The following .Hrring appeal will
thrill the heart of every Confederate
veteran:
Richmond. Va. June. 1896.
To the United Confederate Veterans
Everywhere:
Your sixth annual reunion will be held
at Riehmond. Va, ON the Soth of June,
1st and I'd days OF July next.
Widely scattered since the war by the
ties Of family aud old-tim fi.esldes. by
the demands of business, by your natu-
raj energies. and by the necessities of
life, you are coming HOME-home to
the city which Is yours by the supreme
tests of the rain of fire through which
you Went. and of the eea of blood
through which you passed on the mis-
sion of her and the common defense.
You have been no prodigal sons for you
inherited only the remnants of q rapa-
cious ravage that was rampant eve:y-
where in your land: because you had
nothing left hut the manhood from
which you were inseparable: but the
fLtted calf shall be killed for you. and
we shall be merry together, not because
OF pity for your sins, but because pride
In your fame demands You shall ,,raver:e
again the etree;s which thrilled TO the
tead or your legions, while they We're
passing to the hanks OF the best army
that the world ever knew
You shall be confronted by the Virgil
mans who We're the comrades of your
Immortal glory. and who are your COM
rades forever. You shall see again the
women who nursed you back to vlgor
from the feebleness of wounds and went
f.om the wretched woe of your losses
and who pointed the dying gaze of your
fellows 10 the heaven which stopped to
enfold them.
Your eyes shall behold for themselves
the city which proudly wrapped herself
In your patriotic hlsnes. from which
she has emerged Il thing of beauty and
u JOY forever
You shall revisit the battlefclds.
which have been consecrated by your
blood and where, If you lost your couu-
Try you found u fame that fills the
world
Heartily helped by our city and her
citizens, we are building for you place
OF reunion i'll which ten thousand of you
may make the welkn ring to the music
OF Dixie and to the chorus of the rebel
yell
On some appropriate day of the re-
union you shall be part and parcel of the
rearing OF that monument which shall
be to Jefferson Davis. not merely be-
cause he was your President and dwelt
as such in the capital of your Confede-
racy, but because he was the unspcak-
able type of that inefta bile manhood
which made the armies of the South
During your stay here. there will be
many a bivouac, where not in bravado
or disloyalty. Tut for sweet memory's
"a Re. Will be sung over again the old
tales, fought over the old fights. yelled
again me old YELL and raised again
the old flag.
Come, then: come to our helrts and
homes and to these bivouacs. Before we
pass TO the great beyond we ought 10
nave one more bout and toast together.
me toSA't shall be TO our own memo, les
and 10 our Confederate comrades. wher-
ever they may be; but it shall carry
along with it n brave blessing for our
teiiow citizens everywhere a determined
devotion TO the safety, honor, and wei
fare of The entire country.

in bringing to the notice of the world her resources than any other section of the south. She has resources and loca- tion unequaled anywhere else, and when properly shown cannot fail to favorably Impress those who are looking for good investments. This is said to remind the people of Birmingham that in about eight months the Tennessee Centennial exposition opens in Nashville for a six months run. This exposition will equal if 1t does not exceed, the Atlanta exposl- ton in the number and magnitude of its displays, and it is important that Bir- mingham avail herself of the opportuni- ty to exhibit her resources and products Steps should be taken to have a credita- ble display there when the gates are thrown open to the public on the 1st of May, 1897.
 Two thousand tons of Birmingham pig iron were shipped to Europe a few days ago. The iron went by way of Mobile, at which place it was loaded in the steamer. Sixty-four cars were required to take it to Mobile from the furnace and 1t represented twenty days work for 200 ton furnace.
 The Textile World of Boston has just gotten out a directory of southern textile works which makes a splendid showing for that industry in the south. Alabama ranks fourth among the southern states as @ cotton manufacturing state. The Textile World shows that at present there are thirty-four cotton mills, with 230,09S spindles and 1924 looms in opera tion, as against thirteen mills, 79,234 spindes and 1892 looms in 1890. In addi- tion to the mills enumerated in the Tex tile World there are several cordage and knitting mills, notably in Anniston, Montgomery and Mobile. Not mention ed in the list are also a 30.000 spindle mile at Cordova, the Peoples mill in Montgomery and two or three others in different portions of the state now under construction and for which the contracts have been let. Then when Birming- hams new 30,000 spindle mill, for which $100O00 was recently raised here, is built that will swell the>total list of spindles to something like 320,000 in the state or an increase of about 400 per cent in six years. That is not bad showing.
