 "It seldom falls to the lot of auy con vention to meet with mo-e cordial, hospitabe and sincere welcome than. has been accorded us this morning It seems as though all nature was in sympathy with the Birmingham boys Brilliant as the suns beams were the countenances of the members. The glad hand was ex- tended and through their soulful eyes was reflected the inner consciousness Of extending the heart through .he hand. The ladies, too, God bless them, tent their genial and inspiring presence to grace an urbt ct ho carried into our liycs forever and aye. Word pictures are but feeble. the lips fail to express those thoughts which rise to our minds, and appi opriatc words come not at call-though bidden they are two fancifully pretty to be couchei into language, though 1t DC in is pristine and crystal-lilke chasteness Flowers must be seen to be appreciated, they cannot le lc- scribed. Acts are Judged by their true intent and if this be < truism, how far short will fall this st3te organization in It's endeavor to thank this post for the most beautifu,y tend,reu manifestation of what can be termed love feast. Each resident member may he more than grateful at its results. That each enc did his whole part loyalty and zealously. and in Its entirety the unqualified sue cess that crowned your effort must be the greatest satisfaction D the individual as well as to the body proper.
 Grateful Appreciation.
 While we feel that to express singly and individually our thanks were an al- most impossibility, to all we are grateful ly cognizant for favors so generously be- slowed and so gladly accepted. Yet we make free to add that 1t Is due to our selves that we make mention of the Ala bama Grocery company and Messrs. Me Lester, Van Hoose & Co., for splendid Havana cigars, the Country club for it's kind invitation, the city of Birmingham for it's generous hospitality, the press for its splendid service. Manager Nabb of the Hillman. for his untiring efforts in looking after the delegates and their wives, and carrying out the programme at the reception, and to James A. Daugh- erty, our retiring president, for his de- votion in advancing the interests of the association during his two terms. F. l.. Higdon, our worthy secretary, for his ex- ertions in our behalf, to the members of
 
 erty, Hgdon, Collins, Jones and others and last but not least our only James Cunningham, for his devotion to the la- dies, all of which is respectfully sub mitted.

 Hotel Rates.
 The matter of lower rates at the up, and discussed freely. It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the convention that rates in many parts of the state were too large, and that they should be reduced. A resolution was adopted placing $50 in the hands of each post secretary to make out a list of what are thought to be just rates and that these be placed in the hands of the propretors.
 The matter of incorporating the Ala bama division was also discussed, and 1t was decided to leave 1t to the national attorney. Some thought 1t would be best to incorporate the division, but others thought 1t best to remain a branch of the Missouri corporation.
 After the adjournment the delegates were driven to the Country club and over the South Highlands in carriages, and later the entire convention was the guests of Post B. at the baseball game. About POO seats were reserved in the grand stand for the T. P. A., and all of them were occupied.
