 flags after they had been held as trophies of war, and Governor Harmon most cor dially assented to it. This has aroused much interest in Ohio and Alabama as well, and it is certain to more thoroughly cement the cordial relationship between the people of the tive states.
 A friendly correspondence has passed between Commander Vapght of the Egg bert Jones camp of Confederate Veterans and John A. Pitts and Captain Shoe maker relative to the entertainment of the Ohioans while in Huntsville. MT. Pitts claimed that the party would be large, and the acceptance of their rendered hos pitality would be an imposition on good nature. The reply has gone back from Egbert Jones camp that the declination cannot be accepted, and that while here the Ohio veterans will be the honored guests of the Confederate Vet erans and the Daughters of the Con- federacy.
 The municipal government of Huntsville and the Business Mems club are making arrangements to do honor to the vis- itors. A cordial invitation has been ex- tended Governor Harmon to come also, but no reply has been received yet

j Huntsville, May 1.-(Special.( .(-The an- nual meeting of the Alabama division Of the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy. which will be held in Huntsville May 11-13 will be made notable by the return of two Confederate flags that were @ captured by the Ohio troops in a raid near Selma during the latter days of the Civil War. The two flags will be brought back to Alabama by John A. Pitts, who was a private soldier of the Fourth Ohio cavalry. and Capt. William W. Shoemaker of the same command. They will come as the representatives of the state of Ohio and they, with a squad . of old comrades of the gallant Fourth, will be the guests of the Egbert J. Jones camp of Confederate veterans.
 Arrangements have been made to give the visiting Ohio veterans a most cordial welcome. They will be feted and made much of. The presentation of flags will take place in the Ell1s theatre in Hunts vile on the night of May 12 and the ad- dress of the occasion will be made by H. S. D. Mallory of Selma. Private Pitts and Captain Shoemaker will make formal presentation of the flags and the speeches of acceptance will be made by Gov. B. B. Conner and Mrs. Charles G. Brown, president of the Alabama division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. A Confederate choir will furnish music.

WALLACE IS PLEASED.
Writes About Proposed Monument to
 Audubon.

Montgomery, May 1.-CSpecial) )-John H. Wallace, Jr, state game and fish commissioner, is greatly pleased over the movement to erect monument to John James Audubon, in New Orleans He is sending his congratulations to that city, where beautiful slab is being prepared. Mir Wallace says:
 "The movement looking to the erection of a suitable monument 10 the memory of John James Audubon, the worlds great est naturalist and bird lover, Is most commendable. Audubon was born in Lou isana but was educated in France and at the age of IS years returned to America. He always had a passionate love for this country. He made frequent efforts to succeed in business but could not overcome the unsuitable penchant that dominated his life to yield to the per sistent call of the woods, where his pas sion drew him, in close communion with

wild life and near to natures great puls-

wild life and near to natures great puls- ing heart
 Audubon always felt shy in the pres ence of strangers; he was a man habit uated to wander alone, his thoughts in- tent on the study of nature His pie lures of the birds of this continent are the most famous in the world. It was he that first discovered the economic value of birds and their relation to agriculture. He has done much to impress upon the minds of the people the fact that birds constitute potential factors in holding in check those forces that are hostile to the crops by destroying noxious weed seeds and injurious insects the chief antago- nists with which the husbandman has to contend.
 Audubon should be remembered in some substantial way by having erected to his memory monument which, in suitable panegyric, should be inscribed the discoveries made by him which have resulted in such blessing to humanity"
