Stonewall Brigade Reunion

The survivors of the gallant
Stonewall Brigade held their an
nual reunion last week in Stsun-
ton. There were present about
fifteen of this heroic band. The
meeting was called to order by
Col. H. j. Williams Of Augusta
county, and Capt. I. D. Ransom
Of Stanton acted as secretary.
The executive committee made
reports stating that their efforts,
unaided by local committees
throughout the Valley had been
almost without results in securing
roll of the names and residences
of survivors of the brigade, but
they could report a partial list.
The committee further stated
that it was practically impossible
for them to arrange any assemblage
of the scattered veterans Of this
particular command or elsewhere
without some inducement for their
assemblage other than these
formal call, for annual meetings.
The discussion arrived at was the
view of Chairman Ransom that it
was expedient to arrange their
future meetings with reference to
some general nssemblage Of ex-
Confederates where the survivors
of this brigade would probably BE-
in attendance, such as tie annual
meetings of the Grand Camp OF
Confederate Veterans of the State
Of Virginia, which met each year
in different locality, thus better
meeting the convenience Of their
members.
COmrade Ransom was nominate d
for president, but declined and
named Car tain j. H. Waters, who
was elected. Comrade j. N. Nc
Farland, was elected vice-presi-
dent, Thos. d. Woodward score.

ENJOYABLE Halloween Festival
Monday Night

| hNOs0o/ N~'S
Ann Smith Academy was the
scene Monday night, October 31st,
of brilliant and grotesque as
semblage. the occasion being the
celebration of Halloween. The
observance is fast passing away Of
this old festival, which is said to
have grown out of the harvest
festival of several hundred years
ago, and which people once really
believed was the night when the
grave gave up its dead temporarily
and the mysteries of the future
were opened to the living.
Monday night as the shades be-
gan to fall the streets OF Lexing-
ton became lively with the pres
ence of deliberately decorated vans,
drawn by gaily caparisoned horses,
which conveyed guests by circuit
tious routes to old Ann Smith
Academy, where scene OF bril-
lance, grotesqueness and weird
ness greeted the visitor. The
rooms had been transformed by
fair feminine hands from dull
schoolrooms to veritable abodes OF
witches and hobgoblins. The de-
coratiOns were autumn grains and
bright-hued leaves of the falling
year, while the atmosphere was
fragrant with the scent of mellow
ing apples and sparkling cider.
Pumpkin lanterns, followed out
by deft young hands and carved
into semblance of grOtesque human
faces with saw-teeth and wide open
eyes, adorned the walls and gazed
from many corners. The Gypsy
cave, wherein the curtain of futur-
ity was raised, giving glimpses to
the curious, was dlmly lighted and
surrounded by mysterious trap
pings. In keeping with the pur-
pose OF the entertainment Confed-
crate flags and colored bunting
added military air to the scene.
The work of entertaining was
under competant committees who
looked after every detail OF their
several departments, and this was
the secret of such signal success
that crowned their efforts. Mrs.
James S. Smith, Mrs. j. McD.
Adair. Mrs. w. L. Shields and
Mrs. w. G. Mcdowell composed
the committee in charge Of all eat
ables except ice cream, which was
under the supervision OF Mrs. An
drew D. Estill. The country store
was under the direction Of hrs.
N. b. Tucker and Mics Margaret
Graham; entertainment and dec
orations, Miss Ruth Anderson;
witches cave, Miss Nellie McBryde;
candy, Misses Hope Stuar' and
Mary Barclay; postoitice, Aisses
Nellie Glasgow and Margaret Nc
Crum. Miss Annie White had
charge of the van.
Mrs. +. M. Pendleton was the
Gypsy fortune teller and Misses
Elizabeth Barclay, Mary Houston
and Judith Anderson were the
witches. Mr.. j. B. Spencer, eb-
onized to impersonate II negro, was
the star attraction Of the evening.
His song and dance stunts were
greatly enjoyed and Lis address
on "The Apple" was inimitsble.
The entertainment was gwen
under the auspices Of the Mary
Custis Lee Chapter Of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy for the
benefit of the jackson Memorial
Hospital. Quite nice sum was
realized, over one hundred dollars.
Mrs. LeConte Stevens was cashier
at the entertainment, and Miss
Mary Nelson Pendleton is treas
urer of the association.
