Amateur Notes

Fletcher Otto Baxley's Alabamian is assuming an unique and necessary place in the United. Mr. Baxley is devoting his entire time to the encouragement of our poets, who seem rather neglected elsewhere. The amateur world would much appreciate information concerning both the author and translator of the exquisite nature poem "From the Spanish", in the Spring number; though perhaps, like Mrs. Browning's "Sonnets from the Portuguese", this poem is not so foreign as it seems.

In order to satisfy conjecture, The Conservative wishes to state that the peculiar appearance of his preceding issue was wholly unintentional. But for a mistake due to haste and a stupid printer, the paper would have been a conventional 8-page sheet like The Lake Breeze.
