Everyone is accustomed to hear men, toned 'the wonderful progress of med icine." but this is usually supposed to mean only the treatment of disease in many. Few laynen are aware that his progress has been equal in all branches of the medical science and that there has been as much improvement in tue methods of treating and curing the dis eases of that indispensable assistant of man. the house. as in the others. Not withstanding the advent of the auto mobile, and the prediction then made that the horse would soon And himself out of job and shortly become ex- tinct. they are more valuable and scarce today than ever before, and, the necessity for preserving their health greater.
 Montgomery can boast of one of the most competent men in the country in this profession. in the person of W. B. Fleming. V. NJ D.
 Dr. Fleming, though young man, has had the very best training and ex- perience fin veterinary athology and surgery that the universities of this country afford. He has completed the entire three years course of study in the University of Pennsylvania, which is recognized as the most thorough and complete in America. and which deals with this subject even to the mln- utest detail in the most scientific and up- to date manner.
 Df. Fleming has been practicing in Montgomery only about fifteen months, but during even that short time has built up splendid practice and repu- tation. and has formed a strilsingly large circle of friends and admirers in both 6 business and personal way. When he first began practicing in Montgomery. he was located at No. 2oe N. Court Street. but so rapid was the increase of his practice that in about one years time he was forced to have building at 12- and 14 Washington Street remodelled to his own plans to accommodate it. As this building was practically rebuilt to suit his purposes. it carries out all the latest ideas and most Fhyglenic accommodations for sick horses, mules and dogs Anyone familiar with the requirements of a frst-class hospital for animals can rec ognize at glance the splendid con- veniences, and accommodations of the one pr. Fleming maintains.

Dixie ChRpter U. D. C., Montgomery.
 On Monday afternoon, December 3, the Dixie Chapter met with It's Vice. President, Miss Arlington. The Chap ter gladly welcomed it's President, Mrs. Gayle, who had been absent from the November meeting and regretted the continued absence of It's Secretary, Mrs. Thomas M. Gwen. After the minutes had been read and approved, the unfinished business was discussed. Then the treasurer. Mrs. Warren Dent showed by her report the excellent financial condition of the Chapter, ev- cry obligation had been fully dis l charged, a liberal contribution made 1 both to the Soldiers Home and the Shl- | loh monument, yet a comfortable sum remained in the treasury.
 Miss Arlington, delegate to the Gulf port Convention, gave an interesting account of that meeting, reading to the Chapter portions of Mrs. Thompson's s letter on that subject. Mrs. Gayle, the President, enthusiastically described visit to the Soldiers Home at Beauvoir Miss. This home contains eighty old soldiers and their wives who are found very useful in nursing their husbands. This separation of husband and wife has been the only disadvantage at the Alabama Home. 1t seems very pathetic for the old couples, who have spent so many years side by side to be parted when the end of the pilgrimage cannot be far away. It was moved and sec onded that the Dixie Chapter take some action towards petitioning the eXecu- tive board Of the Mountain Creek Home to permit the wives of the veterans to live in the Soldiers Home. Mississippi gives most lberally to the Home at Beauvoir. The State appropriates ST. GOO to the hospital alone. Mrs. Gayle called especial attention to the fact that the Confederate Home at Beauvoir was regularly visited by the ministers of the little town ot Biloxi, some go week. ly, others monthly. It is a great re- gret to this Chapter that the ministers of Montgomery and other parts of the State of Alabama are not interested in the spiritual welfare of those helpless men. Their bodies are made comfort able, their souls neglected. for these Confederate soldiers, In their old age live and are without the consolation of religion At our very door lies this field of missionary work, the harvest waits but no laborers so to gather these immortal souls unto the Lord.
