Crosses cf Honor.

The Drayton Rutherford Chapter.
l52, U. ID. c., Ncwberry, S. c., this,
23th day Of February, 1908. begins
the three months advertising requir-
cd tc precede the bcstowal Of eros
ses upon the defendants of veterans.
Rule l.. Sec. 2. The oldest living
lincal defendant Of veterans who have
not received cross may secure it.,
provided that notices for three con-
sccutive months be published in the
city and county newspapers calling
upon veterans to send in certificates
for crosses. IF. at the expiration Of
three months no veterans have ap-
piled, the bestowal Of crosses upon
dcccndants and widows may begin.
The chapter urges the veterans to
be prompt in sending in their certi-
ijcatcs for two reasons. First of all,
because it is the purpose Of the
chapter to honor every veteran with
cross and. second, to give to such
defendants as described in the rule
above, the opportunity to secure their
crosses.
