 Nearing the Goal l 7T HE Birmingham Young Mems 0 Christian association is making splendid record in it's campaign for raising S75,000 of the 35,000,000 fund sought in the United States for camp activities. At the close of the second day of actual canvassing a total of nearly S55, 1000 was reported. Chairman J. Frank Rushton, direct ing the team work, has reason to be- lieve that the result of today's can lvass will show Birmingham's figures close to the goal mark. Many large manufacturing and mercantile con- cerns, who never fail to make liberal contributions to every worthy cause, are yet to be heard from. If the can- vassers cannot get around to all of them by this afternoon it is safe to assume that Friday will witness the close of the campaign with the full quota pledged, if not overpledged. These brilliant money-raising achievements are great educators in public spirit. They develop the get together habit and make for larger community vision.
 If Birmingham does not always get what she goes after nobody can say that she is behind other cities of it's size in the matter of liberal giving. Population considered, this city easily beats all other southern cities in fi- naEeial support of war measures. Let's keep up, the pace.

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS

There are all sorts of people in the world, including the fellow who would rather tell his troubles than be popular. After you have roamed around for a while, you discover that the counter feiter isn't the only man who makes money dishonestly. Some fellows can't find work because the only job that would satisfy them is the job they can't get. What has become of the old-fa shioned | man who bought a box containing a dozen paper collars for a dime? Men should saw wood and say nothing. 2 it isn't womans place to saw
 wood.
 sometimes a man remains bachelor because it is against his ethics to marry a woman who has money and against hls business sense to marry q woman who hasn't any.

of usefulness.
 believe, however, that the thing which has most impressed me in Sylacauga are the churches. She has a right to be proud of her church buildings. The Meth odists and the Baptists have outdone themselves in building temples unto the Lord. Either of these churches would be a credit in the city of Birmingham They are daily witnesses to the fact that the Sylacauga saints put a very high value on religion.
 
 Now this is the city in which the State Baptist convention is holding It's annual session, and therefore will be pardoned for paying a tribute to those who built the beautiful church in which we are meeting. I think I know something about church architecture. and I say without hesitation that the Baptist church here in Sylacauga is by long odds the best built and equipped church have ever seen in a town of its size It is almost perfect building in ap- pearance and in arrangement. Whoever planned 1t knew his business. Whoever built 1t was master builder. Whoever decorated 1t was an artist. Whoever lighted 1t knew the art of lighting. Ev- erythins about 1t is in perfect taste. As took my seat and looked towards the pulpit saw vases of as handsome chrysanthemums as I had ever seen in a chrysanthemum show placed here and there between pots of ferns.

Death of Miss Mary Henry.

Miss Mary Henry died at her
home, 1904 South street Sunday
at 10 o'clock. Death
came like a quiet guest and
paused Just long enough to gen
tly release a soul from a weary,
long tried body. Miss Henry's
illness had claimed her many
months during which time she
was the grateful object of So
licitude and care that only mar
velous patience and considera-
ton could bestow, and she gave
up at last a life that had been
filled with Christ-like deeds.
Every call of humanity and
Christianity met a quiet, sweet
response in her nature and other
people were made finer and bet
ter because of her influence.
In her illness Miss Henry's
patient courage and fortitude
made sympathetic friends of
those who knew her least and
doubly endeared her to those
near by ties of a life long asso-
citation. She was a valued men,
ber of the Presbyterian church
and was helpful in many of its
departments.
Miss Henry was born July 2,
1875, in Lexington, and had re-
sided here the greater part OF
her life.
The only surviving member
of her immediate family is her
brother, John Chamberlain, Of
this city.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the
family residence. 1904 South
street. Rev. Robt. L. Cowar
conducted the services.

a town which shows a progress

go forward.

photographs in natural colors of
beautiful homes, parks, and
town paintings in different parts
of the United States. There
