Arrangement of Program For
the Entertainment.
The ladies' meeting at the court
house yesterday evening was pre-
sided over by Mar. ID. N. Kennedy.
The ladies were enthused with the
spirit of the movement and took
hold with hearty good will. When
it comes to honoring jeff Davis and
the Lost Cause, the GAINESVILLE ladies
are always in it, and they go in like
their husbands, brothers and brave
boys went into the fight. They went
in to stay as long as there was any
earth to stay on. The boys had to
lay down their arms over twenty
five years ago-that is, what few
were left-tO superior numbers, but
the ladies have never surrendered
and never will. They can't fight
and don't want to see any more fight,
but when it comes to hOnOring those
who did, their hearts beat to the mu-
sic of the bonnie blue flag and Dixie's
land.
Mrs. II. ID. Luckett was given
charge of the music-old time Con
federate songs-and was authorized to
appoint as assistants as many ladies
and gentlemen as she thought proper.
Prof. Graham and all of the teach
ers in Howell School were appoint,
ed to take charge of the children and
conduct the procession to the stand.
The children will wear a badge OF
"red white and red" pinned to their
left breast, also a small bunch of red
and white flowers. Teachers of cOun-
try schools are requested, where it is
possible, to come in with the children
of their respective schools and join in
the procession. Let the sympathizers
of the whole surrounding country see
that their children attend this grand
occasion and catch the spirit that
prompts the movement. Prof. Graz
ham and his teachers will arrange
the music for the children.
The following ladies were APP
pointed to get up the lunch or dinner
for the occasion: Mrs. J. W. Graham,
chairman Mrs. w. f. Coulter, Mrs
Louis Michel, Mrs. II. r.. Hancock
Mrs. Mary Walthal, Mrs. Clay
Stacker, Mrs. r. II. Burney, Mrs,
Alex Wood and Mrs. l.. G. Wood.
DIR. f. r.. w. Thomas beautiful
shady lawn on Madison street was
rendered and accepted as the place
for the grand memorial celebration,
and resolution passed heartily
thanking DR.. and Mrs. Thomas and
Mr.. Ragsdale for the use of the lots.
Prof. Graham was appointed to ar
range for speeches by a number OF
boys.
The general committee will meet
at Judge Tyler's Office at 4 O'Clock
this evening to arrange their part OF
the program and every one should be
present.
Let parents and friends see that
every child is provided with nickel
or dime for contribution to the
Davis monument. This is the most
important pant of the program. Let
the children give something and un
derstand for what purpose it is
given. Let the public understand
that no very large contributions are
expected. al friends OGthe cause will
doubtless feel pride in contributing
on the occasion, and those who feel
like giving literally can do so, but it
is to be a free will offering and no.
body will be bored for large subscrip
tons. People will give according to
their means and their desire and
those who give their mite will do
themselves as proud as those who give
the larger sums. Come; every body
come, it's a glorious occasion and will
be one of the grandest events ever
witnessed in GAINESVILLE. Let no
child old enough to remember it miss
the chance.
