"To the living give bread
The dead have a stone"

To care for the living is the object of
the Confederate Bazaar to be held in
this city on the Oath to 2Sth of this
month. There are many old Confederate
veerans who need care and attention and
they should not suffer. And the people
Of the Old North State do not propose
they shall do so. The people of the State
owe their old soldiers too great a debt
to look on indifferently when help is
needed. 1t is especially for the benefit
of l.. OBJ. Branch Camp, and those
veterans who are needy and cannot get
the benefit of the Soldiers Home.
The Confederate Bazaar is happy
idea of the efficient and progressive COM
mander of l.. OBJ. Branch Camp, Mr..
A. Il. Stronach. The idea caught the
public at once and the bazaar will be a
greater success than its protector ex-
pected. At first it was proposed to hold
it only two days, but the contributions
poured in so rapidly and the interest be-
came so great that it was decided to
hold it for FIVE days.
The exceedingly bad weather of the
past week gives promise that for the
bazaar week we shall have good wealth
er. 1t cannot rain, sleet and snow all
the time.
The work of making the bazaar a
success goes bravely on. the ladies mani
Testing more and more interest each day.
The bazaar will not only be a big
enterprise but will be one of the big
social events of the season. Prominent
visitors from abroad and from every
part of the State will be here. General
Bradley t. Johnston, of Baltimore, anu
Mrs. Stonewall Jackson will be among
the number.
The bazaar will be held in the Metro
politan Opera House and the ecora-
tions and books will be something nand.
some. The booths will be in charge OF
a bevy of pretty young ladies.
A Confederate concert will be he OH
the opening night, Monday. to which d
small admittance will be charged.
Among the battle flags exhibited at the
bazaar, viii be that Of the famous Man
ly's Battery, Co. "a" 10th Regiment.
North Carolina State troops, artillery of
whom our city is so justly proud. A
thin line" of its soldiers will linger in
our midst and will hail with JOY the
flag they followed for four long weary
years. 1t is certain that many other
flags from the State Library of other
gallant regiments of the old North State
will also be exhibited on this occasion,
