The first award was made to Mir. Herbert T.

Barbour County Chapter.


 The Barbour County Chapter helJ its March meeting on the first Friday at the home of Miss Emmie Stewart. Alter the usual opening exercise, a re- port was heard from the committee on buying headstones for the unmarked graves of Veterans. They reported the order given. and hoped to have them In place by Memorial Day. The buying and placing of these headstones Is the special work of the chapter this year. Our chapter has had several new names added recently to the roll. among them Is that of Mrs. Mollie Shorter Willingham, only daughter of John CHI Shorter, one of Alabama's s war governors. Barbour County Chap ter is indeed proud to claim her as member. The president. Mrs. Brown. appointed a committee to select an orator for Memorial Day, Mrs Brown. chairman; Mrs. Mckenzie. Mrs Pruden, Mrs. Mcdowell. ST. At the conclusion of the business Mrs. Brown, as his- torian. read from her scrap book inter- esting items from newspaper publish ed here In 1881. These items were mostly of local events. and so were especially interesting. as many of the older members could recall when each one took place. Mrs. Brown will con tinue these readings at each meeting during the year. Miss Bessie McTyer read an amusing story. Hon. Stone. wall Jackson won the Last Confederate Victory" After the program, Miss Stewart and Misses McTyer, who were joint hostesses. served dainty refresh ments to the members. and a most pleasant meetings came to an end The April meeting will be with Mrs Mcdowell, Sr.. and Miss Hoole.

 with Mrs. Robinson, Historian General of the U. D. C.. in her suggestion that
 the scholarship of that order be with
 drawn from the Columbia University,
 was heartily endorsed. Mrs. Simon Hertz, director of Win | nie Davis chapter. Children of Con- federacy. requested that her resigna-

1t stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in a few days.
While the application of poslam
