 Alabama.
 There are but seven chapters in Ala bama, but the members are enthusias- tic and are doing useful, patriotic work under many difficulties. As there are few historic spots to mark, the chapters have devoted their energies principally to educational work. and have donated books, periodicals and pictures to the public schools, besides giving gold med aIs to encourage the study of American history.
 The Alabama Daughters 'are working in unison with the Alabama Historical Society. and sent a delegate to the meet ing of the society in June, 1900
 All the chapters will unite in providing items for special column in The Mont gomery Advertiser devoted to historical and genealogical work, and it is hoped that valuable information will thus be obtained and much light thrown upon half-forgotten history.

Their names have been collected and published by the chapter in booklet form, and are to be inscribed on the sides of the monument erected over the remains in the Talladega robt 1n1-A An drew Jackson against the Creek Indians, and their victory over the savages made that part of the United States safe for the pioneer settlers.
 The chapter continues its efforts for the passage of Senate resolution S2 Fifty sixth Congress, first session. If passed, this resolution will provide funds for the erection of another monument to these soldiers upon the public square of Talladega.
