DR. COWAN: The Secretary is a good worker in our cause, and I therefore move you that we appropriate at least $50 each time out of the funds in hand to pay him for his incessant labor. I not only move that we vote him $50, but that we give him the right to draw from whatever funds may be in his hands to pay the expenses he may incur in our behalf. The motion being seconded was unanimously adopted. DR. ROBERTS: We neglected yesterday to elect a Chaplain, and I therefore make a motion that Dr. B. W. Palmer, of New Orleans, be elected as Chaplain of this Association. Adopted unanimously. DR. TEBAULT: I want to say that at the Memphis reunion I received a most valuable document from our President of that meeting, Dr. J. M. Keller, of Hot Springs, Ark., who gave me a roster of all the surgeons in the Trans-Mississippi Department. I received it and sent my receipt. We have there in New Orleans a building that cost $100,000, built expressly for the ex-Confederates, and for their documents. It is cared for by our Legislature and lives for ninety-nine years. The place is kept by a Confederate who is well paid for his services, and the archives can be consulted at any time. DR. KELLER: There is no other official record of the actions of this Association except that published in Dr. Roberts' journal. The journal will take but a small space in the vault. It seems to me that it would be a good record to be placed in there. After some remarks of a general character by Drs. Keller, Abernathy, Kerr, Cowan and others, the members all joined in repeating together the Lord's Prayer, and after singing "Auld Lang Syne," the Association adjourned to meet in New Orleans next at the same time that the United Confederate Veterans will hold their reunion. OBITUARY-DR. JOHN R. MACKENZIE.-In our October, 1901, number we had the pleasure of publishing a brief biographical sketch, with half-tone plate of Dr. Mackenzie. In August last we had the pleasure of meeting him personally while in Dallas, and, with others, greatly enjoyed meeting him in apparently good health at the reunion in that city in April of this year. The sad duty now devolves upon us to record his greatly lamented death, which occurred in Weatherford, Texas, at his home, in the presence of wife, son, relatives and friends, on Monday, May 26, 1902. During a brief acquaintance with him, and in his official capacity as vice-president of the Association of Medical Officers of the Army and Navy of the Confederacy, we found everything possible to be admired in a man of highest integrity, devotion to duty and sincerity in correct living. The following extracts from his home papers we place before our readers as a just and most worthy tribute: "When the war began he promptly answered the call, and went as a private soldier with Company B, Third Tennessee Regiment. Later he was transferred to the hospital corps, and was assigned to Ashby's Secoud Tennessee Cavalry as surgeon. "Dr. Mackenzie has been a valuable and useful citizen, having served as mayor of Weatherford 1886 to 1888. His administration was characterized with a spirit of enterprise and liberality. Courageous in his advocacy of what he conceived to be right and for the best interest of the people, yet kind to a fault. He was ever ready with his means and energy to promote enterprises of public good."-Weatherford Herald. "Our deceased friend's life was full of acts of kindness, mercy and charity. In his ministrations as physician he was as brave as a warrior, and went through scenes of danger and death where others feared to go. Where duty called he obeyed. No human being was so poor, so downcast, so abject that he did not receive attention, if requested, without fee or reward. He was alike the friend of the rich and the poor, and it was a beautitul though sad scene to see so many, in all the walks of life, gather bout his last resting place to pay farewell honors to his memory.-Weatherford Republic.” The business houses of Weatherford were closed at the time of his funeral out of respect to his memory. Heroically he had obeyed the advice of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and, having been a good soldier, had lived out the remainder of his days as a good citizen.
