There are many Birmingham people who frequently recall that brilliant period when the white house of the confederacy was a conspicuous factor, although for brief time, in the charming social life of Ala bama's capital. The women who made the old south famous for it's belles and beau ties, and the men whose chivalry and courtliness will pefe> auanforgotten memory. frequently gathered under it's hospitable roof when President and Mrs. Davis kept open house. It is an old story, but to the younger generation it Is a charming one, while to those who were conspicuous figures in the old regime there is fond regret in recalling the incidents of the old days.
 The effort to preserve the white house of the confederacy, as is well known, has been undertaken by the Alabama division of the Daughters of the Confeleracy. When the provisional congress leased the mansion for the residence of the confed- crate president, it was owned at the time by Mir. Edmund Harrison, very wealthy planter, and since that time the property from it's location has become surrounded with various commercial enterprises, which makes it very valuable to its owners in regard to it's market value. The various chapters in the state have long ago for mulated plans for its purchase, for the purpose of converting it into soldiers home, relic hall, or library. The move ment looking toward the preservation of the white house is due to the Cradle of the Confederacy' chapter in Montgomery, of which Mrs. J. D. Beale is president. The purpose, however, of the entire Ala bama division of which Miss Salie Jones, of Camden, Is the president, is to preserve this house that was occupied by President Davis and his family during the first few months after his inauguration.
 The resolutions passed by the veterans at the reunion in regard to aiding the Daughters in their work of preserving the white house are of so recent a nature that they have not had time to materialize. While the veterans have regarded the con- verting of the white house into a soldiers home as impracticable, yet they are in hearty sympathy with that movement which has for it's purpose the preserva- tion of the confederate relics that are be- ing collected from all parts of the state.

In Memoriam.
(Ella E. Barnes.)

(Ella E. Barnes.) Her looks Were as familiar books, We read on long and rainy days: Whose silent speech Can touch and reach With simple phrase Our hidden grief. With sweet relief Of sympathy. Her pleasant words, Were singing birds, That in and out, Flew all day long With happy song. And melody of friendly, helpful cheer! Her splendid deeds Were planted seeds Which shall in season bear Bright blossoms rich and rare. Or from the softly swelling root, Shall come most luscious fruit. Or shaply, broad boughed trees, Shall bend with fragrant shade, Above some dewy glade, Through which the signing breeze Shall sing soft lullabies To those who gather there about, All full of memories Of one forever dear, Who is not here! Who Is not here!
