 Mrs. Henri Weber of Nashville, one of the most gifted of southern women has been spending several weeks in Bir- mingham with relatives.
 Mrs. Weber Is best known to the liter ary world by her poems which are con sidered gems in thought and expression. They have appeared in the newspapers and magazines and her patriotic verses have been frequently read on public oc- casions.
 One of the most beautiful poems ever written in memory of the confederate dead was read some years ago on Memor- ial Day in Nashville, and this memorial season seems to increase the devotion or the south to the heroes and adds to the deathless beauty of every word written in their memory.
 Mrs. Weber's poem follows: Not the vanquished,--n for victors, Bring we laurel wreaths today Not the living, but for deathless Those who have passed away Hail! My. brothers, marching onward, Onward. on the other shore.
