I hope to get out a published roster of all the ex-Confederates still living in Missouri. Your prompt attention to this will greatly facilitate the publication of the roster.

HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 9, 1906. Circular No. 2.
To the General Staff and all Officers of Camps :
Comrades-For the purpose of realizing sufficient funds to defray in- creasing expenses of the General Headquarters at New Orleans, our late beloved Commander, General John B. Gordon, as his last official act, recom- mended the issuance of Commissions to all officers of the Confederate Veteran Association upon payment of fees, in addition to the one dollar required by the constitution, as follows:
To Lieutenant-Generals and Major-Generals. $20.00
To Brigadier-Generals 10.00
To Colonels 5.00
To all other officers. 2.50
It is urged and; requested that all Camp and Staff officers will thus comply with this last request of the honored founder of this Association

by forwarding at once to General W. E. Mickle, Adjt .- Gen. U. C. V., at New Orleans, the stated amount and obtain from him, by express, a beau- tiful commission, signed by our Commander-in-Chief, which would be a precious gift for your children.

HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS,
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 21, 1906. Circular No. 3.
To all Ex-Confederate Soldiers and Sailors in Missouri :
Comrades-The "United Confederate Veterans' Association" is strictly a Social, Literary, Historical and Benevolent organization, for the purpose of uniting all ex-Confederate soldiers and sailors with the ties of friend- ship; to encourage the writing of narratives, memoirs, histories of battle, episodes and occurrences of the war between the States from 1861 to 1865; to see that the disabled are cared for; that a helping hand is extended to the needy, and that the Confederate widows and their children are protected and assisted. Discussions of political or religious subjects, or any political action endorsing applicants for political office, is absolutely prohibited by its constitution.
In the State of Missouri the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the ex-Confederates of the State, aided by liberal contributions of ex- Federal soldiers, have established "The Confederate Home" near Hig- ginsville. Mo., to which any Confederate soldier, who has become disabled by reason of his wounds, or the failure of his health, and his inability to support himself, has the right of admission, so that his last days may be spent in comfort and surrounded by those who shared with him the perils and privations of the war of '61 and '65.
In order to be admitted to this "Home" it is necessary that the soldier should be able to establish the fact of his enlistment in the Confederate Army, and his service therein. It is therefore exceedingly important that every Confederate soldier should unite himself with one of the Confederate Camps of the State, so that in case of misfortune the Commander and Adjutant of his Camp can certify to his service and enrollment in the Con- federate Army, and to his worthiness to receive aid at "The Home." In view of these facts, as Commander of the Missouri Division of United Con- federate Veterans, I earnestly request every ex-Confederate soldier and sailor within the State of Missouri to join one of the Camps now organized in this State at once, if not already a member.
It is earnestly hoped that the press of this State will give general publicity to this circular, and editorially call attention to the subject.

HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS. JEFFERSON CITY, MO., Feb. 22, 1906. General Orders No. 3.
I. These Headquarters have been officially advised by General Order No. 38 from General Headquarters, United Confederate Veterans at New Orleans, under date of January 15, 1906, that the 16th Annual Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held in the city of New Orleans 011 April 25th, 26th and 27th, 1906, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, re- spectively.

