During the few years he att tended West Point he was forming those splendid qualities which made up his character. Whether drilling on the campus or applying himself to study. hn was preparing himself for his life work. Graduating in 1859, he was appointed lieutenant of cavalry in the army of the United States and assigned to duty at Cambridge. Pa.

 Shiloh was his initiation. He was

He retreated with Reauregard to Corinth and soon was transferred to the cavalry and began his glorious record which even in the days of Chtvalry was not surpassed. He took part in a number of battles un- der Bragg.

What is to be done if Chapters fail to send these applica- tions." "If members come tn us from other States in which registration is not obligatory, and a demit or transfer admits them to membership in Ala bama, how can they be registered q" These questions are continually being asked of us and your attention is called to the fact that many members and a number of Chapters in our Di- vision have not sent in their appli- cations for registration.
 When it is impossible to secure all applications of members, the Chapters should send all available applications and use every effort to secure those of members in good standing Many Chapters are to be congratulated upon their precaution by providing two pa pers to applicants, one to be kept, and the other sent to the Registrar You are again reminded that the time Is short, the May convention will soon be ito date" and you should have not only compiled with your duty, and I speak to members and Chapter Presi- dents, but encouraged the work of the Registrar, who has been faithful to serve you by sending every applica- tion of your Chapter members, which have in former years and to date been hled with you. Should irregularities have crept in and neglect to secure these papers been the cause of your delinquency in sending so far, you are now urged to send all you have on hand and report conditions at the convention.

But the enthu- siasm and interest manifested on the occasion were so gratifying to the Daughters of Montgomery that we feel as if we want to join hands with ou4 sisters all over the State in general gratulat!on that "Old times here are Hot forgotten"

 Last spring the Historian of Ala bama Division offered @ book to the members of the Mobile Bay Chapter, Children of the Confederacy. who would write the best sketch of Gen, Joseph Wheeler. Several very fine papers were the result of the offer. Judges were selected from Mobile Chapter. The book, "A Captured Santa Claus" was awarded to Gladys Ken nedy.
 Thinking it may act as stimulus to other children's chapters, some of the sketches are published in this issue. The Historian announces 1t will give her much pleasure to pre- sent book for the best essay on the Battle of Chickamauga" to a mem- Der of any children's chapter.
