. celebrated last summer. Talladega has therefore the distinction of having within her borders the oldest home for orphans in the south. It was opened soon after the close -lof the Civil war for the reception ofSerphan children of Confederate veterans who were killed in battle. The institution has served its purpose through several wars and thus ministered to Humanity in its struggles of reconstruction.
 About 100 interesting, bright-faced children are today living in the home and being trained for citizenship. These children attend the city schools and after school hours look after the duties of the home life of the institution.
 Rev. E. B. Robinson, the superin- tendent, reports that good progress is being made in all the economic depart ments. Besides the spheres of daily duties, such as preparing food for more than 100, looking 8xter milk and but ter, looking after hd hdsiAework and keep ing the yards, therea steam canning plant where about N9D0 cans of fruit and vegetables are Heseryed.

A wood work shop is operated by the boys, where they are not only learning to use tools, but make useful things to be used by the home. In six weeks time they made about 5000 bushel crates for the Talla-

They do "a good part of the work and from this woodFard, which is the by- product of the Jackson Tinney mill, quantity of the wood used by Talla- dega is supplied. The surplus is shipped to Anniston.
 Owns Large Farm
 The home owns a farm of about 45O acres and 15 mules and horses. The boys are in school nine months, 50 number of men are employed to do some of the work on the farm. School closes about the time vegetation begins to grow, and the boys then begin to cultivate the corn and vegetables. Not withstanding the dry season, enough corn was produced for the institution, as well as a quantity of potatoes, veg etables, hay and silage.
 The children of the home have had remarkable health record. It has been nearly two years since any one was sick for more than one or two dayA They are a hearty, healthy lot.
 To administer affairs in the homa about 12 people are required, and be sides these,. three men are employed ts look after the economic departments. There are 40 Jerseys in the dairy herd to furnish milk and butter for this large family.

home is identified With Ialladega h1S- tory in an interesting way. It was located here more than 30 years ago. Previous to that time it was at Tus- kegee. The fifty-sixth anniversary was the basement could not. But this view of the case was not adopted. Some years later our Baptist brethren, when about to erect new church. got our plans, drawings and specifications and modelled their church from them with the exception of the tower and splre,- which they omitted. They profited by the experience of their neighbors and have comfortable and useful base ment. and have reasons to congratulate themselves in this particular. The plans, drawings, etc., were then sent to some church in south Alabama and have never been returned, hence my ina-, bility to give the name of the archi- tect.
 IncompIeted Several Years
 About F months after the work of erecting the church had commenced the very substantial framework for the roof was put and covered with. the best quality of shingles that could be pro cured the windows, doors and open ings were closed with plank to protect the work already done from injury by the weather 1t stood there uncom- pleted, none of the Ninside work having been alone, for at least six years.
 Just prior to the erection of the new brick building the old wooden build ing, which had been used for worship for some 26 years, was removed to make room for it's successor. During the period from the early part of 1861 to the third week of October, 1868, the congregation worshipped in the chapel of the Snyodical Female insti- tute, now Isbell college. One of the most important reyivals in the history of the church occurred in this chapel in April, 1867. The Synod of Ala bama, in 1867, and the presbytery of east Alabama, at it's spring meeting in 1868, both adjourned to meet at Tal- ladega in October, 1868.
 In June, 1868, the officers and lead ing members of the church met. in Dr. Knoxs office to consider the feasibil- ity of completing the brick edifice erect ed in 1861 in time for the Snyod of Alabama to hold it's session in it. The older men rather discouraged the un- dertaking of work so difficult; the younger men believed that it could be done. After consultation it was re- solved to proceed with the work. It went on and after the expenditure of some $3,000 or a little more the build ing was ready.
 East Alabama presbytery met on Fri day, October 16, 1868.
 The dedication services were at II a. m. Sunday, October IS, 1868 There was large congregation present, all of the available space being occupied There were no morning services in the Baptist and Methodist churches. Rev G. w. H. Petrie. D. D., of Montgom- cry, preached the dedicatory sermon from the following text: Luke, twenty first chapter, fifth and sixth verses, And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

part of the money waa already secured and paid in and the subscribers were then able to pay the amounts sub scribed. If the war should come, thep when it should be over, whaterer would be the result, victory or defeat, the people would be impoverished and could not give; that it was better to use the money now when they had it and could spare it, put up. the building, place it in such condition as to pre- serve what was done if not able to finish it, and trust to the future to complete it. This conclusion proved to be an eminently wise one@ They de- termined to go forward.
 About the first of June. 1861, after the most tragic drama of the. 18th cen tury had commenced at Fort Sumpter in April, the work of building this church was begun, and we who for 25 years have been permitted to wor-

 In 1859 the, question was raised and discussed whether the Presbyterian congregation would erect new chutcIl It is to be regretted that no written and authentic records can be found showing the various stages of this move ment with the subscription list and the names of the persons who. con- tributed.
 Raising The Money
 In 1859 and 1860 the congregation. having decided to. build. raised by sub scription between $1OO00 and $11 ,0O0 About the time this was accomplished the signs of the approaching Civil war were plainly manifested. A council of the chief and wise men of the congre- gation was held to consider what ought to be done as to building since the dark and foreboding clouds of Civil war were surely forming. It was argued that
