The Georgia Enterprise March 5, 1891
~The colored Odd Fellows are prospering here. They marched in full regalia to 
the colored Baptist Church Sunday to hear an able and enthusiastic address, or 
sermon, from Rev. GEORGE W. JOHNSON.

~It is proposed to open the street between the college building and the 
residence on said lot. Also to open the street from Dried Indian Creek straight 
to West Street, running the same on the north side of B. F. CAMP’S home.

~We get the following good news from the Macon Telegraph: Capt. R. E. PARK 
raised $600 in Macon toward the endowment of a chair of mathematics in Emory 
College, to be named after the late Professor George W. W. STONE. The 
president, faculty and trustees of Emory College had raised $19,400 for the 
endowment, and an Atlanta gentleman as modest as he is generous, notified them 
that he would give $5,000 if $600 could be raised by noon of that day, so as to 
complete the required $25,000. Capt. PARK received a telegram from President 
CANDLER laying the case before him. Capt. PARK went immediately to work, and 
within three hours had secured the required amount. Maj. J. F. HANSON responded 
with the munificent sum of $500 and Messrs W. G. SOLOMON and L. E. CULVER came 
up promptly with $50 each.
