 The following resolutions upon the death of the camps sponsor were adopted unani- mously by rising vote:
 The death of Mrs. Fannie Morrow Brown has brought great sorrow to this camp. In her girlhood she was it's sponsor, and every member recalls with thrill of pride how, at the great reunion in New Orleans, she stood as the representative of Alabama fair among the fairest, lovely among the loveliest; the daughter of Confederate his surviving comrades. They recall, too, the qualification they felt when it was known that she had given her heart and hand to husband worthy of so great g trust, and had become the queen of an Ala bama home. But the hopes inspired by these suspicious beginnings were soon blasted, and they now recall how, with heavy hearts and measured tread, they followed her to the grave, dust and, with perfect faith, knew that her pure spirit had returned to the God who made 1t. The language of eulogy is important to do justice to her beautiful character. Her frankness made her friends, her beauty sud intelligence com handed admiration, her unselfiShness won the love of all who knew her. The lan- guage of grief is powerless to express the sorrow of Camp Hardee when it cuntem- plates her untimely death, and words of coincidence seem tame and meaningless when it attempts to express sympathy with those who were dearest to her heart.
 Your committee recommend that page of the camp's record be dedicated to her memory; that this memorial be inscribed thereon and copies be sent to her husband and mother.
 w. O. Ward, Joseph F. Johnston and J. B. Webb were appointed as a committee to draw up resolutions on the death of Judge Brooks.
 The camp then adjourned to meet one month from yesterday,
