The following “must haves” sent us in a private letter from
President Ware, of Atlanta, illustrate the urgency of the appeals
that constantly come to us from our different workers South.
Mr. Ware says: “We must have buildings; we must have endowments
for running expenses; we must or go to the wall; we must have
building for grade B; for model school building, $8,000; we must
have cottage in girls’ lot for housekeeping instruction, $5,000;
we must have new hall for girls, $25,000, that will give room for
100 girls; we must have shop for industries, carpenter, etc., and
endowment for support of man in that department, about $50,000 for
both;” a batch, it will be seen, of $88,000, with no estimate of
the amount needed for general endowment. We believe that it has
been found so far by those who have put their money into Atlanta
University that it has yielded “some thirty, some sixty, and some
an hundred fold.” The stock is not all taken. We invite investors
to examine the “points” in this venture, and trust that the merits
of the security will warrant a speedy absorption of the entire
amount called for.

We are cheered by many kind words relating to the AMERICAN
MISSIONARY, and believe that those interested in the nation’s
welfare, and especially in the redemption of the South, find in
it much to encourage them to hope and to give in behalf of the
people for whom we labor. Nothing, however, gives more evidence
of appreciation than the steady response to our appeals for paid
subscriptions. So far this year these have been very gratifying.
The price is fifty cents, and we hope there will be no abatement
of interest on the part of our friends in helping us place the
magazine on a paying basis.

In the list of the teachers at Hampton, as reported in the February

DEATH OF MRS. G. S. POPE.
After an illness of ten days, terminating in malarial pneumonia,
Mrs. Pope died Feb. 2, at Tougaloo University, Tougaloo, Miss. For
the past fifteen years she had been engaged in missionary work
under the A. M. A., laboring in Montgomery, Louisville, Selma,
Talladega and Tougaloo. Mrs. Pope brought into her work rare
qualities of mind and heart. Her good judgment, her readiness in
emergencies and her kindly interest in every one was an inspiration
to all. Her death will be sorely felt, not only by her husband and
two little boys, but by the large corps of workers, and the pupils
with whom she has been associated for so many years.
