UNITED SONS OF CONFEDERATE
VETERAN CAMPS.

Commander Thomas NJ Owen of the
Sons Of Confederate Veterans has issued
the following appeal to the members OF
the organization in jefferson county:
ITO the Sons of Confederate Veterans in
jefferson County:
1.-THE eighth annual reunion of the gem
eral organization of the United Sons Of
Confederate Veterans will be held in the
city of New Orleans May 1922, 1903, in
elusive.
THE convention which will form one OF
the principal features of the occasion will
be made up of delegates from the various
camps in each of the state divisions. The
Alabama division will be represented by
delegates from camps In Auburn, Hunts
VILE Scottsboro, Albertsville. Tuscaloosa,
Suligent. Troy, Evergreen, Gadsden At
ITALIA, Selma, Forest Home, Greenville,
Montgomery Tuseumbia, Courtland,
Hartselle Mobile and Luvern.
There is no camp in Jefferson county,
and in consequence its large number of
Sons of Confederate Veterans will have
no representation, even If they attend.
Such a condition Is deplorable 1t is a
shame fer 1t to continue.
Il therefore appeal to all patriotic Sons
of Jefferson county to form themselves
into camps There should be f1ourishing
eotuls n birmingham, Bessemer, Pratt
City, Ensley. East Lake. Woodlawn,
Avondale, Elyton, East Birmingham,
Jonesville and in many other points. 1
will gladly supply blanks and all neces-
sary Instructions. Remember that each
camp must be chartered and admitted into
the general confederation in order to par
ticipate at the reunion.
