miles east of Greenwood, and
was slowing his train at that

switch. He at once applied the
brake, but before being stopped
the engine was thrown from the
track, turning over and skidding
along the ground for about two
hundred feet. Mr. Sterling

Great Parades at Reunion.

Jacksonville, Fla.-With the near
approach Of May 6, interest in the
Gath annual reunion Of the United
Confederate Veterans Association and
Sons of Confederate Veterans, centers
around the three parades, one each
day of the reunion. II has been def
pttely decided that the first parade
will be that Of the maids and sponsors,
and 1t will be given on the afternoon
Of May 6.
This parade will be confined to au-
tomobiles and carriages and all spon'
sors and maids OF honor will be ad'
mitted to 1t. The Jacksonville Re
union Association has decided that,
II possible. the parade of maids and
sponsors will be the finest spectacle
Of the kind ever seen in the southern
states. The route will be several miles
long and passes through the principal
residence and business sections of the
city.
The parade of the second day, May
7, will be of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans and local military organiEa'
tons. II is the present plan for the
Sons to march on foot, and the parade
will take in the business sections Of
the city
On the morning OF May 8, the last
day OF the reunion, the annual parade
of the Confederate Veterans will be
held. jacksonville labors under a dis
advantage In staging this parade that
no other reunion city has ever en-
countered, that of securing horses
There are very few available horses
in Jacksonville, and as a result 1t has
been decided to make the parade a
combination between horses, automo-
biles and foot-marching. The local
association believes that II win be
possible for the commanders and their
staff officers to be provided with
mounts, but 1t is going to be a diff
cult matter 70 secure a sufficient mum.
Der even for that. However, united
effort is being made to secure all the
mounts possible in Jacksonville and
nearby towns in Florida and South
Georgia.
Arrangements for these parades are
being worked out rapidly by special
committees. Mai. S. G Harrison is
chairman OF the committee that will
have charge Of the Sons OF Veterans

and noted cities of the country.
We have the talent and the re-
sources and now is the time to
put our shoulders to the wheel
and pull together for good roads,
more industries, additional rail
roads, river Improvement, civic
development and parks. Our
people should own their own
homes and the building sites
should be offered them within
reach of their financial abilities.
That keeps people from pulling
up stakes and getting restless.
The first move in this direction
is now we'll under way by the
cutting up of the Marx & Heard
addition in East Columbus. Mr..
Suits of Missouri recognized this
as the best natural tract of land
available for home sites and
made immediate arrangements
to offer it to the public in single
lots at their own price. This will
be the cleanest and biggest auc-
ton sale ever made in this ter
ritory and it is one of the few
opportunities that come in every.
body's life. Look Columbus
over and you will see that the
city is built solidly from the
river to the very edge of this
property and that the building
lines are pressing in on this
property from all sides. Study
the situation and you will learn
that millions have and will be
4
spent on properties in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. Thi:
property will be restricted
against negroes and nuisancas
Put these facts together and you
will draw from them that it will
be only a matter if short space

constitute the most beautifu
