A KIND ACT.
Tbe Y. N. C. A. or lhl« City Remember
ed by President Albert Fink, ot
Ibe K.T. V. dr Do. R. R.,
In lbs Sam of 8350.00.
Some time ago Rev. Dr. Bryson wrote
to Mr. Fink, the President of the E. T.
V. & Ga. system of railways, thanking
him for the use of the rooms at the pas
senger depot here, in which he took oc
casion to ask Mr. Fink to aid the Asso
ciation financially, in order to put the
depot rooms in repair, as the Associa
tion were about to enlarge their sphere
of usefulness, and establish a railroad
branch of the Y. M. C. A. He stated
that about $250 were required to put
the rooms in order for this work.
Mr. Fink replied to Dr. Bryson,thank
ing him for the interest our Association
was taking in behalf of the Railroad em
ployees, and added that he had instruct
ed the Division Superintendent of the
M. & C. line to devote the entire amount
—$250—out of the company’s funds, to
place the rooms in the proper shape Dr.
Bryson wants them to appear in.
'this is unquestionably, a kind and
generous deed, and one that will live
long after Mr. Fink, and many of us
have passed away.

M. E. District Conference.
Tje moi-t interesting and plersmt
sessiou of tie Huntsville District
C >n’erence of the M E Church con
vened at DecaH ur last week.
Conference opened at 9 o’clock a.
in. P E L ikin was in the chair.
Rev M M McKiu ney was chosen
secretary, and after calling the roll
the order of business was taken up
and rapidly dispensed. Toe P E
reported th r District as in a prc sper
ous grow i ig condition. Each charge
w is well represented with consid .
eraLle improvements Revivals have
been held which resulted in the sal'
vatiou of ni' ny souls.
It is quite encouraging to note the
ground the g aud old church has
gaiutd in the few pist years. While
we have made much progress both as
a conference aud church in uplifting
humani y in this part of the field, yet
there is room for more improve
ments.
Ah we survey the field and become
assoc a!ed with the needs of our peo
ple, we r< a lily recall the words of
the blessed Master, “TLe harvest
is tr. at ii il l the laborers are few.”
How grand our opportunities, how
blessed our privileges, how great our
responsibilities. We are pleased to
have iu our midst Rev H N Brown, a
graduate of Gammon School of The
ology, an 1 Pastor of Huutsville
charge, who is doing a grand work,
and who is destined to become a Jer
usalem blade in the hand of the Mas
ter in ibis noble work.
Deiatur, the seat of the couferei ce
will ever be remembered by the mem
bers of the confert nee for their cor*
dial hospitality.
The t ry heiog on a boom, con
sequently it has a rapid growth and
oar exc* lleut] ( hutch withthe Rev M
M McKlnmy as P stor, is conspic
iously situated ai d grand results are
expected.
Toe outlook as to educational ad
vantages is better new thnn ever be
fore. At our last session of the An
nual Co;.fereuce which convened last
Dec 9th at Huntsville Prof A VV Me
Kinney was appointed as Principal
of the Hast Normal Institute, to
which work he is concentrating all
of his powirs. This school ;s sucead
ing nicely, and we expect nothing
else but success from such a worker
as Prof McKinney. Through this
school we mean to lay the foundation
of a structure which is lasting.
Awake ! awake ! The rn -ster now
is calling ua. Arise! arise ! aud
trusting in bis word. Go forth ! go
forth ! pioclaim the ysar of the jub
ilee. And take the cross, the blessed
cross of Christ our Lord, and Faith
ful s-ddiers here below, only Jesus
will we know, shouting fiea salvation
as over the world we go.

A Model Birth Day Letter
Hunisvi le Ala. April. 13 1887,
! Dear Mother.
To dry, according to our family
j tra lition I am 30 thirty years old.
i am sorry at this age 1 have d >tte
so little for humanity but r-joice, 1
1 live for otht rr to toil, weeps and
pray. 1 >ive to live aga;n.
1 rejoice in the work assigned me
in the world.
1 lock upon it as being thegred-st
and most glorious w«.rk in which it
is possible for man toeugage; Indred,
angels wjuIJ rejoics were it their
lotto engage in so glorious a work.
About half ofury lifa has pawed in
the nano of cbiistia rity, being a
professor < f religion about fifteen
years.
Seven years ago last October I
joined the Holet- n Comfereme a
Knoxville Tennessee and as you have
stayed close to my work each year
striving to show myself a man in
the gospei of onr Lord J'sua Christ.
I f«el that my mission to Georgia
and thre * years stay at Grammou
School or Theology was of the Lord.
And I assure you aa to my feelings
my tnissh n to lb s state is no lees
providential.
I feel satisfied to know that many
of God’s dear lambs have fed at my
bauds and I pray that thirty jeers
mere may be allowed me to feed
them.
You should rejoice to know that
God has so honored you and your
family as to do such glorious work.
Now Dear Mother, may God be
with you iu the future as be baa in
tbe pss\
I will closed by saying, TbeLnd
bless tbee, and keep thee: tbs Lord
make His fac« shiue a poo the#,*
and be gracioua unto tbes. Tbe
Lord'lift up his countenance upon
thee, and give tbee peace.

Monte Hone to Have Another Hotel,
Built ot Slone.
Work of Beanodellnw the Huntsville
Hotel to Begin at Onee.
A Mercury reporter learned yesterday
that Mr. Wheeler, architect tor the North
Alabama Improvement Company, had
submitted the plans and specification of
the new hotel to be erected on the site
of the Huntsville House, and that they
had been accepted by the Company, and
the contract for building same would be
let next Saturday.
We also learned that an elegant stone
huilt hotel would be erected on Monte
Sano, in addition to a dozen or moie
cottages to receive tbe hundreds of
guests who will flock to this natural
summer retreat.
The Opera House, too, is to be remod
eled this summer, so that in our city of
elegant residences we may expect a busy
time.
The mountain property is valuable for
building lota, and owners of property
there who wish to dispose of building
lots will have no trouble in finding a real
estate market.
Last evening a number of gentlemen,
capitalists from Decatur, came up from
that town accompanied by Mr. Win. F.
Baldridge, for the purpose, we are told,
of purchasing residence sites on Monte
Sano. We hope that property owners
won’t lose their heads when purchasers
come amongst them, and aak fabulous
prices for their land.
The fact cannot any louger be disgnis
ed that Huntsville is looking upward.
Had we had the right kind of men in
Huntsville when the North and South
Alabama Railway was being built, our
city would to day have been tbe largest,
as it always has been tbe most beautiful
and most healthful, town in North Ala.
