The picnic and barbecue given yes
terday by the Sons anu Daughters of
the Confederacy to the Confederate
Veterans and invited guests at the
Slaughter ranch was a decided sue
cess. The merrymakers began to ar
rive at the ranch at 10 o'clock in all
sorts and kinds of conveyances from
burro and mule teams to rubber tired
cabs and automobiles. By noon there
were at least one thousand people in
attendance under the shade of the
Cottonwood grove. This great ranch
is noted for its picnics, and the open
hearted hospitality of George NJ.
Slaughter and the ranch manager, j,
A. Williams are too well known in
Roswell for further comment. Dec
orations of red. white and blue hunt
ing and Old Glory played in the
breeze over the platform. At the side
of the Stars and Stripes f1oated grand
ly the Confederate emblem. There
was a piano at the rear of the plat
form and the impromptu program
was started by the choir of forty
voices singing. America The mu-
steal program was in charge of Mrs.
J. ]. Williamson and she presided at
the piano. AT the conclusion of sing
ing America there was hearty cneer-
ing and the Roswell Band under the
leadership of Captain Jack Fletcher
struck up the air that stirred the
southern hearts.
The first speaker was Rev. Henry
F. Verminion. pastor of the First
Baptist Church. He said that he mad
not prepared a talk and was called
upon unexpectedly as the speakers
who were asked had not put in ap-
pearance up to that time. Mr.. Yer
millions address was well received
and he spoke in fitting and tender
manner to the Old Confederates. The
speaker was cheered heartily. At
this point Colonel Wilson asked all
sons and daughters of the Confedera-
cy and visitors to gather on the south
side of the platform and the veterans
in a line to the north as it was time
