them il desired 1t is an interesting his
torical fact that six flags have waved
over Mississippi as emblems of authority,
representing the sovereignty OF six ma
lions OF States
Mr.. Rowland is very anxious to know If
there is in existence a flag of the State
Of Mississippi which was adopted by the
Secession Convention of 1861. In order
that such flag may he identified the fol-
lowing description Is given: White
ground, a magnolia tree in the centre;
blue field in the upper left hand cor
ner, with a white star in the centre; the
flag to be surrounded with a red border
and a red fringe at the extremity of the
flag.
After the passage of the ordinance of
secession by the Convention OF 1861
dramatic incident took place in the House
of Representatives, where the Convention
was held. After the announcement by
Col. William s. Barry President of the
Convention, of the passage OF the ordl-
nance. Mr.. c. r. Dixon entered the hall,
bearing a beautiful silk flag. with a sim
gle star in the centre, which he handed
to the President of the Convention as
present from Mrs. II. II. Smlthe OF Jack
son. In accepting the flag Colonel Barry
announced that it was the first flag I'M
furled in the new republic" and the
members saluted 1t by rising, the vast
audience present uniting in shouts of
applause. That flag was the Bonnie Blue
Flag. and was the inspiration of the ia
nous battle song of the Confederacy.
The Director of the Department of Ar
chives and History says that he will ap-
preciate any information along the lines
indicated, and he suggests shat the
United Confederate Veterans and Sons
and Daughters Of the Confederacy assist
In gathering information on the subject.

while Mrs. Weldon was gowned in mode
crepe de chine trimmed in criss-cross tat
feta bands and bertha of Van Dyke lace.
Immediately upon arrival, hot coffee
was served each guest, after which a
game of whist domino in which about
sixty guests participated. was an engag-
ing feature of the evening. The score
was kept by Misses Gussie and Mary Tai
bot Henderson. The first prize. a stick
pin, a gold heart, studded with pearls,
was won by Mrs James Alfred; the con-
ISOLATION prize, a handsome lockwood
vase fell to Mrs. ]. s. Carroll. After
