Will Make Confederate Day A Pleas-
ant One.

The Falls County Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy met Thursday
afternoon with Mrs. J. W. Bartlett.
The major portion of this interesting
meeting was devoted to a consideration of the arrangements for Confederate Day
during carnival week.
The arrangements for that day will be under
the direction of the Daughters of the Confederacy who will be assisted by the
veterans, a committee from whom were present at the meeting. It was the
sense of the meeting that that a general invitation be extended the people of
the county especially the wives and daughters of ex-Confederate to come and
bring well filled baskets and join in making it a gala day.
The parade will be something nice if the
proper co-operation is given. The daughters will decorate a float for the
occasion, also the veterans and an invitation is extended others to do so.
The veterans will co-operate with the
daughters in the way of supplying meats and bread for the barbecue while the
ladies will look after the basket feature.
The meeting was quite interesting and the
entertainment was all that could be desired.
