CHAPTER REPORTS.
The sonhis Bihb chapter.

The September meeting of the Sophie Bibb Chapter, U D. C.. was held at the home of the vice president, Mrs. F. G. Taylor. great many members were still absent from the city, yet there were enough present to make the meeting pleasant and interesting.
 Several motions were made and adopt ed, among them was one to raise funds for the old soldiers committee was formed to ask the other chapters to unite in an entertainment for that pur- pose
 The welfare of the old soldiers should be very near to the hearts of every one, as the condition of many of them is truly pitllul.
 One of our members gave such glo- rious account of the great work per- formed by Mrs. Thomas Taylor f South Carolina, in a successful compiling of the patriotic records of the women of that grand old State and, so great was the enthusiasm, it was at once unanimously resolved that the Sophie Bibb Chapter should have the honor of being the first to offer all assistance possible to our able State historian, in recording the many noble deeds of our own beloved women of Alabama.
 The chapter adjourned to meet the first Wednesday in October, when dele gates to the Charleston convention will be appointed.

Geld and silver had dis. appeared as currency and kind of bar ter was established, that is if anybody had a few yards of cloth to sell it could be bought with corn or wheat. This was more satisfactory than the greatly de precated money.

BRING IN SETTLERS.
Agricultural and Immigration Ques-
 tions Affecting the Stuth

t4ShS <AASStALS1 lAAS oNuLh.
 Nearly elght pages of the October issue of the Southern Farm Magazine of Balti- more devoted to letters from officials of Southern and Southwestern railroads en- gagged in the practical task of attracting white settlers are striking Illustrations of the widespread interest in Southern inn migration, The interest is shown in the North and West by the throngs of home- seekers moving from those quarters by the activity in the South of real estate men who have succeeded in other parts of the country, and by the general spirit of inquiry. Its complement is in the quickenng activities in many parts of the South to make advantages known and to welcome the newcomers.
 Of special interest in this connection is an article in the same issue of the Nigga zine by Mir. Thurston H. Allen of Flor ence. Ala, who presents the detailed fig ures of the experience of German settlers in Alabama with several kinds of crops. This thrifty class depends largely upon itself. but others look to the negroes as helpers in their farming operations. Much Ioisapprehension about the capabilities of the negroes as farm laborers has been created by agitators. MT. Thomas P. Grasty contributes some sensible advice on this point to the effect that the farm is first class school for the proper edu- cation of the negro, and he urges that meanwhile Southern farmers might find relief from temporary inconvenience by giving more attention to the raising of good grade live stock

Six-Acre Field of pahlias.

A six-acre field wholly planted with dahlias occupied Tuesday afternoon the attention of the Garden Committee of the Mass1 chusetts Horticultural Society. Un- der the leadership of Patrick Norton, chairman of the committee, visit was made to the dahlia garden of Walter P Lothrop at East Bridgewater. This sec tion of Plymouth county is the dahlia belt of New England; it's light soil when well fertiliZed being especially adapted to the growing of this plant and Mir. Lothrop's garden is the largest area east of New Jersey devoted to the culture of this pop ular flower. The occasion of the visit was in connection with the award of the so- ciety's prize for the best garden or field of dahlias. and for which this estate is entered in competition with others. All the five classes of dahlias recognized in the societys schedule were here repre- sented by countless specimens. Of the 393 named varieties cultivated in this garden, no two persons would select the same dozen forms. Great advance has been made in late years in the improvement of this flower. and very few of the varieties in cultivation twenty years ago are now known. The Livoni, one of the old pink varieties, is, however, still popular. Of the decorative class were especially noted the Mrs. Charles Turner, a handsome yel- low dahlia: the Grand Duke Alexis and the Miss Winters both white and the Gloriosa light red. Le Colosse. a large, showy dahlia. sometimes produces flowers eleven inches in diameter. Among the most attractive and popular varieties are the Juno, the Perle de Ia Tete dor, white lowered. of which there 1900 plants; the Reisen Cactus. a magnificent red: the Hemelsche. in rose pink; the Clifford w. Bruton, yellow, and the Colonel Wilson, a handsome red. Single dah.ias were also in large supply, and in a great variety of attractive colors. MT Jothrop has sev- eral fine seedlings of his own originating. the Pink Duke of the decorative class; the w. Wllkeson, a crimson variety of the cactus class. and the White Beauty, a small but perfectly formed flower Men tion should also be made of the Countess of Lonsdale and the White Queen, both handsome. free-blooming, and very pop ular varieties The development of the interest in dahlia growing during recent years has been notably marked and we'll shown at the exhibitions of the Horticul- tural Society

John Wade Reyes Chapter, D. A. R

Other phases of the patriotic influence of John Wade Reyes Chapter are shown in its report for September. The distiT1c- tive features of the opening exercises of the colleges at Athens were the presen- tation to each of them a handsomely mounted fac simile copy of the Declara- ton of Independence by the Chapter. Hon. Erie Pettus, on behalf of the local Daughters of the American Revolution, presented the famous instrument to the North Alabama Agricultural School, and made forceful plea for love of coun- try rather than the sordid commercial ism now dominant wherever Old Glory floats. It was one of the happiest efforts of this worthy young Limestonian. The acceptance speech of President Clements was full of cordial gratitude to the Chap ter and praise of the noble society, that realizes its obligation to the heroes of the future, we'll as those of our past his- tory At its opening two weeks later, the Athens Female College received at the hands of MT. Thomas c. Mcclellan the fis simile copy of the Declaration award ed it by John Wade Reyes Chapter. His testimony in support of the vantage ground held by the Daughters of the American Revolution-the most potential of feminine organizations-to inculcate the principles and to perpetuate the bless
 
 son and his compatriots, was convinc- ing. His tribute to republics as the only conservators of pure and cultured manhood, and an enlightened free exer- else of a religious conscience, concluded gracefully his speech. The response of Dr. Glenn was conspicuous for classic merit, and loyalty to all efforts toward the education of young women.
 Misses Bessie Tillman and Ruth Rus sell of the music department sang the Star Spanged Banner with Dixie as a refrain.
