There is none of it grown now.
Some used a Copperas Rock dige
which made a yellow cotton. Some
grew a weed called an Indigo weed
which made dige. They caued
indigo blue. That made the white
cloth blue and made a pretty bl,.c
suit.
This was all done at home by the
ladies with their hands. They used

A CARD OF THANKS
FROM THE OLD SOLDIERS
To the Fair Daughters and Loving
Hearts of Union and Union \
County.

Previous to the 9th of May the old
soldiers of Union county, who took
part in the conflict of the CO.'S, were
invited to feast on that day which
would be prepared for them by the
fair daughters and granddaughter. :
OF the Confederacy of Union and Un-
ion county. We at once began to
whet our appetites and make ready
for the delightful occasion; to say
delightful expresses it mildly. words
are inadequate to express the joy
and gratefulness we felt when the
day arrived and we were ushered into
the spacious building and saw the
gorgeous spread and so many of the
fair loved ones so busily engaged in
their efforts to make us Welcome
we paused and wondered why this
was. Was it that we were worthy? :?
Was it that we had done our duty :?
Was it that they thought we had done
our duty in the days of conflict? Suf-
flee it to say that we enjoyed the
feast and that their efforts will be
held most dear in our memories. 1t
is safe to say their efforts could not
have been excelled-the day was
greatly enjoyed by every one of us,
and we hope to see many such days
Iepeuteu.
We assembled near the monument
and marched to the graded school
building and for quite awhile was en-.
tertained by addresses by Hon. T.
Z. Duncan and Hon. Mendel Smith,
the orator of the day, all of which
we never tired.
Mrs. Clifford, with a bevy of her
lovely college girls, with the john
son Rifles, escorted us to the build
ing. Music was rendered by a choir
OF young ladies and gentlemen, all
OF which was enjoyed. "Suwanee
River" was rendered most beautl,
fully and carried many of us back to
our boyhood days-also the old ia
Imiliar piece "Dixie", as we rose to
leave the building gave us renewed
spirits and brought forth rebel yells
and carried us back to the DAYS of
chivalry.
Hoping that we all may live to
enjoy. many more such we say an
affectionate goodbye.

What Dreams Are Made OF.

1T is memories, and only memories
which weave the woof of our dreams
All that we have felt, perceived
thought, willed, from the first awak-
ening of our consciousness survives
lndestructibly.
These memories, perceiving that /
have raised the trapdoor which has
kept them beneath the floor of con-
sclousness, arise from the depths.
Memory images are like the steam
In boiler under more or less tension.
If we dream about events of the
same day, it is the most insignificant
facts, and not the most important,
which have the best chance of reap
pearing.
Sounds do not play in our dreams
so important a role as colors. Our
dreams are, above all, visual, ano
even more visual than we think.
IN dream we become no doubt in
dlfferent to logic, but not incapable of
logic. There are dreams when we
reason with correctness and even with
subtlety. might almost say, at the
risk of seeming paradoxical, that the
mistake of the dreamer is in reason
ing too much.
~ explore Cne most secret places
of the unconscious, to labor in the
subsoil of consciousness, that wifi ue
the principal task of psychology in
the century which is opening. do
not doubt that wonderful discoveries
await it there, as important, perhaps,
as have been in the preceding CEN
turies the discoveries of the physical
and natural lsciences.-From HenDi
