R. A. Moseley, the new inspector of Internal Revenue --- the district of Alabama – taken charge of the office – Montgomery. …………. --------- AN APPEAL TO VETERANS – A Convention to be Held During the State Fair Birmingham, Sept. 5 – The Ex-Confederates of Alabama; The Association of Confederate Soldiers of Jefferson County at its August meeting unanimously adopted a resolution instructing me to issue a circular letter urging ex- confederates in other counties to from a local association, with a view of perfecting a state organization for the purpose of ministering to the wants of our comrades and their widows and children. In compliance with this resolution I appeal to the old soldiers to meet in their several counties and perfect an organization. No citizen of this state or county can recall the heroic achievements of the volunteer soldiers of Alabama during the War Between the States without admiring the heroism they displayed on every field, the sacrifices they cheerfully made, and their manhood in defeat. Ragged and foot-sore, badly equipped and hungry, they encountered without dismay superior numbers of well fed and well-equipped troops, and in every instance they so acquitted themselves as to glorify the American named. Many of our comrades fell it hat great struggle; many received wounds that disable them from earning a livelihood. Nearly all of the survivors were left destitute. The state has been unable to grant more than a pittance to a few. We do not look to the general government for air, but must ourselves contribute to the pensioning of our then adversaries. The time has come when many of us are able, and it is our duty, as it should be our pleasure, to see that no worthy comrade nor his widow or child should suffer while we have rations to share with them. It is the purpose of the veteran’s association of Jefferson county to co-operate with all other formed in the state in providing a home, or a fund, as may be through best, so that proper relief can be extended and in their name, and at their request cordially invite every county association to send delegates to a convention to be held here during the state fair for the purpose of organizing a state association. These delegates will meet here many of their old comrades and have a cordial welcome. It is well to erect monuments commemorative of the virtues and the bravery of our fallen heroes, but so long as one old soldier is suffering for bread, or a single child of a veteran is in want, those monuments are eternal witnesses to heaven that we have at least left undone those things that we should have done. Jos. F. Johnson, President Confederate Veterans’ Association, Jefferson County. AROUND ALABAMA – Latest Items of News Gathers From Our Exchanges Good crops are reported in Chambers County.
