our reunited country. Straightway,
sometimes, from such scene as that
described we would go to cheer the
Richmond Blues, brave fellows, who
carried Old Glory to Cuban waters, as
lovely Hollywood cheered the blue
just as Justify as the tattered grey; or
to hall all red, white and blue, where
the d. A. RS gave us good cheer. All
this is only homage to sacred Senti-
ment, deathless as the ages to come to
those who loved and lost.
The unwilling of the bronze tablet to
Winnie Davis, placed in St. Paul's
church by an artist friend, occurred the
first day. 1t is fine piece of work, and
the address by Bishop Peterkin was a
superb piece of tasteful oratory.
The unwilling of the monument to
Our Winnie" as General Lee called
her, was the most conspicuous event of
the week. Nature smiled back tenderly
from autumn-tinged mountain top, from
the melting haze of November sky, the
the glancing ripples of the historic
James, and caressed the cheek with the
wooing softness of Indian-summer air.
1t was scene to sink deep into the
heart, to inspire the coolest with heart
felt emotion. About the beautiful
Deans lot, guarding it from intrusion,
stood a relay of old veterans from the
Soldiers Home. The impressive cere-
monies concluded, the slender lad, Jeff
Davis Hayes, uncovered the two statues,
one of bronze placed above her husband
by Mrs. Davis, the other the result of
one years effort among the U. ID. G.
Above President Davis a Confederate
flag in glowing blossoms paid tribute,
while every conceivable floral beauty
converted his and her resting place into
mounds of fragrant beauty. An inter-
esting fact is, that Mr.. Zolney, the
in his will that he shall be laid to sleep
in beautiful Hollywood Nature was
surely in her most atfluent mood when
she laid out this enchanting spot, and
to nature art has added every additional
aid. This is the Mecca of every visitor
to Richmond, whether Southern or
Northern. Iwish you all might visitit.
will merely speak of the new presi-
dent, Mrs. Weed, of Florida, wife of
Bishop Weed, and in every way fitted
to prove worthy successor of the for
mer admirable president, Mrs. Katie
Cabell Currie. Mrs. Weed is of the
most delightful type of Southern woman
hood, full of strength tempered by re-
fined gentleness.
Tennessee is again recognized in the
executive management. Mrs. John P.
Hickman, of Nashville, who for four

to the U. d. c., is reelected recording
secretary by most complimentary vote.
There remains to tell the matchless
hospitality of Richmond and Virginia,
for Richmond is Virginia and Virginia
Richmond. 1t was untiring, over
whelming, and cannot be measured by
mere words. The social side, and the
historic points that make this whole
city a museum of rare interest, must be
reserved for another time. A. B.. M.

After the wonderful success in secur-
ing the beautiful monument just erected
to the loved Daughter of the Confedels-
acy, it is beyond doubt that in few
years the great leader of loved cause
the martyr who bore uncomplaininglt
the South's ignominy in his own peit

have neglected to speak of the meet
ing place for the convention. The roof
garden, now enclosed, of the superb JEFF
ferson hotel was kindly supplied by the
proprietor, Mr.. Fay. The stage was
beautifully decorated with Confederate
flags and potted plants, and except for
the confusion and constant talking the
acoustic properties are not very good
it was an ideal place of meeting.
Sitting near me on Wednesday was a
strikingly lovely woman in deep black,
with white hair, black eyes, and pure
patrician features. At one stage in the
discussion of President Davis monu-
ment genuine rebel yell broke upon
the ears eagerly listening. Itwas taken
up and the dome resounded with cheers
and cries. A gentleman back of me =

lady," pointing to the one who had SO
attracted me, "she gave that first cry"