United Confederate Veterans. of Missouri.
Il. The Major-General Commanding most earnestly urges all Com- manders of Camps and the several Camps in Missouri to strive to have a large attendance from their Camps at the Reunion in New Orleans. The city of New Orleans is geographically situated so as to be easily accessible to a large section of our Federation. "The longing of the gallant remnants of the Confederate armies to meet each other, which each year grows stronger. the peculiar character of the city with its innumerable attractions, its old-time streets, its antique buildings, its immense shipping with the countless craft that float on the bosom of the 'Great River,' the beauty and refinement of its women, the hospitality of its people, ever the most enthusiastic Confederates, the exceedingly low rate made by the railroads, all coupled with the promise of its citizens (and with them promise is performance) that this gathering shall surpass all heretofore held, com- bine to make this meeting a memorable Reunion."
III. Brigade Commanders will promulgate this order, and urge the Camp officers in their respective Brigades to immediately take steps to elect delegates to this Reunion, and to forward to General Wm. E. Mickle, Adjutant-General United Confederate Veterans, at New Orleans, before the first day of April, a copy of the roster of each Camp, and the amount of dues for 1906, per capita, required by the constitution, in order that the names of the several Camps of Missouri may appear upon the general muster-roll and be accredited with proper representation. The Commanders and Adjutants of the several Camps will forward to these Headquarters a duplicate copy of the roster, typewritten, as certified to Gen. Mickle, and remit therewith ten cents per member, in obedience to the resolution adopted at Kansas City at the Reunion October, 1905, to meet the expenses, postage, printing, etc., of these Headquarters. In this connection the Major-General Commanding regrets to note the failure of many of the Camps to send to these Headquarters their rosters, thus delaying the publication of the mem- bership of our organization in this State.
IV. The several Commanders and Adjutants of Camps in this State are requested to notify these Headquarters, as soon as possible, how many veterans of the several Camps will attend the Reunion, in order that the executive committee in charge of the reception may provide hotel or board- ing house accommodations; and how many of the old comrades, if any, will require free lodging and board.
V. Commanders of Camps will please request their several county papers to publish this order. By order of
JAMES B. GANTT, Major-General Commanding. Official : JAS. W. ALLEN, Adjt .- Gen. and Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 5, 1906. General Orders'No. 4.
I. The Major-General Commanding takes pleasure in announcing to the Camps of this Division that he has appointed Miss Helen Chesnut of St. Joseph sponsor and Miss Jewell Weidemeyer of Clinton maid of honor of the Missouri Division for the approaching Reunion at New Orleans, April 25th, 26th and 27th. 1906. These two young ladies are the daughters of two of our Missouri comrades, who volunteered at the commencement of the struggle in 1861, and remained steadfast to our cause until the surrender in 1865.
II. Headquarters of Missouri Division will be temporarily established at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, April 25th. 1906. Personal staff of the Major-General will report promptly for duty. Every effort will be made to render service to the comrades attending the Reunion by furnish- ing information as to meetings, places for lodging, etc.
III. The Brigadier-Generals commanding the Eastern and Western

Brigades, each with his personal staff, will report at headquarters for duty. IV. Each Camp in this Division is earnestly requested to send dele- gates and to have as many of its members attend the Reunion as possible. Commanders and Adjutants are again urged to forward their rosters and per capita tax to Maj .- Gen. Wm. E. Mickle, Adjutant-General, New Orleans. V. Major Henry A. Newman has been named the Missouri member of the Committee on Credentials, to whom all delegates should report at these headquarters upon arrival at New Orleans. Lieut .- Col. D. H. Shields has been selected as member of the Committee on Resolutions.
VI. These headquarters are advised that the several railroads have agreed to a rate of one cent a mile, going from and returning to St. Louis. Same rate is expected from Kansas City, St. Joseph, Carthage, Springfield and other interior points of the State. This appears to be an open rate for all Confederates, their wives, daughters and sons attending the Reunion. By order of JAMES B. GANTT, Major-General Commanding. Official : J.vs. W. ALLEN, Adjt .- Gen. and Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS,
ST. CHARLES HOTEL, NEW ORLEANS, April 25, 1906. Special Orders No. I.
I. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Brigadier-General George P. Gross, Commander of the Western Brigade of the Missouri Division, United Confederate Veterans, Lieut .- Col. Henry M. Withers is hereby assigned to the command of said Brigade, during the Reunion, with temporary rank of Brigadier-General. He will be obeyed and respected accordingly. JAMES B. GANTT, Major-General Commanding.
Official : JAS. W. ALLEN, Adjt .- Gon. and Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Sept. 1, 1906. General Orders No. 5.
1. The Annual Reunion of the Missouri Division of the United Con - federate Veterans will be held at Joplin, Missouri, on Wednesday and Thursday, 26th and 27th of September, 1906. Our comrades of Jasper county and the city of Carthage will join with the good people of Joplin in giving us a generous and hearty welcome, and in showing us the truly wonderful mineral resources of that splendid county.
II. Each Camp is entitled to one delegate for each twenty members thereof, and one additional for a fraction of ten or more. Every Camp in this Division is hereby directed and urged to send its delegates to this Reunion. The Commander and Adjutant of each Camp will be careful to see that the credentials of the delegates and alternates are duly certified in writing and mailed to James W. Allen, Adjutant-General, at room 126. City Hall, St. Louis, as soon as possible, and also a copy delivered to the delegate attending the Reunion. Every old Confederate in the State is cor- dially invited to attend, whether a delegate or not.
III. The Major-General Commanding cannot too earnestly urge upon his old comrades throughout the State the importance of attending this Re- union. The time is rapidly approaching when these Reunions must cease on earth, as our members are daily "Crossing over the river to rest under the shade of the trees," with our immortal heroes who have gone before. We are linked together by the ties of cause forever sacred, and by the mem- ories of glorious achievements and untold sufferings. Forgetting all the

