Brookwood Drive, Auburn, Alabama, 36830, now the new treasurer of the

We solicit your queries, news items, old and new, your genealogical data
relating to your family or any branch thereof. News items of births,
marriages, deaths etc., are very important aids to genealogy. Send them
to us also.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE EDITOR IMMEDIATELY OF ANY CHANGE IN ADDRESS, OR DESIRE
TO HAVE THE QUARTERLY MAILED ELSEWHERE.
Neither the Editor nor the Association can accept responsibility for cor-
rectness of materials supplied by our contributors, but every effort will
be made to publish factual data. Please call any mistakes to our
attention for correction.

Association under the number which they were first registered. It is
hoped that in writing that you would use the number for reference as it

EDITOR'S PAGE CLYDE'S CORNER
July 1968
Dear Cousins-by-the-dozens:
We are beginning to make progress toward the completion of the
Quarterlies for 1968. It is hoped that it will not be too long before we
can get them finished and mailed to you and we will look toward getting
those for 1969 under production.
When we deliver the three last issues for 1968, we want you who have not
joined for 1969 to come on in and pay your dues and get on the waiting
list with those that have already paid.
This issue is filled with much Alabama material which I collected several
years ago from many counties, and feel that some might have significance
for many branches of the family that settled in parts of Alabama. Many
from these branches have moved on to other states. It is hoped that some
of you that have made inquiries about various branches in Alabama will
find some leads that will be worthwhile to our searching.
It is always interesting that there are others all along getting the
genealogy bug. I'm glad that there are so many of the Kimbro-Kimbrough
family that are taking an interest. I'm sure that there are many that I
still know nothing about.
My daughter has come through with the typing and cutting of stencils for
this issue making it possible to provide you with another issue. If I
can get the mimeographing done along with getting the date ready for
publication we should get out several issues but it still takes time.
There is gardening, fishing, working on inventions, church work, lodge
work, and a variety of other things that have to have their place in my
life as well as genealogy so you see that it takes one that is busy to
get things done even thought it takes a lifetime sometimes.
I want to say a kind word for those who have maintained membership in the
Association not knowing whether or not they would ever get another
quarterly. My records are not the best but I do have those credited that
have paid in advance and it is so shown and my wife has been advised as
to the action to take in case something might happen to me.
While on this subject I will say that the material that I have on Kimbro-
Kimbroughs will be given to the Archives in Montgomery except for the
extra copies of Quarterlies which I hope the Association will make some
plan for dispensation. They should go to the next editor should you
continue as an organization. Often new members want some of the back
issues.

Swope, Samson L. Lumpkin, and Thomas Saddler, were elected trustees and
the lot opposite the Women's Academy, owned by Thomas Saddler, was
bought. Deed recorded, Hamilton, Ga., Book "C", p-440, Nov. 2, 1837.

"ALEX CITY HAS PRETTIEST GRAND JURY"
"This is the prettiest looking grand jury I ever saw," said Dist. Atty.
Tom F. Young. And his statement won't be challenged.
Eleven of the 18 members of the Tallapoosa Grand Jury in session this
week are women, undoubtedly the largest single number of women ever to
serve on any jury in Alabama.
Well, how does a woman-dominated grand jury compare with the all-male
grand juries which were usual until the U.S. Supreme Court said that all-
male juries were unconstitutional?
"I've found them to be very efficient, they are conducting the affairs of
the grand jury in a very business like manner," said Young, with
conviction.
About the only difference he indicated was that there has to be less
smoke in the grand jury room. Not as many of the women smoke.
Young said practically all of the women jurors are housewives, although
some also have jobs such as secretaries and insurance executives.
Mrs. Carlisle Gunn, a recent Mrs. Alabama, if one of the eleven.
(Note: Mrs. Gunn is dau. of Prof. Theo D. Kimbrough of Alexander City,
Ala.)
