 The consensus of opinion among the Veterans is that the ceremony should take place on November II, the day after the closing of the reunion of veterans of the Alabama Division in Montgomery. This date will undoubtedly be selected.

 ''The Confederate veterans home at Mountain Creek, desire the good people to donate to them reading matter. to help them wear away the dull monot- ony of their existence.
