  JAMES K. POWERS, A. M., Professor of Mathematics, State Normal College,
Florence, Ala., was born in Lauderdale County, August 15, 1851. He was educated
at Florence Wesleyan University, in which institution he was a tutor in 1870-71,
and was graduated from the State University in 1873, receiving therefrom the
degree of A. M. He was appointed to his present position in the Normal College
immediately upon his graduation from the University; accepted the place, and has
since discharged the duties incumbent upon him with much credit to himself and
to the highest satisfaction of the many patrons of this most popular school.

  He was appointed County Superintendent of Education in 1885, to fill out the
unexpired term of a late defaulting incumbent of that office.

  Professor Powers is devoted to education. He is a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, a Knight of Pythias, and present Grand Dictator for the State
in the order of the Knights of Honor.

  He was married January 30, 1879, at Nashville, Tenn., to Miss Lulu Reynolds,
of Giles County, that State, and the daughter of the late Calvin A. Reynolds.
