IN MEMORIAM

The Stephen D. Lee Camp of
the Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans are bowed in grief at the
death on May 28th., last of their
friend and fellow townsman,
General Stephen D. Lee, Com
mander-inChief of the Confeder-
ate Veterans, for whom their
Camp is proudly named. Words
cannot adequately express our
appreciation of his worth and
his services to the South, to his
State, and to this city, his home,
for many years. Notwithstand-
ing, it is fit and proper that as
best we can We place on record
our estimate of the deceased and
our profound sense of the irre-
parable loss that has befallen US
and this whole country. There
fore,
Resolved, That we recall with
admiration the splendid deeds of
the dead hero at Fort Sumpter,
Second Manassas, Sharpsburg,
Chicasaw Bayou, Vicksburg, and
other historic places.
Resolved. That with no less
pleasure and satisfaction his SER
vices to his State since The War
are gratefully remembered. AS
State Senator, s Member of the
Constitutional Convention of
1890, and as the first President
of the Mississippi A. &.M. Co llege
the real founder of that great in
stitution, he will never be forgot
ten.
Resolved, That as a man, a
friend, a fellow citizen true
modest, noble. philanthropic, and
patriotic his memory will ever
be fondly cherished.
Resolved, That these resolu-
tions be spread on the minute
book Of this Camp: that a copy
be sent to his son in Chicago and
to the family in Columbus; and
that copies be furnished to the
city papers with a request for
publication.

DEATH OF GENERAL
STEPHEN D. LEE
Officially Announced BY Commander Army
OF Northern Virginia Department.

The following general order
has been sent out by Gen. c.
Irvine Walker:
Army of Northern Virginia Dept,
United Confederate Veterans,
Charleston, S. c., May %, 1903.
The department commander
announces with a sore, sad heart
the death of the distinguished
commander-in-chief of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans, Gen.
Stephen ID. Lee. 1t is fortunate
that our beloved chief ends a
life well rounded and of good to
himself, m ore particularly to
his fellow men. 1t was good
that he lived. Mankind has
been bettered by the influence.
example and leadership of this
pure, true, noble man.
70 us, his comrades of the
United Confederate Veterans,
with which organization he has
been most prominently associ-
ated from its very birth, he en-
deared himself by his wise and
conservative guidance, and by
the hearty, loving cheer he al
ways had ready for the humble
as we'll as the high. He was al
ways true to his Confederate
convictions, and while he met
those of conflicting opinions with
frankness and liberality, he nev-
er wavered in his devotion to
and advocacy of the holy mem
cries of the hallowed past. He
was a loyal Confederate Veteran,
and he died with an unutterable
conviction of the justice and
righteousness of the Confeder-
ate struggle. On no bier can
the Confederate flag more con-
sistently rest than on that of
our friend, our commander, our
chief.

St. yaleatiae's Party,

Mrs. c. c. Bell. ably assisted by Mrs. J. w. Brown. entertained about twenty-five couples in the parlors of the Bell Hotel on last Friday evening in an entaresting and novel manner much to the de- light of those present. There was an advertisement gues sing contest that furnished it's share of amuse- ment owing to the peculiar answers given, cards and a dainty novelty luncheon to conclude the even ngs entertainment with. Miss Eva Richardson and T. w. Weaver re- ceived the prizes offered on the guessing contest. while J. U. Brown and John Rives were lucky enough to get Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Brown for partners for supper and in con- sequence had to help serve it. Neatly printed menu cards con- tained a list of the refreshments and a note at the bottom informed the guests that only six dishes could be ordered. While this menu was not in French it might just as we'll have been as it was so worded that none knew what they were ordering. Much merriment was caused at the table when about half the guests were drinking clar- ct or coffee while the others had to be content with water. Taken al- together it was the most success ful party given in Huttig during the past year and proved Mrs. Bell to be a royal entertainer.
