Proposed Change Of Name.

Last summer at the Confederate sur
vivors' reunion in Richmond, propo-
sition to change the name of the Uni
ted Confederte Veterans to Confeder-
ate Survivors Association was sub
mitted. It has since been discussed
in all parts of the South. and the
change seems to meet with considera-
BILE favor. The initials of the organi-
zation at present, "U. G. "" are not
especially significant; if they were
changed to &C. s. Az they would be
full of significance to every man who
wore they grey. A vote on the propo-
sition to change the name will be
taken at the reunion to be held, in
Nashville next May.

The lovers of good music In Anderson
will not be surprised at the following ex.
tract from sa0anu sh paper of recent date:
1.-THE musical service by the choir was
excellent. and was much enjoyed by the
congregation. The opening chorus. Thou
Art Our Father from Hummel. with vio-
lin and clsrionette accom- Janiment, was
rendered by the choir, consisting Of Mrs.
Gurganus and Miss Proctor, sopranos;
Miss Gross, alto; Mr. Readick, tenor, and
Mr.. King, basso. The opening solo gave
iue scope for Mrs. Gurganus' pure high
soprano and she evinced perfect control of
her voice in the sustaining Of her high
potes, and 10 the execution Of several very
difficult legato passages. Her voice ia IN
der high cultivation, and it's haxibility is
aim ,st marvellous This chorus as also
the soprano solo from 'fhe Maaaiah,'
Rejoice Greatly, oh, daughter of Zlnn,'
was heard for the first time In Savannah,
and 1t is to be hoped will be repeated at
no distant day. Mr. Readick and Mr..
King were both in. good voice Mrs Gus
tin, the organist, is to be congratulated on
the success Of her choir, which is one OF
the best in the oity."
