 The money was sent to Captain ]. M. Faikner, who knew the grand father of the little fellow. Captain Faikner has written Master Orr telling him of the gaIlantry of his grand-parent. The letter from Master Orr was ss fol- lows:
 ssTalladega, Ala, Jan. {, 1sos. Captain J. N. Faikner:
 Dear Sir-I send you two dimes, to help build the Old Soldiers Home l am Captain A. W. Bowie's grandson. l am only 10 years old will send you two more dimes when get them. My grandpa would send you some money If he was living.
 Your loving friend.

 Captain Fallkner replied to the letter
 Montgomery. Jan. $. 1908. Master Sidney Orr. Talladega, Ala:
 My dear little friend-Your letter of January srd, enclosing % cents as con- tIlUuJiOu tp luc OtU 8tt0AStS &CCS&NCus kuH which I thank you.
 T remember your grandfather with . great deal of pleasure. first met him In 1881, when he was Captain of cavalry company from Talladega, which was composed of some of as gallant men as I ever knew. His company and my fathers company, Captain Jefferson Falkner. of Chambers County. went out about the same time. We were first sent to Union City. Tenn, where we were joined by . company of cavalry from Louisiana. commanded by Captain Cowles. These three companies led the advance of our army when General Polk moved up to Columbus. Ky. and up to that time l had not seen any other cavalry in that part of the army. For q long time these three companies operated as . battalion, which was first commanded by Major lost his life in battle.
 "Bowie's company and Falkner's com pany were intimately associated together from their first service to the end of the war. Your grand-father's company be- ing finally known as Company and my fathers company as Company B, Sth Confederate cavalry. Both of these conn panies were composed of boys who rep resented the best eiemnt of their coun- ties, and. as was to be expected. they rendered as gallant service and suffered as much as any command that came un- der my observation. There was scarcely a man in either one of the companies who was not competent to command . company. or even . regiment if need be. and it was q matter of partialty or for tuitous circumstances that placed the of- ficers in command of men who were aa gallant as they were.
 ''You may well look with pride upon your ancestry. Captain A. w. Bowie was a grand and good man, and had the love and respect of all of us who knew him. Your friend.

 Means and Building Committee" .

A FEDERATIoN ORGAN.

Mrs, Morrisstts writes the following:
 Georgia Club wotnen have the finest club magazine. bi-11onthly.. crammed with news and information-and abound ing in fius enthustasms. Louisiana has adopted 1t as her organ. so has Ternss- see. and the D. A. R.'s and U. D. c.'s of Georgia make 1t theirs. and 1t is also the organ of the Georgia Normal and industrial College at MilledGeville. It Is easy to see why 1t has become the mouthpisce of progressive States and loyal societies. for it's name is 'The Southern Women" and It's character H. lustrafes its name.
 Mrs. A. o. Granger and Mrs. J. Lind- say Johnson, it's editors, gre New York women by birth and education. and Southern through ties of loves romance and iife's sweet domesticities-their columns are naturally logic on fire: for. calm. cool reason In the heritage ofNorth- ern parents. and Southern parents baptizc their children in srdors and intendties. Back of their writing are nobiest acti- vities, heIpfulness to factory children. establishment of industrial schools. rais- ing of free scholarships, maintenance of travelling libraries. whose inspiring record can be followed by subscribers. Joseph Bryan~ of The Richmond Times. an almost matchelss veteran editor. and our own Mir. Wallace Screws unapproacha- ble in courage and in pellucid English, are not more forceful and impressive than Is Mrs. J. Lindsey Johnson on the subject of model schools and than Mrs. A. o. Granger when she defends the factory children. The scope of these gentlemen may be wider. but, In their range, these ladies are unexcelled. What they think and feel they say with all the eloouence of genuineness- and zeal and culture.
 1t would be well if the Alabama women would all send for a sample copy Of ..rhe Southern Woman" Atlanta, Ga. and examine it with a view of arriving at a. decision when the federation meets on the question of our own organ for another year. We are certainly not taking many copies of the Birmingham paper which gives us . weekly column. though the whole paper is most interesting. for one would love to touch elbows with our charming and energetic Georgia sis- ters. It would give us new life to seek to keep step with them.
 It might be . fine thing to take both the Alabama weekly and the Georgia bi-monthly. Some startling contrasts might be suggested. Some picturesque and practical results might be attained. We might be able after year of its visits to carry resolution like this:
 we will give 36c year to Monfevalio free scholarships. every woman jill of us,' even if we get no Easter bonnets. and wear osnaberg dresses and entertain without dainty refreshmentsT'
 Or this: we will talk and write and agitate for county guperintendents or character, ability. all requisite duaifca- tons and if we can't get the men to vote for such . law we will nominate our eloquent woman suffragist. to the next Legislature"
 Or this: Alabama, the first on the list of States shall not oo last in any good york;" ,--
