President Woodworth, of Tougaloo University, is in the North for a few weeks, and will represent the growing and very hopeful interests of Tougaloo, wherever he may be desired. Letters directed to our office in New York will be forwarded to him.
Prof. Horace Bumstead, of Atlanta University, is now in the North to present the needs of that institution, and we trust that he will have large success. He will be happy to send the Atlanta Bulletin to those who may write for it, addressing him at 148 Tremont Street, Boston. In the light of the large convention of Negroes lately held at Macon, Ga., the Bulletin will be found exceedingly suggestive.

Nannie Jones, a normal graduate at Fisk University, of the class of 1886, is to go, under the auspices of the American Board, to the south-eastern part of Africa, about 600 miles from Natal.
