 101IQAL DEPARTQkzNT. Y fNeGsEGaH<<selaeeaeGsEs<s<fsss0 l ick-wIliam Gray Chapter has taken new l life and is now wide awake. During the past year we have re-organtzed, held monthly meetings and had a literary fea- | ture. On January 18th the yearly election of officers was held at the residence of Mrs. Mooring. and despite the intense cold there was present quite number. Mrs. Mooring was elected Regent; Mrs. s. A. Lowe, vice-Regent: Mrs. W. A. Robinson, Secretary; Mrs. Young, Reg istrar; Miss Noble, Historian A plan of work was mapped out and the study was to include the women of the Revolution, and battles fought on Southern ground This has been very interesting, as well as instructive. There have been nine reg i ular meetings and two call meetings. In September Mrs. Mooring rendered her resignation as Regent, and 1t was with regret that we were compelled to accept it. Mrs. T. L.. Robinson was made Re gent pro tenn. This was very fitting as she and Mrs. Barr were untiring !u their efforts to keep the chapter from forfeit ing its charter. Mrs. Barr, though help less and confined to bed, never once lost interest and was ever willing to work for the good of the Chapter. We have on our books fourteen members. though sev- eral are unable to attend the meetings, as they are non-residents of Anniston. We expect to have five new members to report at our next meeting.
