A SOCIAL organization has been
formed in Chicago called "The Soci-
ETY. of the Descendants of Old Virgi-
MIA" 1t has lately been brought to
notice that this element is something
considerable in Chicago and the effort
to bring it together has been quite
successful. The association will ad-
nit persons descended from Virginia,
wherever born, and, from present
indications, will have from three
to FIVE hundred within the year.
Poets, orators, historians and
banquets are arranged for, and the
Association of the Defendants of Old
Virginia, which comprise in its men,
bership ex- Federal and ex- -Confeder-
ate officers, Republicans and Demo
Gratis, Catholics and Protestants. 1t
is the first society of Southerners ever
formed in the Northwest, and may
henceforth be considered one of the
most prosperous, if not, indeed, select
and aristocratic organizations of the
city.
