IL Is with exceeding great regret
that the editors have to announce to
the Alabama Division Of U. ID. C. 1
that this Is the last appearance" of
the column in The Montgomery
Advertiser. The management OF the
paper is preparing to make some
changes in the Sunday issue and. as
the form OF a portion Of the paper will
be completely changed the space will
be more circumscribed. therefore there
will be no room for U. d. c.. column.
The board of editors of the Alabama
Division have not completed their
plans for this change. as yet. ana
therefore cannot announce anything
definite In this issue.

press Its deep sense of obligation TO
The Advertiser for the many courte-
sizes experienced at the hands of all its
management. The space has been
most periodically at the demand of
the U. D. c.. the gallant Confederate
veteran. through whose hands the

and his vast experience. No matter
where the column may roam. his kind
" courtesy and never-failing patience
will be missed! May the passing
years but draw this bond of kindii-
ness moro tightly about our hearts!
When the child grows up and is
thrust by exigencies of life. out into
new fields and new experiences. the
scradie-room" never ceases to be dear
to him: so II is with tho column.
Graded IN the bosom of the OLD Adver-
tiser here in the Cradle of the Con-
federacy. II feels the stir OF the pulse
that must ever come from facing I'M
tried conditions.
The column makes every success to
the new venture. and may the two
ever be friends as they have been in
the past; vale!

the wellknown poet of Huntsville,

previous issue We published an ex-
quisite poem. 1.-THE Southern Cross"
by this author.
Arlington and Lee.
AS the stars are to the sky,
And Moonbeams to the crest of the
sea,
So is the fame of Arlington
To the name and fame of Lee.
And now, where the dead lie sleeping
Heart notes. In a low. mellow key.
Are waited by the spirits intoning,
ArIington's Requiem for Lee.
