TAR HEELS AT NASHVILLE
NORTH CAROLINA WELL REPRE-
SENTED AT REUNION.
The Fair Sponsor and Her Maids of
Honor--Origin of the Confed-
crate Reunion

At the United Confederate Veterans
Association, which began it's reunion in
Nashville Tuesday, North Carolina is
well represented Perhaps there are not
so many people there from this, as from
some of the other Southern States, but
those that are there to represent the
Tar Heel State are such as she is proud
of and such as would do credit to any
State and any people in any assembly.
Nearly all the principal camps of the
State are represented and for the most
part, by men who are representative men
in every sense of the word. For instance,
Col. Thomas S. Kenan represents the
l.. OBJ. Branch Camp, of Raleigh, as
well as a dozen men could do it. Then
there is special train of veterans from
Wilmington, another from Charlotte, and
individual delegates from other sections
of the State.
And then another thing of which the
State is proud is the beautiful young wO-
men she has sent there to represent her,
showing that North Carolina is not only
State of brave men, but of fair wo-
men as well.
Miss Mamie Branch Jones, sponsor for
North Carolina, is a daughter of Armis-
tead Jones, of Raleigh, who joined the
army at the age of IS, and remained
in it until it's close. She is a grand
daughter of General l.. OBJ. Branch,
who fell while in command of his brig
ade at Sharpsburg. No family can boast
of 4 prouder ancestry, being directly de-
scended from four of cur Governors
Branch, two Harveys, and Hawkins
Miss Jones is one of North Carolina S
| most widely known and popular daugh-
| ters, being gifted with a fine voice and
| many personal charms. She will sustain
| North Carolina in the position to which
she has been called.
4 The following maids of honor from
North Carolina, are with the sponsor
Miss Jones, representing the State in
Nashville. No State can boast of q
greater galaxy of beauties:
Miss Elizabeth Hinsdale. of Raleigh
| the daughter of Col. John w. HinsdaIe
who commanded the Junior Reserves
during the war. Miss Hinsdale is one of
Raleigh's fair beauties.
Miss London, daughter of Capt. II. A.
London,of Pittsboro who CALAMITY served
on General Grimes staff from the begin
ming to the close of the war, surrendering
with him at Appomattox.
Miss Bridgers, of Tarboro, daughter
Of Col Jno l.. Bridgcrs, and grand
daughter of Gov. Henry Clark, of North
Carolina. She is one of the State charm
ing debutants.
Miss Lamb, daughter Of Col. Wilson
Lamb, who goes to Nashville escorted
by the Col Jno. c, Lamb Camp Of Vet
Grams.
Miss Alexander daughter Of Capt. S.
b. Alexander. of Charlotte, who rep
resented the State in Congress for sew
eral years and whose family has ever
been prominent in the State.
Miss Harper, daughter of Col, Har-
per, of Hickory, whose gallantry dur
ing the war is known to the veterans
throughout the lengthy and breadth
Of North Carolina.
Miss Ray, daughter of Col. James NJ.
Ray. of Asheville, who accompanied
her to Nashville Miss Ray is prom
nently known as leader in all pa
triotic affairs in her section of the

an exciting base ball game to-
morrow afternoon. Two local

playing. One thing they can
depend on and that is the game
