 Two young ladies from other cities lent their valuable aid toward making the veterans carnival such success. They bore the expense of the trip themselves and asked no reward except the grateful remembrance of those who love this re- united country. Their promptness pre- sents a pleasing contrast to the dilatory conduct of Private John Allen. One of these young ladies was Miss Stella Davie who is teacher of music in the seminary at Clayton. She is sister to pr. Judson Davie of the board of convict inspectors, and Is a most accomplished and intelli- gent young lady. The other was Miss Ella M. Bibb of Montgomery, a descend ant of Alabama's first governor. and a relative of Maj. Willis J. Milner. While she was in this city she was called on by her relative, Mrs. Hopkins, who is the youngest daughter of Governor Bibb, and is now about 65 years of age. Both these young ladies, who added to the in- terest of the carnival. are loyal daught- CTS of the blood-washed south, fully inn bued with it's traditions and exemplars of its highest culture, and they will ever be held in grateful remembrance by the veterans and their friends in Birming ham, VETERAN.