bitterness, and remembering only the glories of that struggle, let us meet this fall and renew the precious friendships of those eventful years from 1861 to 1865, and recall the memories of our departed heroes, and thus tes- tify to the world our confidence in the justice of the cause for which we fought and endured so much, and for which our comrades died, and, at at the same time, our love and devotion to the constitution of our reunited country and our allegiance to its institutions.
IV. A considerable number of the Canips have not paid their assess- inents to these headquarters for this year, and have failed to send in their perfected rosters. They are now requested to attend to these matters be- fore the Reunion; and also to send a contribution for the preservation and care of our cemetery at Springfield, Missouri.
V. Efforts will be made to obtain the usual reasonable rates on the railroads for the occasion, result of which will be duly announced.
VI. The Brigadier-Generals of the Eastern and Western Brigades will immediately communicate this order to the several Camps of their com- mands, and urge upon them a full attendance at this Reunion.
By order of JAMES B. GANTT, Major-General Commanding.
Official : JAS. W. ALLEN, Adjt .- Gen. and Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS MISSOURI DIVISION, UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Sept. 13, 1906. General Orders No. 6.
I.

Tickets will be sold September 24th to 26th, inclusive, with final return limit of September 30th. The Commanders and Adjutants of all Camps will advise their comrades of this rate and publish it in their county papers at once.

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
TENTH ANNUAL REUNION AND CONVENTION
FIRST DAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1906-MORNING SESSION.
Pursuant to General Orders No. 5, Series 1905-6, the Tenth Annual Reunion of the Missouri Division of United Confederate Veterans was held at Joplin, Missouri, September 26th and 27th, 1906.
The convention assembled at the Club Theater at II o'clock a. m., and was called to order by Major-General James B. Gantt, Commander of the Division.
7
MAJ .- GEN. JAMES B. GANTT.
Invocation by the Rev. T. M. Cobb, Chaplain-General of the Division.
The Honorable C. W. Lyon, Mayor of Joplin, was then introduced by General Gantt. After making a few pleasant remarks, the Mayor intro- duced Mr. H. Clyde Compton as his representative to make the formal address of welcome on behalf of the city officials.
MR. COMPTON'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman, Confederate Veterans, Fellow Citizens and Ladies and Gen- tlemen :
I do not know, I cannot realize an occasion more gratifying to me and the American people; one more singularly creditable to the high type of American citizenship, and characteristic of that spirit, which lies at the

