AND THEY MUST co
RaIeigh's Confederate
Drum Corps Should be
Given the Trip.

If there is an organization that Raj
eigh and the State ought to be proud
of it is the Confederate Drum Corps
of this city.
1t is the only organization of its
kind in the world 1t is confined to
the South. of course, for that is where
it belongs. 1t is a living reminder OF
the days when it's members made
music for the gallant boys in gray.
The corps should go to the Confed-
crate Re-Union at Nashville Last
year the l.. OBJ. Branch Camp paid
the expenses of the trip. This year
it is unable to do so. The public
should contribute at once for only
5000 is needed to send the corps
20 Nashville.
The appearance of the corps in the
parade at Nashville will advertise this
city and State. But even that is not
necessary to talk about for the incen-
tive that should send the mon is pa
triotism Of the South for men who
stood for it when the dark days were
on us.
Mr. A. B. Stronach will receive con-
tributions and he asks for only so
cents from each subscriber. OF course
larger amounts will not be refused.
To out of town subscribers picture
of the corps, which sells at SO cents,
will be sent.
Then all together, and subscribe at
once. The corps must go, and the
small amount of $50.40 should be
raised at once Several subscriptions
have already been made. Let others
come forward at once. The time is
limited.
A Call fo,. Aid.
To the People of the City or Raleigh.
l.. OBJ. Branch Camp has the only
Confederate Veterans drum corps in
the South or world.
Last year the camp paid their ex-
penses to the L. G.. Y. Reunion at
New Orleans, where they were one OF
the great attractions. This year, ow-
ing to financial depression, the camp
is not able to pay their way to Nash
Vile. We believe that at Nashville
the drum corp will attract even great
ar attention than at New Orleans, their
pictures having been reproduced in
nearly all of the largest illustrated pa
lers in the United States.
AS matter of advertisement for
he city and State / believe the small
amount asked for would be paying
investment. To this end we ask for
voluntary contributions to fund TO
send the /. OBJ. Branch Camp Veter-
ans urulu- corp " NASHVILLE Ahiou - !
needed is $50.40, and if they go Will
leave Raleigh Sunday afternoon, June
18th. We ask for contributions of SO
cents from one person. OF course we
VIII not decline larger amounts.
To out of town people who sub
scribe so cents TO the fund to send
the Veteran Drum Corps of l.. OBJ.
Branch Camp to Nashville, the Camp
will send a photo of the Drum Corps,
which sells for so cents.
Yours truly,
A. B. STRONACH,
Commander.

In order to reproduce q painting in

outlines of the figures are drawn The
plaster is then cut up into small
squares, which are to be removed ana
GRADUALLY replaced by as many small

In the holes left empty when the plas-
fer is taken away new plaster made
