Melton, Jackson, Robert R. Bellamy, Drugarist, Wil mington. Also at the leading drug store in all North Carolina towns. of the convention was the closing ses sion, which was observed as Historical Evening. More than 130 delegates were in attendance at this session. - Historical evening this year -was un der the direction of Miss Georgia Hicks, of Falson, .State .Historian, who was presented by Mrs. Eugene Little, retire ing president. The exercises were ex tremely interesting and the evehirig was enjoyed very much. "At the clos of the exercises Mrs. J. F. Thomson, president of Gastonia chapter, present ed Miss Hicks with a silver fountain pen as a slight token of the Division's love and appreciation of the great work in raising North Carolina from the lowest historical place among the divisions to one of the very highest. Prior to the address Messrs. Fred Wetsell, " Lacy Adams, Bryce Howell and Flynn Wolg sang "Tenting To night," and as an encore sang "Sing Me a Song of the Sunny South.";. Miss Ruth Mason next delighted the audience by a solo, "Ho for Carolina," and gave as an encore "In Ole Vlrgin ny." The presentation of a portrait of Mrs. W. M. Parsley, founder of the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was made by Mrs. W. M. Creasy, State re cording secretary, and chairman of the Mrs. Parsley Portrait committee. Mrs, ,Creasy paid the following tribute to Mrs.- Parsley: "There is one name that stands out prominent among the North Carolina United Daughters of the Confederacy One woman whom we all delight .to honor, and to whom we yield love and unfaltering devotion, our division founder and Mother. "She It was, who as a young mother, saw her lover husband snatched from the family circle by the all devouring forces of cruel war, and at last when it seemed she might nope for his re turn, heard that the Master had called her hero up higher. "Although oppressed by sorrow and the grim fight with life, she unfalter ingly took up its burdens and taught her babes life's truest and best les sons. "No matter what her task she never turned a deaf ear to the distress of the vneedy and those who had fought beneath' the Stars and Bars. She was always first among those who minis tered unto and cheered on the weary and heartsore men who had followed Lee. "When she read of the organization of our great order the cause appealed to her noble heart and she persuaded the Memorial Association of her native town to form the third Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy. Later, when the cause had spread she or ganized the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy.' "From that day to this she has ever stood our friend and adviser, ready to work for the cause In any way or ca pacity, so far as her health has per mitted. She has been to us a mother indeed, ever willing to listen, condone, advise and assist in our endeavors to carry out the great work we have un dertaken. ' "One thing' in which we are. deeply interested and. would never have reach ed successful conclusion but for our organization is the Confederate Wo men's Home. There women, who dur ing the awful days of '61-65 Buffered and endured all for the cause they knew to be right, are today rounding out the span of life In comfort , and peace. This is the result of the work of our U. D. C, and we feel that the home can not be complete until upon its walls is placed a . portrait of our founder Mother, and patron " saint, Mrs. W. M. Parsley. ' "To you, Madame President, we -give this portrait of Mrs. Parsley to be placed in the Home. We feel that all who look upon it will be imbued with a desire to become as she, and wijl be the better because of the gentle, unselfish, and devoted spirit which. so surrounds her that even the pictured face radiates peace. "In life Mrs. Parsley has been and is one of God's heroines to whom some hard task or toilsome path in the wil derness was for a time assigned. In the higher life perchance in one of the many mansions, she shall sit down amongst the nobles at the eternal feast, and in the gladness of that day she shall realize and -" 'Smile to think God's greatness flow ed around, our incompleteness. Round our restlessness, His rest'." The portrait was unveiled by. Mrs.. F, L. Huggins and Mrs. W. L. Beary, re spectively vice president and ex-vice president of. Cape Fear - Chapter, the first chapter organized by Mrs. Pars ley. The portrait was accepted by Mrs. Eugene Little who spoke of Mrs. Pars ley's great work and In turn grace fully presented the portrait to Mrs. Hunter Smith, chairman of the North Carolina Confederate Women's Home. Mrs. Smith in accepting spoke of the great love for Mrs. Parsely and what a pleasure the inmates of the Home would derive from the picture. At this time Mrs. Marshall Williams, of Fal son, was introduced as the painter of the portrait of Mrs. Parsley. At this point the recording secretary read a telegram from Mrs. Parsley ex pressing her love and deep interest In the Daughters as well as her apprecia tion of their thought of love. Mrs. H. B. Moore sweetly rendered a solo, "Ashes of RoseSj" the words of which were written by Mrs. .T. -M. Brockman, of this city. Miss. Martha Morrow presided at the piano. The Ricks banner, which was pre sented by little Miss McGee, of Rocky Mount, to the convention on behalf-of the Junior Bethel Heroes Chapter, was accepted. by Mrs. J. D. Thrash, newly elected president. This banner - is to be taken to Dallas, Texas, and present- ed to the general order and awarded to the division making the best rec ord each year. . The wording on the Ricks banner, is as follows: "The Robert H. Ricks Ban ner, Children of the Confederacy,' 1916. In Memoriam, Bethel Heroes (U. D.' C.) Children of the Confederacy. - Given by the Junior Bethel Heroes Chapter, C. of C., Rockj- Mcfuit, N. C."

'Fore, Of "Charlotte, on "The Battle of ? Fort Fisher." Mrs. Fore, the newly-elected State Historian,- by her able treatment of this difficult subject, amply demon strated that Miss Hicks mantle had fallen on worthy shoulders Wilming ton' as well as Charlotte feels "Justly proud of Mrs. Fore's ability, for she is a native of this city and-has two- sii ters, Mrs. Roger Moore and Mrs. .Wil son, living liere. l"'"''' At the close of the exercises beauti ful flowrV were presented to the. retir ing, president, Mrs. Eugene Little.: A double Quartette of mixed voices ren dered several selections at the close of the exercises, the last one being "Dixie."

POLICE HAVC VISITOR. Belgian Hare Loses Way and Seeks Refnge at Headquarters. Chief of Police Williams was seated in his private office yesterday morning wrapped in thought. There was a tap on the floor and the Chief turned, thinking that the station, cat had In vaded his sanctum. Ho looked once, twice, and then began to wonder if he was awake. There on the floor squatting on his haunches was a big Belgian hare, his, ears flattened appealingly, and his funny whiskers wriggling, as if he desired to ask some question. The Chief arose, and Bunny, taking his cue, hopped just ahead of him back into the-main office. Here he entered the captain's office and dropped down in a corner, with his ears still backed as if desirous of aid. Finally he hop ped up on the table and began to look ovei the various documents thereon. At last he shook his head sadly and jumped to the floor and lay down to doze. It was evident that his master was .a law-abiding citizen, for his name did not appear on the blotter. Unfortunately, the city directory was closed and the task of opening It proved too much for Mr. Hare, so ho gave up the idea of finding his' master's- address, and resignedly stretched himself In a corner. When the night-shift had come on duty, Mr. J. M: Branch's little son-came along and gave a cry of joy. There was his lost; bunny. . fuddling '. his. pet under his arm he went gleefully home ward, while Bunny wriggled his: whis kers to the "officers, thanking them for their hospitality, and wishing them a pleasant good.-night. - CAROLINA BEACH SCHOOL.
