We have not referred to near all OF
the beautiful memories recalled by
Mrs. Henderson. This refined, lovely
noble old lady. with her mind clear
and her memory remarkable, did not
talk long but in a rapid, clear and
connected manner, and in an entirely
impromptu manner, recalled scene
after scene, memory after memory,
from the wonderful storehouse Of her
brain and her hearers sat spellbound.

forgotten by those who heard it, Mrs.

n coveted pleasure. Her husband was
a Confederate soldier her brother
and a brother OF her husband signed
The articles of secession as members
of the Confederate Congress. She
saw the site of the now great city Of
Atlanta long before there was any
town or city there. She heard Alex
ander II. stephens make an address
md she had met Stephens, jefferson
Davis, Longstreet and many Of the
other great men of the old South.
Following Mrs. Henderson Mrs.
Trout, the next TO the Oldest member
Of the club and another sweet and
lovable old lady, read a paper pre-
pared by herself and entitled Rem
iniscences Of Georgia." II was a fit
companion to Mrs Henderson's talk.
Breezy, original, truthful and refresh
ing was Mrs. Trout's paper. 1t was
Immensely enjoyed. 1t embodied a
noble tribute to Georgia, her history,
her great men of the past and pres
ent, and her resources.
Then came a musical number, Mrs.
Edwin Price, Mrs. S. r. Vols, Prof.
and Mrs. S. NJ. Boyer, sang "Old
Black joe" Mrs. Cullen was to have
assisted but was i'll. 1t was sweet
rendition.
A delightful and interesting paper
On her home state of Florida" writ
Ten by Mrs E A. Krohn, who was
unable to be present, was read by
Mrs. Hinton. II was enthusiastically
received.
The quartet then sweetly rendered
"Suanee River" and this closed the
program.
The hosts and hostesses, assisted
by Misses Vols, Kellog, Leahy and
other young ladies served delicious
light refreshments.
Just prior to the serving of re-
freshments Mrs. Trout charmed the
guests with a medley, on the piano,
