women, seven chapters having fallen into line since the Richmond convention
 "The accepted work of the division is the care of needy Confederate Veterans the preservation of the Jeff Davis House or First White House of the Confederacy and the building of monuments to Alabama dead on the four battlefields now converted into national parks.
 "our chapters are loyal, d1ligent and en- thusiasde and gratifying progress has been accomplished by them along these lines.
 "The first two years of our existence as a division we labored faithfully for home for needy Veterans. When enough was in hand to rent small cottage, and begin in an humble way, We yielded to the earnest solicitations of prominent Veterans throughout our State to abandon the idea, deciding to help the needy soldier at his home. This is done systematically, and as generously as our means will allow, each chapter pledging itself to co oltribute to the general fund which Is in the care of the State treasurer, and by her disbursed Every chapter has the privilege of sending in the name of any needy Veteran, the ap- -plfcation having first been passed upon by the camp nearest to him.
 Last year we raised $250 for monuments on battlefelds and, from pledges already made we hope to be equally successful this year. Besides, we have decided to appeal to our State government for aid in this matter.
 During the present session of the Leg islature committee appointed by the Dt- vision will petition them to make General Lees birthday holiday. In addition to our other work the Division has raised through it's chapters S29S for the Jefferson Davis monument fund during the past twelve months. In some parts of the State the Alabama chapters engaged in the me- morial work of caring for the soldiers graves, but this is not the case with the Montgomery chapters. Here the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy may be said to be the children of the Memorial Association, one of the oldest and best known in the South, which has kept its organization since 1860, and still labors faithfully The two associations work tremendously, many women being members of both.
 We feel that your presence among us will prove an inspiration and 0 blessing, and will stimulate us to increased interest and enthusiasm in our work.
 Respectfully submitted,
 ''MkS. JOHN A. KIRKPATRICK, President of the Alabama Division of the
 Daughters of the Confectionery"

The Rummage Sale.

Among the attractive features at the forthcoming bazaar will be a "rummage" sale, which will take place in connection with the bazaar, but in a separate build ing. Mrs. T. o. Smith, chairman of this committee, has not yet called her com mittee together as she was anxious to avoid any unnecessary meeting. A meet ing of the committee will, however, be held in few days. The location for the ruminage sale has not been definitely de- cided upon, but several convenient and att tractive locations are being discussed. The rummage sales, which are a great fad in other cities, have been great successes, and the sales that are to be held in connec- ton with the bazaar will be one of it's most interesting and unique features.

It is authortatively stated that Colonel T. O. Smith will not allow his name to be placed in the contest that is now taking place for the most popular commissioned officer in the Alabama National Guard. Numerous inquiries have been made in re- gard to Colonel Smiths entering the race, as his friends are exceedingly anxious for him to do so, knowing that this popular and gallant officer would make the contest ex- tremely interesting if he would allow his name to be voted upon. It was through Colonel Smiths courtesy that the hand some sword which will be voted to the most popular commissioned officer was donated to the Hillman Hospital, and under no circumstances would Colonel Smith enter this contest, decision which, while being accepted with great reluctance by hundreds of friends, at the same time will be fully appreciated by those who are so anxious for his name to be known in the contest.