very foundation of the institutions of this country, supporting with the same proud and zealous patriotism the flag, holding with the same high pur- pose the ideals which the Fathers of the Revolution and time have made for our common good, than the occasion of your gathering here from all over this grand State, as Confederate veterans, to commemorate your deeds of valor on the field of battle, to meet again your comrades and to renew the old ties of love and friendship in a glorious reunion.
A little over four hundred years ago, Columbus, guided only by the sun in day and stars by night, struck out boldly from European shores upon the unknown and trackless ocean; tossed and swayed by the angry waves, he fearlessly rode the stormy deep, and in three months planted the sign of his conquest on the shores of this continent and opened it to civilization.
Europe at that time was undergoing a great moral, religious and in - tellectual reformation, and the principles of religious and civil liberty were asserting themselves, to the dread and fear of the "Divine right of Kings." The way being opened by the discovery of this continent, those who loved the principles of religious and civil liberty better than life, if that life was to be spent in subjection to the true philosophy of happiness and of living, became the explorers, the founders and settlers upon the shores of America.
These Puritan fathers were a brave, courageous and fearless people,
MR. H. OLYDE COMPTON, OF JOPLIN.
having suffered through the centuries from European absolutism and Mon- archial despotism. They became thoroughly imbued with the idea, and taught by tradition, by custom and by the worthy example of their stalwart and noble characters, that government is not and cannot be a truly represen- tative and just government which holds restraint upon the conscience of her people, and does not look to the well being of her citizens. They wished to have a government based upon the will of the governed, upon the needs and demands of her people ; a government where each could have and enjoy the worth and produce of his own individual efforts without restraint except for the protection of another's right in the redress of another's wrong.
We have such a government today, and it was founded through her puritan strength, those ancestors inherited from these carliest founders.
29
United Confederate Veterans of Missouri.
And those traits of character, ideas and sentiments of government, en- kindling our love and devotion to the country and the flag; those principles of religious and civil liberty have but added strength to our individualism, so that we have become not only the most independent and progressive people in the world, but the greatest thinking people. As we have come to this high plane of being by birth, had it ingrafted in our government and engendered in our lives, so we will continue to live, but on a higher plane, of broader citizenship and grander and truer statesmanship.
And today, as I look out upon this magnificent audience and behold the gray-haired veterans of the Union and Confederate armies, with common sympathies, equal patriotism, and under the folds of the grand old stars and stripes, once more united and forever the union and the cause of our coun-
COMRADE Z. H. LOWDERMILK, OF JOPLIN, Chairman Entertainment Committee.
try to defend, my feelings carry me beyond the power of expression at such grand and magnificent characters in the citizenship of the bravest and most courageous soldiery in history. Yet, when you reflect, it was a struggle for a principle, and in the early building of the republic we cannot forget the strongest traits of character of our Puritan fathers was their strength of conviction upon principles of government.
The great question of state sovereignty, and the non-extension of slavery into the newly acquired territory, throbbed and beat in the heart of the nation. Families were divided; father against son; brother against brother, etc., until the mightiest struggle in history had spent its energy and a grand people returned to peace and the pursuits of happiness. There were reunions at the family altar; a renewal of a common patriotism, and those principles of religious and civil liberty, which our common ancestor- age dared all natural impediments, and at the risk of their lives, to formu-

late and establish with a plan of government, that we might enjoy with nature's laws the fruits of a representative and just government, whose sovereignty is the will of her people.
You gather here today as brave, courageous and fearless soldiers, vet- erans of the greatest war in history. You contended for a principle of gov- ernment you believed was right; under your banners were marshaled the bravest soldiers and the most capable and able generals and leaders of modern times; in the great battle at Gettysburg, in the blood that dripped from the sacrificial altars, and mingled with the cliffs and rocks of Lookout Mountain, in the decisive consummation of a venerable struggle at Ap- pomattox, can be read the fearlessness of that awful conflict, the heroism, the courage, the bravery and the convictions in men's souls, which prompted them to struggle for supremacy. And at the consummation of this great struggle, Grant turned to the soldiers of the Confederacy and said, "You may return to your homes, taking with you your baggage, horses and side arms," he paid the highest tribute to the honor, integrity, loyalty and patriotism of the Southern soldier. They were as true then as they were true in the line of battle, where you were led under the generalship of Robert E. Lee, whose achievements in this war will ever rank him among the world's greatest generals, and whose unsullied honor and loyalty has ever endeared him to the South and all mankind.
