 Tuscumbia, Ala. March 1s My Dear Co-workers:
 finder same cover with the creden- tials of the delegates to the conven- tfon will be sent to Chapter presidents a circular letter. To the, older chap fers 1t ts not necessary to define the law regulating "representation, but numbers of inquiries comes to us. the supposition being in some instances that presidents are privileged deie- gates. "and a director" from each Chapter, it follows, therefore, the ne- cessity of explanation.
 Mir Morris. contractor for the mon- ,,ment writes the work will be com- nleted at very early date. and we feel justified in setting the date for going to Shiloh for the unvei1ing, May 1th, the day previous to that of the annual conventio May Sth.
 We feel assured that the attendance to the convention will be large, and we hope correspondingly to be composed of earnest, interested workers, for as our duties increase and we reach out for the attainment of great things, which demand consideration and de- cision. more undivided time and need fuI application should be supplied for the accomplishment of the end. It is not enough that we expend energy and means at home, each Chapter by its charter privilege is pledged to enter into and further the objects of the orr der. more particularly of the State Di- vision The promotion of Chapter fn- terests comes first, but of no less im- portance Is the welfare of the Division and Confederate work as adopted by the order.
 Delegates to be entertained should sent their names to Mrs John Delony, Tuscumbia, chairman of the City Chan ters. and have published In the U. D. C. Columns also.
 Chapter presidents arc urged to re- spoud at once to the President, Mrs '. N. thompson, regarding delegates who are positively to take the trip to Shiloh, their names will be taken and tickets reserved for them. The dele gates who do not go to Shiloh will not be expected to arrive until afternoon or night of the 7th.
 Any information to be given later will be by postal, and we will be glad to reply to inquiries after April 1st.
 The commander of the Grand Camp, Confederate Veterans of Virginia, has inaugurated a comhendable plan by which to enthuse and enliven camp meetings, that of giving musical en- tertainments at regular meetings by uniformed choir, The commander states, "as usual in all difficulties he has de- cided to appeal for help from the lac dies'' asking that Chapters cooperate with camps in the organization of Con- federate choirs It is his purpose to make a grand organization of must clans, the different orders to multiply so they can be arranged into regi- ments, brigades. divisions forming a vocal army of Confederate grey" The Virginia choir expects to assemble at the auditorium in October at the Jamestown Exposition and render one of the sweetest. grandest patriotic festivals of song that has ever been given" Hoping to inspire camps throughout the South to adopt this movement, a neatly prepared constitu- tion is submitted, which sets forth the object of the organization. duties of officers, eligibility of members and the style and distribution of the uniforms. The captains. 1t is proposed, shall be ladies, as 1t is expected the majority of the members shall be.
 Truly this Is unique method of pre- serving wartime and Southern songs, and most gratifying and pleasing way to enliven the hearts of the heroes
