culture, lineage and a dozen and one
other alleged causes.
Under the lineage classification there
are already a bevy OF bodies. notably

Daughters OF the Confederacy, each

OF the first organizations preying upon
the rolls OF the other And as a result
some naughty things are said and done
Ia both camps.
But that is neither here nor there in

DC OF a type 10 make good newspaper
story. Amen!
But seriously, such an organization
has Il IN its power 20 WELD large in

history Of their fOrefathers and the
country in which they settled II may
create an interest in preserving historic
relics and records and legends and
thereby lay the foundation for an in

personnel numbers such leVel-headed
women as Mrs Aylett Cotton. Mrs L

L Y. Pinney, Mrs. Robert Wallace,
Mrs Cyrus S. Wright, Mrs. Scott, Mrs
