appointed for the meeting of the
Scotch clans of this county in
Red Springs, was day long to
be remembered and this meeting
is iniatory to many pleasant gath
erings of the noble Scotch to
whose heroic deeds and invinci-

on day previous to that appointed
for the meeting-the delegates.
including a goodly number of
native Scotchmen, began to as
semble, and at II am. quite a
crowd was present. Mr.. A. D.
McGill, of Cumberland county,
was called to the chair and Mr..
T. McBryde, also of Cumber-
land, was made secretary. An
address of welcome by Hon. |
Hamilton Mcmillan, of this town,
was responded to by Mr.. ]. H.
Currie in a happy manner. Mr.. |
Currie paid high tribute to the
Scotch, and closed by stating OBJ
iects in view in organizing an as
sociation of people representing
the different clans. A committee
was then appointed to draft con-
stitution and bylaws, to name
the association, decide on the
number of officers etc., this COM
mittee to report at afternoon ses-
sion. Recess was taken and the
whole body invited by the local
committee of arrangements to
dinner at Hotel Red Springs.

was unabated, and after spiritual
