 There proudly floats over the ranks 0f Dothans position in the phalanx uf Southern patriotism and progress another pennant. whose colors of white and red symbolize the badge worn oy the United Daughters of the Confectionery.

The Prospectus Committee is composed of Mrs. B. l. Moody. Mrs. W. s. Wilson and Mrs J. w. Grant. The objects of the chapter the same as the patriotic purposes incor- porated in the, constitution of the Ma tional Confederation, are historical, educa- tional memorial, benevolent and social. Eligibility to membership rests with wo- men who personally aided the South dur ing the war, or women related to men who in any way served the Confederacy. An initiation fee of one dollar is charged. and afterwards tax per capita of twen- ty-cents will be levied annually.
 By those who most sincerely have the good of the cause at heart it Is earnestly desired that the roll call of "The Hous- ton Daughters shall at every future meeting of the chapter grow in length until 1t can claim as large membership as any Chapter in Alabama.
 - Mrs. B. l. Moody. Saturday afternoon, by special invita- tion, the Chapter of "Tne Houston Daughters of the U. D. c. attended in a body the meeting of the Dothan Camp of Veterans in session at the City Hal. The Daughters gratefully appreciated the courteous recognition by the Camp of their organization. and their gallant re- sponse to the new Chapter greetings. The salient attraction of the exercises was theIspeeeh of Hon. Henry D. Clay ton, of Edfaula, our member of Congress. His patriotic address touched responsive chords on the heart-strings of his hear CTS. and attuned the keynote of the oc- caslon to a concert pitch of fervent rev. ererice for Confederate heroes; but with even more eloquent diction did he pay tribute at the shrine of the brave South ern women, on whom more heavily than any one else fell the brunt and burdens of the Civil War. MT. Clayton warmly endorsed the purpose of the U. D. C., and by his gallant apostrophe to womankind fin general, and the Southern woman In particular, he forever converted to his loyal constituency the Chapter of 'Hous- ton Daughters" at Dothan.
