MAY BE THE LAST
REITNION.

Throughout the south much inter-
est is now centering in the Confeder-
ate reunion in Birmingham, Ala,
May II, 10 and 10. The presence
of the many matrons Of honor, spon-
sors and maids and chaperones will
contribute much to the pleasures and
festivity of the reunion week. An ex-
change from Georgia has the follow
ing item relative to the reunion:
Each year the sponsors and maids
of honor become more and more nu-
merous, and the veterans fewer, and
perhaps has it not come to mean that
the social side almost overshadows
the patriotic in these annual reun-
ions? AS the veterans are so reduced
in number, cut down by the sword Of
Father Time, resolution is to be
introduced at this reunion to make
this one the last. These events must
indeed be great PLEASURE and also
very sad and solemn occasions for il
brings back to mind the hard days OF
the war, from which the south is Sc
wonderfully recuperating.

crate Memorial Association will meet
in Birmingham at the same time"

CASTLES.

(Some day the readers Of this
paper may be fortunate in SSnding
a book Of verse by G. B. Roth. In
the meantime, the readers of The
Journal will read with pleasure in
their beauty, these two bits of verse
from the pen of the editor of the
Lynn Haven Tribune, G. B. Roth, one
of the women of Florida who is max
ing good in the newspaper field, yet
finds time to write verse of real
merit.
And often comes In the silence
At dawn or in twilight glow,
When all the eird-flung shadows
Bring wraiths of the long ago.
There is always throb of heartache
And ever tinge of pain,
To one who has builded castles
And seen them destroyed again.
So all that is left is forgetting,
There isn't one musical strain
In twilight or dawn or birdsong
When a dreamer suffers pain.
And so do we build out castles
In sunshine or autumn's rain,
Only to see the dream-things
Made and destroyed again.
Qciet roads and a lowered by-way,
Far from the busy haunts of men
Sunshine, and then the deep'ning
shadow
Lies on the gold and green again
Pines, and blur Of 1.-THE young
grasses
Dark, still pools in a western glow
Spread of wings and the last bird
passes
A cypress swamp, as the sun dips
low.
Dusk and the sweep of wood and
hollow
Is etched in gray, no stars appear;
Twilight gone and the night to follow
But the end of the lorIs, long road
draws near.

for the purpose of allowing mem
Der of the convention to withdraw
a milton offered and adopted in open
convention, with full opportunity for
discussion, is most unwise. This APP
plies to chapter also.
Other decisions were of less impor-
lance already covered by the contitu-
ton and can wait for minutes.
Third, recommendations of presi-
dent adopted:
a-That the proper authorities of
the state be petitioned to have all
students of state schools and colleges
give observance to the state Memoir
ial Day.
b-That chapter No. 686, ]. J. Fin
ley, be declared no longer a member
of the Florida division, for reasons
given to convention, and that the
president general be requested. to call
in and cancel the charter of same.
c-That each chapter of the Flor
ida division shall pay into the state
treasury on or before March 1 the
sum of 81 for each and every member
on its roll, this to be in addition to
it's constitutional, state and general
per capita, and that no pledges of
any kind for the work be asked in
conventions, but that appropriations
be made from the reserve treasury
fund for the work undertaken by the
division, giving preference to the
Ceolr Memorial fund and the educa-
ton fund in the order named and
next to necessary division expenses
not covered by the dues, then to mon
uments and other U. D. c. work.
These recommendations passed, the
first unanimously, the two others by
a vote of SO to Is, but two chapters
voting negatively. Stonewall was out
of the hall temporarily and asks to
be recorded as in favor of the can
collation. of charter of chapter No.
685, opinion on the budget system of
finance unexpressed. There were but
ITO votes in convention when these
recon mendations came up. The pres
ident and president-elect asked to be
excused from voting, it being the
measure I'll O11G bO0NAAAl4S Lie cAtAAlAlA~
istration of the other. The president
elect was also the only representa-
tive of her chapter present and asked
to be excused from voting for that
reason. This took out nine votes,
Stonewall's three were out; total
number cast, ninety-eight.
In the opinion of many business
men present and of the division mem
bers this is the most important meas
ure carried in the division for years.
TIE division income has never since
its early years been sufficient for its
necessary work and expenses.
The president relinquished the chair
in this discussion and explained and
urged the measure because, she said,
| she could not leave her successor to
struggle with the burdens she had
borne. Some other recommendations
were also adopted.
A vote of affectionate and sorrow
full thanks was given to the retiring
president. who positively declined re-
election against the nomination of her
friend and vice president, Mrs. Nc
/ Creary.
Commencing your new president
and her officers to the same loyal sup
port you have given to me and with
unfalter1ng love and good wishes for
the work and for my loyal Daugh-
tiers.
