June of the same year this building was the literal heart of the south. Then the capital was transferred to Richmond and the first Whire House. it's political and social career ended, sought glory in the pages of history
 .FLOWERY KINGDOM"
 In her memoirs Mrs. Jefferson Davis referred to the White House in this way: The house chosen for us was a gentle mens residence, roonfy enough for our purposes, en the corner of a street and looking toward the state capitol There were many charming people there, who were all intent on kind service to us. Our memory of Montgomery was one of affectionate, welcome and if we should have judged by the hampers of blossoms poured out before us it was flowery kingdom"
 After few weeks in Montgomery, Mrs Davis returned to Mississippi for a visit and her return by steamer (Mont- gomery has not had a passenger steamer on her river in many many months) is described in Montgomery newspaper of 1861 as follows: As the steamer King. on which the accomplished lady was q passenger. neared the city a sa- lute of seven guns was fired by the boat, She, with the remainder of the family, stopped at the White House on the cor ner of Bibb And Washington streets.i'
 The. First White House of the Confed- eracy will be preserved by the Memorial association as nearly as possible like it was during the time it was the center of Southern interest. One room will con tain the furniture used by President Davis d1rng the time he was head of the Confederate States. This bedroom set for many years was exhibition in a room in-zthe Alabama capitol

] Montgomery, January s.-(SpecialI- For all time the first White House of
 fhe Confederacy, about which much southern history has been constructed since 1861, will stand as a monument to
 the cause. for which Southern men gave
 their lives in the conflict between the ! American states
 l Alabama now is moving this hostoric
 structure from It's old location on Bibb and Moltlton to a more secluded section
 near the state building where it will be far removed from the sound of the auto
 mobile mechanics hammer and from the sordid things of business Within one
 month it will be dedicated to southern
 CTS and southern history and will be
 opened to the public with standing in- 1 vitation to all to visit the heart of the . Confederate States of America and view the place where 8 goverenment was or ganized which stood the attacks of an older nation through four years of bitter fighting.
 The removal of the building to a site purchased by the state brings to an end an effort started by the first White House association many years ago. Leg islature after legislature was appealed to for assistance in the purchase of the building and a site, hut each refused the request. Finally, an effort was made to obtain funds by private subscription and the devious ways womens associations use. This process was too slow, another 'appeal was made and the legislature of 1919 made appropriation sufficient to purchase the site and move the building
 CREDIT TO- WOMEN
 Throughout the years since the Civil war, no person except the patriotic wom- efrhas given thought to the preservation Of the building If it could tell it's own story there would be pathos which would touch the heartstrings of all southerners Deserted when the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond. the building was converted to other uses. It was used first as a private residence, then it became a boarding house and finally threats to turn 1t into an automobile ga rage were too much and the apeal of the women to the legislature to prevent it's destruction brought the appropriation. z In the day of it's glorN,- the White House had few rivals among Montgom- cry buildings It's natural beauty at tracted many, it's political importance as the center of the new nation at tracted more. It came into it's own a few days after the Confederate States of America became a reality. Jefferson Davis, the first and only President. moved to Montgomery February 17, 1881, and became the head of the governmenet. Early in March his family came and the White House already selected by the committee which had made the plans became the center of political and social activitis of the south.
 In this building the leading men of tine new nation gathered for their confer ences. Plans for the campaifn against the north were made within it's walls Social affairs centered about it. Until