Why DO They TThus2

Behold, it was evening, and there
was to be a wedding in one of the
churches, and forty minutes before the
time for the ceremony to take place
the people began to throng the church.
each one seeking to get the best place
possible for himself. And while they
waited the organ discoursed sweet mu-
sic, though the player could not be seen
for the great mass of palms banked up
about the pulpit
And after time the wedding march
began, and the voices of the people,
which before had sounded like the wa
tiers of a shallow brook running over
half hidden stones, were hushed, and
the necks were craned in the direction
of the door, watching the advent of the
bridal party. And 10, the party en-
tered the church, and it was vision of
loveliness, and all the people smiled
And when the ceremony was ended
many of the people wended their way
to the home of the bride, to which they
had been invited, for bridal reception
was rendered to certain friends of the
family. And behold, there were very
many of these same friends, and the
house was filled with many folk, and
there was the sound of music and of
laughter, and the voice of the people
was as the voice of many waters.
And behold the people gathered
about the hall, near door into which
one and another darted from time to
time, and from which one and another
from time to time emerged. And he
who watched these people asked the

I. D. G. CONVENTION.

RICHMOND, VA, November 13.-The
great convention of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy is over, and a
charming experience it has been-one
Of par cet
forego. The universal dictum was that
such a glorious meeting of Southern
women never had been, and in all prob
ability never could be again.
AS setting for such purpose Rich
mond, of all places, is Incompatible.
There are such occasions as when the
atmosphere or environment is inharmo-
NOUS. Here everything, everybody,
was in utter harmony. The result
must of necessity be gratifying.
Rather than give ''jumbo-layer" or
potpourri of all phases of the conven-
tion l shall treat it in sections.
First, the meetings or sessions. No
one who was an interested member of
this great organization but must realize
and deplore the absence of system in
the accomplishment of business. This
arises solely from ignorance of parlia-
mentary law. And do not mean alb
struse technicalities, but the simplest
governing rules. A bright woman told
me of club organized in her city whose
president, perfectly adorable woman,
announced that their society would be
run informally. She, and the members
as body, really believed that formal
ity and attention to parliamentary rules
was somewhat unwomanly, and a nice
side issue which did not affect the
whole. | am told the result was disas-
trous. Bedlam ensued: the president
went into nervous prostration, and
designations fell fast and furious. A
bright member saw the difficulty and
proposed a remedy. A teacher in ''tac-
tics" was secured, lot of Roberts
Rules of Order purchased. Result, Or
der out of chaos. Never have seen
greater need for knowledge of the fund
amental principles of proper conduct of
meetings than here. The ex-president
Mrs. Currie, is an excellent presiding
officer and good parliamentarian, as
are some others of the convention; but
presiding officer and handful of
posted members can't run meeting.
1t is the big majority that counts. Dis
order was rampant, and at least one
half the precious time which might
have been saved for enjoying the
charms of this city of storied wealth
wealth of traditions possessed by no
other in the world-was absolutely
wasted. I wish that l might reach
every Daughter of the Confederacy, but
especially every Chapter president, to
urge the introduction of parliamentary
study in the years exercises, so that
any delegate chosen shall be equipped
to add her share of influence toward
dispatching business and tightening the
burden laid upon the president.
Most important of all the business
done was the assumption by the U. D. G.
of the responsibility of erecting the JEFF
ferson Davis monument. The veterans,
led by the Lee Camp, of Richmond, the
first organization of Confederate veter-

IT HAS recently been claimed that
cases of infection that could be account
ed for in no other way have been ex-
planned by the fingers as vehicle. In
handling money, especially of paper,
door-knobs, bannisters, car-straps, and
hundred things that everyone must
frequently touch, there are chances in
Vulnerable of picking up germs of
typhoid, scarletina, diphtheria, small
pox, etc. Yet, some persons actually
put such things in their mouths, if not
too large. Before eating or touching
that which is eaten, the hands should
be scrupulously washed. We hear much
about general cleanliness as next to
Godliness' 1T may be added that it is
next to health and safety. The Jews

KNOXVILLE is aspiring to become a
city of one hundred thousand popula-
ton within the next few years. One
of the ways to attain the desired end
is for Knoxville people to patronize
home institutions and home enter
prises Patronize home manufactu-
rers, home dealers, home schools, home
teachers, artists, artisans, etc. Knox
vile does not do this as it should. 1t
is lesson it could learn to its great
advantage.
