GEN. EVANS GOING

General Clement A. Evans. command

Veterans association, win leave Atlanta
Friday night, for Memphis. where he
goes to attend the annual reunion Of
the association. which will meet next
Tuesday AS the chief officer OF the
association, General Evans presence
will be required in Memphis several
days previous TO the opening of the re-
union, which. he says. will be one OF
the most successful ever held by the
organization.
Asked concerning the probability OF
the veterans holding their next annual
reunion in Atlanta, General Evans de-
cIared that. in his judgment, the city Of
Atlanta should send a delegation to
Memphis to press her claims for the
reunion. otherwise some other city
might win out.
The city council has passed resolu-
lions inviting the association to hold it's
next reunion in Atlanta" said the gen.
eral. but in my judgment a committee,
representing the city, should attend the
convention and press Atlanta's claims.
Personally, 1 would like very much for
the reunion 10 be held in Atlanta, but

No young couple ever get fully ac-

Parental love has cognizance OF these

Their objections are generally based up
on their clearer vision of what may

Therefore, when a young couple takes
the bit between their teeth, and they run
away from home and those who care
most for them, they add much to the
risks they are taking and rarely ever get
much sympathy when they prove a mis-
