ron THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

FOR THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
The ladies who are engaged in maxi
ing wreaths for Memorial Day have
appealed to all those in sympathy with
the work for assistance. The task OF
making the wreaths is heavy one,
and without general help it is almost
impossible to complete the required
number by Memorial Day.
One thousand. two hundred wreaths
must be made, and so far only half
that number, 600. have been finished.
1t is hoped that all those who have
even the slightest interest in the cause,
the honoring of the Confederate dead.
will put it into practical effect by going
to the First Regiment Armory to-
morrow morning to aid in the work.
Such assistance is not confined to tho
Daughters of the Confederacy, but will
be gladly received from anyone who
cares to give her time and services.

c. Barley has accepted the position OF
chief of staff for the occasion. During
the meeting Mr.. F. ]. Paf, president OF
the association, said an erroneouslmPres-
sion seemed to prevail that the organlza,
ton was considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
emitting the parade this year and send,
ing the money which had been collected
to Baltimore to aid the sufferers by the
recent confagration. He stated that no
such idea had ever been entertained, but
that at a previous meeting proposition
had been made that in view of the great
calamity which had befallen a sister city
that the money which had been contri-
buted by the citizens be returned to them
and the amounts so far spent by the as
ISOLATION be borne by the individual
members. This proposition was voted
down and preparations for the parade
resumed
