner.
 Miss Golson is an exceedingly gifted young girl, and the fact that she is blind
 adds materially to the fact that she has | mastered music and composition, and gives promise of a splendid future. The poem was written especially for her, l Miss Dromgoole being much attached to the plucky and charming young musi- elan. The manner of the composition is interesting: Miss Golson called on Miss 1 Dromgoole and asked her to write the words for some musical compositions she | had in mind
 Suppose said Miss Dromgoole you l write some music to some words I have ot mine? So 1t was agreed, Miss Drom- goole recognizing the exquisite fitness of the Bird With a Broken Wing to the 1 character and talent of this young com poser.
 1 The John Church company of Cincn- nati is the publisher, and the composition 1 is dedicated to Helen Kellar, another l friend of Miss Gosons. The air is ex-
 quisitely appealing, tender, restful tri- l umphant. The publishers are much
 pleased with it, and predict for the com position splendid popularity Miss Col | son is herself beautiful singer and it
 was on hearing her sing that the poem
 presented itself to Miss Dromgooe.
 Friends of the musician and former com rades at the school will be deeply inter- | ested in this success, which has come at
 the very outset of her career to their
 former fellow pupil" l This evening at s o'clock a reception will be given for the new members of l the Norwood Methodist church. There 1 will be a programme rendered consist 1 ing of words of welcome, music and I readings, followed by refreshments, which
