This program was carried out as
published previously in The News and
DR.. A. F. Watkins was master of
ceremonies.
A large picture of Mr.. Davis on the
stage was draped in Confederate flags
and surrounded with flowers.
Two notable features of the occa-
sion were the address on jefferson
Davis, given by H. Otis White of the
local bar and the report of the Sons
of Veterans at Little Rock, given by
Mr.. Alexander Currie, of he local
camp, and who was made a state Oh
ficer of the Sons at the Little Rock
Reunion.
Mr.. White was very successful in
his brief delineation of the Confed-
crate hero's character and proved a
very interesting speaker.
There is deal of talent among the
young men of the city and the Daugh-
ters on Saturday were most happy in
their selection of Messrs White and
Currie.
Confederate songs and readings
completed the program which was
very entertaining.
