 The death of Mrs. F. s. Wood of Troy, which occurred suddenly on We'd
 nesday was a shock to her many friends in this city, and throughout the state the announcement of her death was received with great sorrow. The telegram containing the sad news was received from Mir. Wood by Mrs.
 J. A. Rountree. It was read at the meeting of Pelham chapter, Daughters
 of the Confederacy. and the members of the chapter Immediately passed suitable resolutions and ordered floral
 design sent to Troy, sRhere the inter-
 ment will take place.
 Mrs. Wood was president of the Ala bama division, Daughters of the Con. federacy, for two years. Her adminis- tration was not only marked with sue cess as regards the work undertaken by this body of loyal and devoted wom- en- but it was a brilliant admnistra-
 tion in many ways.
 She retired after two years of active ! service, widely beloved, and with the l satisfaction of having performed ev- cry duty of her honored position, and of fulfilling to the entire satisfaction of every member of the division ths
 many obligations resting upon the | shoulders of their leader.
 Mrs. Wood had frequently visited Bir- mingham, the guest of Mrs. J. A. Roun- tree. She expected to attend the forth coming meeting of the Alabama di-
 vision in this city in May, and only a few days before her death she had writ ten Mrs Rountree letter full of en- thusiasm about the May convention. and expressing her anticipation in being present.
 At the meeting of the Alabama fed eration in Troy last autumn, Mrs Wood took an active part in the entertain ment of the many distinguished wom. on, the duties of hostess falling to her on several occasions, and the largest reception of the week being given at her handsome house there. Many Bir- ! n1ingham women had the pleasure or meeting her at that time. But it is | as member of the Daughters of the Confederaey, as their distinguished and | able leader, that the name of Mrs. l Wood will long be honored in this | state. Her death removes loyal Daughter, and one of Alabama's most | accomplished women.
 Preceding the wedding of Miss Caro- | line Westmoreland of Atlanta and pr. ] c. E. Bowman, Jr., of Birmingham, | which took place oa Wednesday eve- | ming at the h ome of the bride in Att lanta. there were several events in I compliment to them. The following ex- 1 tracts are taken from the several At | lanta papers: | An occasion of rare enjoyment was | the musical at which MT. and Mrs. | Oscar Pappenheimer entertained last | de Leon avenue.
 l The artistic programmes bore a por- | trait of Miss Caroline sWestmoreland | in flowing celebration' of whose we'd ding to pr. Charles E. Bowman, Jr.,
 which takes place tonight, the music lportrait were the lines:
 % my loves like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune" and in introducing the programme was the quotation, If music be the food of love, play on." It closed with Love took up the harp of life and smote on all the chords with might" tirely of love songs and wedding music.
 Miss Westmoreland, who is herself a singer and musician of thorough at tainment, has been, since her return
 from college, one of the most frequent
 recipients of the hospitality of MT. and Mrs. Pappenheimer at their de- lightful Monday evenings" when they
 entertain every week artists and art lovers at these informal at homes, and she has been one of the most admired contributors to the weekly programmes. Those invited to take part in last nights music and those invited to hear 1t were the artists with whom Mss Westmoreand has most frequently played and the art lovers with whom she has more often enjoyed the music of other people. The company, then was a most congenial one, and the beautiful music room has seldom run5
 with sweeter or more heartfelt music.
