MODERN CLUB In
EVERY RESPECT
Welfare of the Young Men in the
Lodge Will Be Feature of the Lo-
cal Work in the Future.-A Revival
of Interest.

The proposition to establish club
room in connection with the K. OF P.
lodge in this city has finally reached
a point where it can positively be
stated that the club will be estab-
lished. The News mentioned some
time ago that the lodge was expert
encing a revival and that renewed in-
terest indicated that the local lodge
would soon be back in its old place in
Importance in the state. The con-
ception of a club room in connection
with the lodge is due to Mr.. F. S.
SentOn, who has been devoting consid-
cradle time and energy to putting the
lodge in financial condition and so
great has been his success that he
says that the club room is now as
sured.
The lines on which the club will be
conducted will be like those adopted
by the best social clubs in the coun-
try except that it will not have any
drinking privileges connected with it
On the other hand there will be
reading room with all the latest mag
azines and daily papers and arrange
ments will be made to put in Ii
brary so that the intellectual feature
will not be neglected. Then there will
be a gymnasium which will provide
for physical exercise and there will
also be a lavatory and bath. With
these conveniences the members of
the lodge who have no home will have
a place where they can spend their
evening both pleasantly and profit
ably without much expense. The lodge
is now initiating a number of new
members under a special dispensation
which provides for a reduced initia-
ton fee and it is especially attractive
to young men.

VETERANS ARE THERE
BY THE THOUSANDS

federate Veterans Association, but
during those first distressful decades
after the fall of the Confederacy they
drew together in various bodies of
survivors until the thoughtful sugges-
| tion of closer union led to the for
nation of the present brotherhood
about twenty years ago.
These faithful soldiers of the south
had returned to their states and their
homes, sad-hearted indeed, but they
laid hold of their problems with the
| firm purpose to solve them in honor
and with safety for all interests con-
cerned. Never before was a great
army disbanded md turned loose upon
a country only tie soldiers parole of
honor, with freedom to travel over
vast prostrated land occupied by wo-
men and child.en. But the brave
men who had fought nobly for their
rights to the end of a four years
bloody war coull be depended on to
return peaceably to their homes as
soldierly gentlemen.
No body of disbanded soldiers were
ever before confronted with such an
important task as that which requir-
ed the instant attention of the return
ing citizen soldery of the South; but
they carried their same soldierly sense
of honor to the field of action in civil
life Their willingness and ability to
rescue their Southland from ruin;
their courage in facing arrogant OBJ
stacles, their readiness to seek and
maintain the highest good of our whole
country, and at the same time save
their endangered principles, We're test
ted in a hundred ways during the first
decade of peace; but they came out
of each tense trial without the loss of
one manly virtue. 1t is also an i'm
pressive fact, here appropriately men,
toned, that in all the years required
for the restoration of the South to it's
present marvellous prosperity, not one
act hostile to the welfare of the whole
country was ever attempted: not one
breach of the terms of surrender, nor
one movement to thwart the true re-
suits of the war between the states
ever occurred. On the contrary, they
have recognized, from those times un-
til now, the wider, although not the
stronger relation they bear to our re-
united country, to each of its states
and to all of its people, As American
/ citizens, as well as citizens of their re-
/ spective states, the Confederate sol
diers have welded a powerful influ-
ence. but the results of that influence
show the wisdom of their ideas, while
! the grand effects of their endeavors
| prove that no other body of people
can serve their government both state
and federal, more faithfully and with
out other reward than that which con-
science and conscious patriotism be-
stow"

voted to the business of the organiza
tion and on June 10 the parade of the
Old Guard in Gray will take place. Be.
cause of the advanced age of a great
majority of the marchers the route
will be short, and along Main street,
the principal thoroughfare of the city.
This avenue will be lavishly decorated
for the occasion and at night will be
ablaze with myriads of electric lights
| representing the flags of the Union
and Confederacy. In advance of the
| veterans proper will be the survivors
of Forests Cavalry, on horseback an
organization separate and distinct
from the United Confederate Veterans.
Next will come the sponsors and the
maids of honor then the veterans
themselves.
A unique and interesting feature for
the entertainment of visitors will be
floral parade of hundreds of automo-
biles and carriages. Handsome prizes
will be awarded the winners in their
respective classes and entries in large
numbers have been made not only
from Memphis but from neighboring
towns and cities.
1t is planned to greet the veterans
with childrens' chorus of several
hundred voices and the old songs so
dear to the South will be rendered At
such gatherings the reunion spirit is
paramount and no pleasure the COM
mittee can provide will exceed the en-
joyment the veterans will get from
meeting again over camp fire reveries.
Opportunities for the veterans to
mingle with each other will be afford
ed at the headquarters of the various
departments.
