taken as a wife Miss Hosford, a teacher in the Whitewater Normal,
Wisconsin, has installed his family in their Atlanta home, and he
is now going his Southern rounds.
—The “Cassedy Hall” has been built this summer at Talladega for the
use of the primary department and named for Mr. J. H. Cassedy, of
this State, who gave the $5,000 needed for its erection.
—The “Whitin Hall,” at New Orleans, has been built this summer as
a boy’s dormitory and named for the late Deacon J. C. Whitin, of
Whitinsville, Mass., whose estate paid in $10,000, which, for the
erection, was put with $5,000 given by Deacon Seymour Straight, for
whom the university was named.

N.Y., has been made Principal of the Avery Institute at Charleston,
S.C., in the place of Prof. A. W. Farnham, who resigned.

Galesburg, Ill., has been made Principal of the Emerson Institute,

—The Le Moyne Institute, at Memphis, Tenn., has been enlarged at
a cost of $2,000, one-half of which, upon the solicitation of the
Principal, A. J. Steele, was furnished by white citizens of that
place.
—At Macon, Ga., to accommodate the library, which Rev. S. E.
Lathrop has been gathering, a Library Building has been erected,
with a basement for an industrial department. For this project,
citizens of Macon, both white and colored, contributed liberally.
—Rev. B. A. Imes, pastor at Memphis, Tenn., having received an
appointment in the Alcorn University, Mississippi, with a tempting
salary, has decided to remain with his chosen people. He is popular
in that city, and the teachers of the Le Moyne Institute seem to be
as fond of their preacher as the parishioners who make up the body
of his church.
—At Little Rock, Arkansas, a school has been opened this fall in
the Congregational Church of Rev. Y. B. Sims, under Miss Rose M.
Kinney as Principal, a lady of large experience in our work. This
school is the precursor of the Edward Smith College, which is to
go along in that city. Miss M. E. Keyes is associated with her as
missionary.
—The new church at Mobile, Ala., was dedicated on the last Sabbath
of September, Pastor Crawford and Revs. J. C. Fields and F. G.
Ragland participating.
—Rev. O. D. Crawford, who has this summer had the supervision of
the erection of the new church at Mobile and of the Whitin Hall
at New Orleans, has resigned his pastorate at Mobile because of
the incompatibility of that climate with the health of his family.
He will be greatly missed upon the field. He will return to some
pastoral charge at the North.
