had undertaken. He expressed to the men,
bers of the committee his high appreciation
of the valuable assistance rendered him in
the selection of trained female nurses, and
factory. He said that the demand for nurses
was then about over, and thought 1T best
for the D. A. r. to discontinue their labors,
and he would make arrangements for the
selection of nurses through other channels.
Surgeon General Van Reypen of the navy
expressed similar sentiments.
In the report of the surgeon general of the
army to the Secretary of War, made No

The daughters also sent out what they
called war circular" to every member of
the national society, D. A. r., in which they
requested the members, individually and
collectively, to get busy raising funds and
preparing for emergencies.

Miss Mary Desha, Mrs. Francis S. Nash:
treasurer, Mrs. Amos G. Draper. This COM
mittee proceeded to promulgate its direc-
tons to the ID. A. r. throughout the coun-
try, and very speedily had fine organiza-
ton and everybody at work. While the
members were raising funds to buy hospital
supplies and making hospital clothing, they
were also securing the country for trained
nurses and hospital assistants. These nurses
and assistants had to be vouched for by in
dividual members of the d. A. r. with re-
spect to their good character, trustworthi-
ness and general ability.
Work at headquarters now began in ear

and of the navy turned over to the d. A. r.
hospital corps the applications received
from nurses, the number of which in the
course of the summer approximated 4,G00.

served in the war of 1861 Some appealed

Capt. W. M. wOrr.II Dead.

Many old friends in Columbus
learned with profound sorrow
of the death of Capt. VIM. O.
Worrell, which occurred at his
home in Vicksburg last Thurs
day morning suddenly He had
been in declining health for a
long time and a sudden attack of
the heart trouble eliminated IN
his death.
It's pleasing for his old friends
in this city in rejecting upon
his life and character TO know
that in his new home the fine
qualities which distinguished
him as a citizen and as man
were recognized and he took a
high position in all the relations
of life. He was one of the best
of men. a fine soldier, a loyal
Fl lend. devoted parent and an
honorable citizen and in his de
mise many in this commun ity
are sorely grieved.
