keep the young people well versed in

two years old, is eligible for member
ship. and at seventeen years of age,
they are entitled to join the
Daughters of the Confederacy. A

the line of devotion to the cause for
which fathers and grand fathers suf-
fered and died, impressing upon them
the great Importance of building up

But imagine, il you can, full

arm, and the foolish looking toy
held by a silver chain around the
neck, and pinned to her dress.

that the Teddy Bear" fad is going
to strike Pensacola. Heaven forbid
that this prophecy may come to pass,

their intention of giving Teddy
