 The Daughters of the Confederaey have undertaken to assist Camp Hardee and to serve the lunches, and. in doing so. feel that they are representing the spirit of 2 hospitality that animates all our people. Every one is an individual host of the old veterans. They will be the guests of each and all of us, and all of us want to do the very best possible thing to pro- mote not merely their gayety, but their actual comfort while in Birmingham.
 We must not forget that some of these old confederate veterans are very poor. And, yet, every one is entitled to come to this reunion with their old comrades, and it is our duty and our pleasure to help make 1t a holiday without money and without price to them. We may not have another opportunity of adding to their happiness, and some of them will be on their last outing at this reunion on earth.
 So it has been arranged to serve lunches In the Crittenden building. 1916 Third ave- nue, on Wednesday and Thursday for all veterans, who may call and share in this measure of hospitality That such an undertaking will be expensive goes with out saving. and that the provision made for the old veterans must lack nothing and be in proportion to their numbers, also goes without saying.

A LESSON OF LIFE.

 grace. The Earth a-glow beneath the suns first
 fame While human eyes must turn them from
 his face. And I?-I stop to buckle on my load, Over the roughening path to plod apace, Unmindful of the voice that whispers low: Each day you've started from the self
 same place." Courage and patience, impatient heart of
 mine! Heed not the counsel that would have
 thee lag And loiter by the way with idle tears Success comes but to those who never
 flag; Who, seeing not the landmarks, press
 ahead Along the path God lightens with His
 smile, Knowing-that all of life is just to strive, And trusting Him for all the after while. Birmingham, Oct. 27, 1903.
