UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY.

l had expected to tell you of the Con.
vention 10 Montgomery where we were
so royalty entertained, but as that was
SO ably done 10 last weeks issue by our
gifted State historian, l will not at
tempt to add anything 10 what she has
written, save to thank her for her kind
words and to say that I felt very proud
OF the Mississippi delegation, and while
regretted not having more members
present, I am sure they made up In
quality what they lacked 10 a
tity as they were attractive represen-
tatives OF our grand old State which is
noted for her beautiful and gifted wo-
men.
AS President I feel very proud OF our
Division, which compares most favor
ably with the other divisions, having
settled most admirably for herself
many points over which many other
states are wrangling or asking the
United Daughters as a body to settle
for them. 1t was very, very gratifying
to know we had no factions, and 1 most
earnestly pray that the tim e may never
come when we, who are united 10 so
grand, so noble a cause, may ever be
disuni'ed among ourselves.
W. are constantly increasing in
membership, new Chapters are being
organized. hope many may be added
ere the close OF this century which wit
messed the rise and fall OF the Confed.
