Organizing Chapter of Daughters of

Henderson, N. c., March 22.-(SpeciaI)
During the past week Henderson has
been honored by a visit from Miss Alice
Quitman Lowell. of Natchez, Regent of the
Mississippi d. A. RS, and youngest State
Regent in the United States While in
our city she was the guest of the family
of Capt. o. r. Smith. All who were for
tunate enough to meet Miss Lowell could
well understand why she has been given
such leading parts to play in the differ
ent societies of Mississippi, Kings
Daughters, U. D. c., the DANES, etc
This leadership is here also by inheri-
lance, as all her ancestors have lived
and fought for Liberty and Right
General Quitman the Hero of Belen
Gate, was her grandfather and she is
much interested in forming a society for
rescuing the grand deeds accomplished by
the "Old Mexican Vets" from Oblivion and
giving them their rightful place in the
history of their country. We, of the Old
North State, have cause to be proud of
the record our soldiers made in this war
and whenever and wherein the Mexican
War is mentioned the names of several
North .Carolinians stand forth blazoned
IN glory, though some Vi IHeSe men were
not born in this State they are sons of
the Old North State by adoption. First
among them stands Gen. d. H. Hill, then
Gen. Braxton Bragg, Maj. William Polk,
Col R. S. Payne and Col. John A. Fagg.
AS Gen. Quitman was the first presi-
dent of the Aztec Club, Miss Alice Quit
man Lowell will undoubtedly be the first
president of the Womans Aztec Club for

In Memoriam

Lines written on the death of the late
Miss Cropsey shortly after the discovery
by Rev. H. B. Parker Como, \. c.:
Poor Miss Cropsey at last is found
Within a stones throw of her door;
The funeral dirge now may sound,
For darling Nell is no more.
Submerged beneath the silent wave,
Her resting place at last appears:
Poor child, she found a watery grave,
And leaves behind a flood of tears.
Great was the effort made TO find
The loved, the lost, the missing one;
But all in vain, no trace, no sign
Relieved the hearts with anguish
wIung.
But now at length the truth revealed
With mighty agony the spirit rends.
But Loving hearts alone can feel,
The grief that with the story blends.
How did she fall? BY her own
Or was it by another's hand?
Whiche' er it be, no sculpturcd stone
A Sadder tale can ever tell thrO' all
the land.
Her lovd remains afar are borne,
TO rest in Greenwood's fairy bowers;
Her soul we hope has reached a home,
Brighter and fairer far than ours.
