 COMMITTEE VISITS SOLDIERS
 HOME HOSPITAL. On Friday the committee from the Alabama Division u. D. C., held the I quarterly meeting in the rest room in | the hospital at Mountain Creek. when \ all of the members Of the committee were present excepting Miss Addie 1 Beaunont of Union Springs, who is I Ill and wifose ai,se:ice on that account was deplorcd. Previous to the meet l ing the members of the committee had i inspected the hospital end had found everything there in a most satisfae- tory condition. The efficiency of the ! t..~. .frs.. "A A-- kt t~~s l portant position she holds wac evident | in the beautiful condition found in ev- ! cry department. Everything is attrac- l tive In the spick and spang cleanliness and in the home like an air that per- l vades all. The excellent management that is used in Keeping The acairs of \ this most important building of the Old Soldiers Hornc going was very gratifying to the members of the Ala baina Division Committee IT.. T. c. whose duty is to investigate conditions and needs there and reporot to the as- ]! sociation.
 There are now seven patients in the | sick ward and two who are convalesc- l ing. Shree by order of the authorities I at the Home were deeiared>well and 1 were dismissed from the hospital These l seemed to regard the dismissal in the ] light of hanishment and not as would l be expected as q boon indicating re- l stor sd health One. Dr. Fort of New I Orleans, expressed his chagrin at his fate hy leaving tne Home altogether. He was not willing to return to the cottages after having enjoyed the com forts and even hIxuries provided by the Alabama Daughters of the Confed- | eracy at the Hospital. Another il-
 sisted that he had not recovered from his affliction--that of having lost leg II nthe war, and he with wonderful reasoning power forcefully argued his case. However, not to the satisfaction
 of tho powers that be at the Soldiers Home so he had to accept his dismissal
 from the hospital.
 Tho youngest Confederate soldier of the State, Mr. Charles Hay is night l nurse at the hospital, He entered the
 army at the age of eleven years and is still performing the services of n soldier in battling for the lives of his
 older comrades against the invading
 of sickness.
 One death was reported at this meet 1 tug the first that has occurred since
 the 1T. T. C. took charge of the hos pital. It was that of Nfr. lew of Mo- bile. and In the report of his death l Miss Brown said. "Onc morning tho
 nurse had fixed him all clean and comfortable for the day and had rlac- cd him in nh easy chair out on the ve- I ras.0a beneath the shade of tbe oak trees that spread shcltering branches | there. All ahent him were his fellow
 veterans and on his table near were
 the daily papers with which he was l wont to entertain himself. No one I know that the end was near no one knew when lite and death met.s But when one of his comrades went over
 to speak to him he found him resting | in the last long slsep-his battles, the I lost and the won-aii were over.". 1 Among .he good things done at the I hospital by the L. r. C. Is the screen l ing of the kitchen and dining room by the members of the Sophie BiDb I Chapter of Montgomery. Soon the l members of the Pelham, chapter of Birmingham will screen the Sick ward. Two hundred pounds of icc are sent | by the U. D. c. each week to add to I the comfort. as are also such dainties as the sick need.
 | The building of monuments to per- 1 petuate nations history please the pride of unborn citizens Is a noble work. but the soothing of the last day < | of the lives of the now old men who | in young ard vigorous manhood helped | to make that history is too noble a one, | It is doing good for goods sake, good whien dies with the beneficiary who can
 never enjoy the monument builded to
