The guests were received by Mr.. and
Mrs. L. M Washington and Mr.. and
Mrs. u. II. CoZart, in the hall, which
was beautifully decorated with garlands
of American Beauty roses, festoCned
from the ceiling and arches while the
banks of roses which covered the old
colonial mantle lent a richness to the
scene which battles description. After
exchanging greetings and taking an in
stant to recover their breath the guests
passed from the hall into the west par
lor. where they were confronted by
american Beauties in their most en-
tcing form in the persons of second
reception committee. These were the
Misses Davis, of Rocky Mount; Miss
May, of Greene, the Misses Moye and
Miss Cozart. Here, as in the hall. the
decorations were of palms and Ameri-
car Beatty roses and the guests were
fairly bewildercd in attempting to settle
in their own minds as to whether the
palm should be awarded to the maiden
or the flower. To further heighten the
effect each guest was now furnished
wit INF oF
questions upon the American Beauty
This in itself was a work of art, the
frontispiece being a "Gibson American
Beauty" in water cclors. In answering
he questions Miss Robbins was SO for

Southern Beauty" while Mr.. Thompson
carried off that awarded to the gentle
man who guessed best.

perfection of an artists dream. From

strewn with the rich flowers.

The Joseph Davis Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy gave, in
the Opera House in Louisburg, on the
evening of the 10Th, most unique and
enjoyable entertainment.
The program consisted of songs.
scenes and incidents of the war it was
a portrayal of so much of the Southern
soldiers life as could be shown forth by
limited stage settings. The touching
songs, "Tenting Tonight" and "All
Quiet Along the Potomac illustrated
by tableaux scenes of a soldiers life;
tender old ballads like ''Lorena'" pa
thetic recitations as ''The Conquered
BaEner." cboruses of ''Dixie," "BCnnic
Blue Flag" and Maryland, brought to
the memories OF the Confederate veter-
ans present the scenes and thoughts of
that bygone time when Southern pa
triotism held life cheap and sacrifice
sweet.
A full hall evidenced the appreciation
and sympathy of the town and commu-
nifty in the undertaking, the object of
which being to raise money with which
to purchase crosses of honor to decorate
the remaining "Old Guard" of Franklin
county's boys in gray.
The sum realized was ample to place
upon the lapel of every Confederate in
the county this badge prescribed by the
national association.
Retire. shments were served and the
palates of the veterans contrasted the
flavor of delicate ices with the memory
of hard tack and fat bacon.
