(AlI items of social Interest will be gladly noted in these columns if sent to Mrs Ofeorge C. Ball, Nineteenth street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, South High lands. Telephone 9S8) Miss Mary Clayton of Eufaula, daugh- ter of the late Maj.-Gen. Henry D. Clay ton, has been appointed regent for the state of Alabama by the Confederate Lit erary society, and as such she de- sires to secure as, many memorials and relics of the four years war as possible The association asks for pictures, original documents and articles of every kind that will tend to show the habits and man. ner of living of the people and the soldiers of the southern states from 1861 to 1865. The association suggests that these contributions De given as memo irials to soldiers, sailors fspatriots, or of some battle, siege, or. march, the mem- ory of which the donor desires to pre- serve. To each article, should be attached the record of the persons or eventit com memorates. In June, 1894, the residence occupied by Hon. Jefferson Davis at Richmond while president of the Confed- crate States was given to the Confeder- ate Memorial Literary society for the es- tablishment of national Confederate museum. Every southern state is to have separate room. and it is the earnest desire of Miss Clayton to have -Alabama's room as interesting and as well filled with sacred relics as any other part of the building. In order, to accom- apl1Sh this, she is anxious to secure the aid and cooperation of Alabamians in every part of the country., Miss Clayton will be glad to hear from every one who feels an interestai in this important matter, and who can assist her in any way in , this labor of love. All over our state are Confederate relics of great value, and the contributions to Alabamas room in the National Confederate museum will no doubt be worthy of the glorious part Ala bama's sons took in a struggle that 0niy lasted four years, yet which brought an eternity of fame to southern manhood All communications on this subject ad- dressed to Miss Mary Clayton Eufaula, Ala. will receive prompt attention.
