Huntsville Chapter.

The Huntsville Chapter hold their meet
ings regularly, the sixth day Of every
month, and are earnestly working to COM
plete arrangements for building the mon
ument to the Confederate dead of North
Alabama. This work, so long deferred,
is now near completion, and 1t gives
great pleasure to the members of our
Chapter to realize that it can be done,
after so long a time. To further this
purpose, entertainments have been given,
and the treasury furnished with small
sums. making it a labor of love. and re-
minding the world our heroes are remem-
bered. AS the holiday season approaches
1t Is thought appropriate TO have an en-
tertainment interesting to the children.
So early in December the Huntsville
Chapter proposes to have a doll bazaar,
and asks each Chapter in the State to
contribute one doll This kindness will
be highly appreciated While honoring
the dead we cannot neglect to honor the
living. At the last meeting of our Chap
ter it was decided to ask the nomination
of our distinguished President, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Clay Clopton, for the place given
Alabama on the official board of the u.
D. c. at the Convention which meets in
New Orleans November II. We hope our
sister Chapters in Alabama and other
States will endorse this nomination and
give this noble woman the honor due her
position as the South's most distinguished
daughter. We hope Mrs. Clopton can he
present as the delegate from the Hunts
vile Chapter.

Secretary.

Making and Keeping Friends.

Making friends is easy to the girl who
is bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasure and who is genial; but the keep
ing of them demands more than this.
To keep a friend. don't get too intimate
with her.
Have your own thoughts and permit her
to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in the
way of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive, wanting
to know why she hasn't done this and
why she doesn't think as you do.
If her style of dress is not beautiful,
don't tell her; 1t will only offend her. be-
cause deep in her heart she is convinced
that she knows a great deal more about
ii than any one else.
Do not find fault with friends friend
and do not expect to be the only one
given a corner in her heart.
Be as considerable of her feelings as II
she were a stranger and remember that
poIiteness is an everyday garment. and
not one intended only for holidays. To
sum UP in a sentence, preserve the cour-
tesy of the beginning to keep the friend
ship to the end.

that she is a woman of commanding In

wittiest woman Suffrage advocate IN the
world. If she surpasses our own Rev.
Anna Shaw in this particular, then in
deed is she the witticst woman living.
Besides her wit, argument and elo-
quence In speaking, Lady Frances pos
sesses rare executive ability. Recently
she organized into one federation all the
woman suffrage clubs of Great Britain.
The headquarters of the organization Is
the Central Society For Woman Suffrage
in London, and of this body Lady Fran

cause In England is especially fortunate
in having numerous titled ladies' TO ad-

and Lady Somerset, for instance. This
autumn the greatest campaign for the
ballot for woman that England has ever
known Is on, and Lady Frances BaifoIr
is at its front.
She belongs to several organizations
that might be called women's clubs Her
favorite organization is the Womans Lo-

interest the feminine sex in local gov

MIS-. II. u. SANFORD,
Corresponding Secretary.

Deep interest is being manifested in the
coming U. D. C. Convention at New Or
leans. The number of Chapters from
Alabama represented by delegates on the
floor will be larger than ever before. By
the Constitution the present official board
Is entitled to another years. service, and
my earnest wish is that they may con-
tinue In office. But a rumor has been
circulated that there will be some va
cancies on the board, and of course as
Alabama has never been honored, 1t Ia
supposed IL any change should occur,
Alabama will be considered.
1t has afforded me great pleasure to
hear the name OF Miss Virginia Clay
Clopton of Alabama mentioned for off,
cial honors on the U. d. c. board for
this year. The suggestion coming from
other States has been warmly seconded
in Alabama. Mrs. Clopton is more close
ly identified with Confederate history
than any other woman of the South ex-
cept Mrs. Davis. She was with Mr.. Da-
Wis and family when Mr.. Davis was
captured, and was on board the steamer
with Mr.. Davis and Alexander Stephens
until they were separated from their
party and conveyed to prison.
All are familiar with her heroic efforts
to liberate her husband, Clement C. Clay.
who voluntarily surrendered himself to
the Federal authorities. She resides at
her quiet country home. Wildwood"
near Huntsville, the most brilliant and
ilustrious woman of our day.
Let all come together and win for Mrs.
Clay Clopton the honor, already too long
delayed, remembering that in honoring
her we honor ourselves.

Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-
STA and liver complaint. More than
seventy five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitatiOn of
the heart, heart burn, waterbrash,
gnawing and burning pains at the
pit of the stomach, yellow skin, Goa
ted tongue and dIsagreeable taste in
the mouth, coming up of food after
eating, low spirits, etc. Go to your
druggist and get a bottle of August
Flower for % or 75 cents. Two doses
will relieve you. Try it. Anti-MOnO-

oeaIs's Recent improvements.

1t has been noted in these columns
from time to time recently the differ
ent improvements being made in this
city. And it is further pleasant to
notice the tendency to the artistic and
the beautiful.
The many little, and not 50 little,
after all, when you come to think of
it, changes of the past few months
are making a fine show. The gradual
identifying of the court house yard,
the improvement INTELLECTUALLY as
well as materially of the bank build
ing of MunrOe d Chambliss, the de-
velopment of the unsightly vacant lot
next the fire station into a neat lawn
and flower garden, the removal of
obsolete signs and awnings, the use Of
few buckets of paint, have all assis.
ted in making Ocala not only more
pleasing to the eye, but more bust
nesslike as well.
And now comes Mr.. j. +. Edwards
with the nearly completed cOnstruc-
ton of his fine iron fence, in green
and gold and silver, making the hand
some Ocala House yard look more
citified than anything in Florida.
And the appearance of the front of the
house with the new dress of paint
add greatly to the general tOut-en-
semble, if you know what that means.
