THE DINNER.
As we get older the women get better.
The dinner was pronounced by an epi-
curean as the best dinner OF modern
times by all. 1t was called a great
feast. After dinner and after the cigars
the master of ceremonies, DIR. f. M.
McRee, called for after dinner speeches.
All were too full for utterance except
DR.. McRee, Dr. Matlock and Captain
Inman, who were almost too full for
utterance. Then Mrs. Brevard said in
few words from her patriotic heart
all that could have been said. Mrs.
Faircloth also made a forceful talk,
portraying the arduous work of the
willing hands OF the devoted women of
the South, whose fair hands lent a new
dignity to labor. No better service
could have been gwen than the ladies
gave to the veterans, assisted by Sam
Bratton, Sam Woosley, Chas. Harris
and James Faircloth, all sons of vet
Grams except James Faircloth, grand
son of Confederate veteran DIR.
.Matlock called our attention to this
date as being the anniversary of the
death OF General Zolicoffer and pro-
nounced splendid eulogy on General
Zolicoffer. Dr. McRee called our at
tention to the kindness and worth of
the ladies, and on behalf OF Warren

hearty thanks. Fifty-two veterans were
well filed and happy Captain Harris
had the veterans form line and march
