One of our brightest and best is not with us, nor over will be moro. In His infinite wisdom, CJod has oalled , from this earthly homo to the life bo yond, Mis. Anna Calhoun Ancrum. She made brighter and happier every mooting that she graced. Her cherry presence is gone, her wise counsel is hoard no more. Her kindly sympathy and gracious help is but a sweet and beautiful memory. She was a loyal Daughter of the Confederacy. Patri otism burned liko a holy tire on the altar of her h,oart, and to Southern heroes she gave a loyalty and lovu passing all others. Her fluent pen was was ever used as a promoter of tho United Daughters of tho Confederacy and with a wealth of all that could minister to tho beautiful growth of sense and intellect, through clime, scene and influence, it awakened a keen appreciation of Southern Wo manhood as crystallized in this, ouo of her noblest daughters. Her most notable characteristic was loyalty to the traditions of the old ^outh and this loyalty was equally strong to ward the Daughters of the Confed eracy. These were emphasized in her training and found full fruition in her life. Intellect and talent crowned her like a queen and we of her chapter are indeed bereft without her guiding influence.
