<ZA HE province of this article Is A merely to mention the names
 of those %writers who i've III our midst with the names of their fe1 snective works, and not to write ap- preciations" of our literary folk, nor to analyze their productions.
 With whom shall I begin. and now shall I proceed; by chronology by aI- nbabet. by merit? None of these rules will I use. but I will simply write NIontgomery authors down in such or der as they present themselves to mind setting aside some for the last upon the old rule, best for last.
 The very last days of Joseph Jeffer- son were spent amidst movers the flowers of his own garden. In walk ing through rows of these roses he sajd to his companion: All old men should take an interest in somethins in which there is expectation Now flower garden is all expectation. MT JefYerson did not undertake to write ur a family history. The quest or lost ancestors, strayed uncles, and wander ing heirs, is sn occupation Of even greater interest and expectancy than a sssrdsn. On such quest has Mir. Henry W. Clark employed the evening hours of his life. The published vol 1Inoes of the Brockman and Dean Fam7 sfies the Clark the Parks, the Goss and the Davfs families are the fruit or his labors.
 It was quite by chance that once heard about a prize awarded by a rotawortbv source to an essay written hv Captain Ava Fitzpatrick. The story has ginger in it. and ought to be told over the wine and nuts to be fuIly appreciated. The first fact was that Captain Fitzpatrick wrote the essay for a young friends graduating thesis the second that teacher Of the col iere. appreciating it's merits. stole it ana pairned it off as original in an au- thorship contest some months later. The third was that the aforesaid teach TT or "graftura' received very hand some cash prize for the essay, fl being deemed the best production Tn the con test. If one is given to sophlstry or casulstry the opportunity presents It. self: who was ethically entitled to the money, the author. the student or the 'graftura?' This. however, !s told en passant only in pleasantly
 We are all familiar with Captain Fitzpatrick's signed writings. Lippin- colt published his 'Bonepartists Ex- iles," and other well known magazines mention need be made of him as editor and orator, for his reputation Is secure upon these counts.
 pr A J. Messing has done some very serious literary work and is at present engaged upon his most preten- fious effort. Among his published works are 'sHarmonistic Interpretation cs the Contradictions in the Hexa- teuch." 1896: Symbol Sermons and Oc- easioraI Addresses" 1900 in book form; .sTudaism and the Higher Criticism." published in New Orleans in 1904 in pamphlet form. He also wrote several ageicI&s for the Jewish Encyclopedia.

ter His articles on financial and cur rent political subjects have attracted national attention, and have been col lected in separate book form. He has delivered many public addresses and has contributed several papers to lt- erary and learned societies. Colonel Woods is thought to be engaged on an elaborate history and review of Presi- dent Cleveland's two administrations.
 Miss Mary Kirkpatrick and Miss ce- cile Craik, two very clever Montgoui- cry girls, have been for two years joint editors of ''Tattle," local society publication.
 Major J. c. Harris. In long public career, has written much on education, Masonry and politics. He has often de- iivered public addresses on anniversary and memorial occasions. He is. bring ing together all of his writings, with view to their republication in cot lected form.

Alex Troy. although lawyer in the active practice. has for twenty eight yeats been Secretary of the Ala bama State Bar Association, and in his official capacity has edited its proceed ings in twenty-six volumes. He en- joys an enviabIe reputation as an af- ter-dinner speaker. Several of tis<ad- dresses on such occasions have been separately published. among them Tres land" and Robert Emmet."
 There has so recently passed from among us a beloved fellow craftsman of the authors that feel compelled to name her in this list. Reference is made to Mrs. Kate Hutchinson Norris sette. The value of her moral force, as well As of her timely words of cheer and inspiration will go on among Us for far longer than she reckoned or ever could have known. As aItruist, as patriot, and as child lover she was ever ready with pen and personal service to do her part, a part none other could do so well. Tn her death Montgomery sustained an irreparable loss. in which the whole State shared

 Miss Frances Nimmo Greene is Prln- cipal of the Capitol Hill city school. but finds time for literature during vaca- ton months. Her well known prose rendition of the Idyls of the King. en- titled King Arthur and His Court has met with marked public flavor. The fact that about 10000 copi&s of this book have already been sold Is prac- tical evidence of It's merit. Miss Greene in a delightful new book of chivalry called With Spurs of Gold" Her short story. Light. More Light" was a Sunny South prize winner. She has written much short fiction and poetry and has done clever special feature press work.
 Miss Dolly Williams Kirk is teach CT in the Girls High School of Mont gomery and as was said above Is joint author of with Spurs of Gold" Her poetry has appeared in magazines and the, current press.

 Captain Shepherd Roberts followed his college course bY the contribution to the publications of the Alabama His torical Society of study on the Ca reer of Governor Benjamin Fitzpat- rick" Having still the student train ing fresh upon him it is to be hoped that Captain Roberts will do other llt- erary work.
 Colonel A. A. Wiley has not limited himself to legal and political labors. but has responded to a popular mans demands in the way of patriotic ora tions and public addresses. Many of these have been published both in the current press and in pamphlet form.
