Thompson, the ex-confed- crate soldier who was rescued by the members of Pelham chapter, Daughters of the Confectionery, from the Jefferson county aims house at Woodlawn last De- cember, where he was sent as a pauper, is now settled at the Mountain Creek Sol ance of his days in peace and quietude. For over four months this old veteran of the Lost Cause" has been cared for comfortably by Pelham chapter. Captain Thompson was sent to Mountain Creek last week. Arrangements were made for his admission into the home by Dr. J. c. Abernathy and J. Lawler Darby, a com sisted by the Daughters of the Confed- eracy.
 Tuesday, December 8, Captain Thomp- son, i'll and without friends or money. applied to the county board of revenue for admission in the aims house, which was granted. The next day he was visit ed by member of the staff of the Age
 
 story was brought to light
 As he sat in the mems ward of the aims house. with tears streaming down his cheeks, he declared What a shame if is upon the great state of Alabama for A confederate soldier to be sent to the coun- ty poor house."
 Captain Thompson told the re- DOrtpr that ba ba nently diseased for many years. He was brick manson by trade but for several weeks before he was ad- mitted to the aims house he was un able to work at all He is d member of Camp Bedford Forrest No. 1887 United Confederate veterans of Woodlawns and was present at all of the camp meetings when he was physically able.
 The next day after the interview with Captain Thompson committee from Pel- ham chapter called upon him at the aims house and had long talk with him. He told the ladies the history of his life. Later subscription was raised and with the funds of Pelham chapter he was cared for at a boarding house on Avenue B. Later a home was found for him with a farmer who was also Confederate soldier residing in Shades Valley. There the old soldier remained until he was sent to the soldiers home last week.
 Captain Thompson served in Lander's battery, third Missouri division of the trans-Mississippi division of the Confede- rate states army He has several chill dren residing in Texas but has not heard from them for years.
