WILL HONOR THE
CONFEDERATE DEAD
DAUGHTERS OF CONFED-
ERACY PREPARE FOR
DECORATION DAY.
WANT CITIZENS
TO PARTICIPATE
Celebration Takes Place April
26, and Will be the Most
Elaborate of Recent Years.

Wednesday, April 26, viii be
Confederate Decoration Day, and
members of the Stephen d Lee
Chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, under whose auspices
the day will be locally observed, are
preparing for celebration which
will be far more elaborate than any
which has marked a similar event
in Columbus during recent years
The custom of decorating the
graves of Confederate soldiers orig
mated in Columbus, and for long
time was elaborately obser cd.
During the time that the late Gen.
Stephen d. Lee was president of the
A. and M. College the full cadet
battalion of that institution always
came over to participate in the pro
gram, and their presence gave a
military aspect to the exercises, thus
melting public interest to a high de-
gree. When Gen. Lee resigned the
presidency of the college, however,
the annual visit of its students was
abandoned, and ever since that time
interest in the event seems to have
been gradually decreasing.
The local Confederate Daughters
have determined to make an effort
to revive the old-time interest in
Decoration Day, and with that end
in view earnestly bespeak the aid
and cooperation of the people of
Columbus. They are anxious to
make the coming celebration a sue
cess, and want not only those di-
rectly interested but citizens gen
orally to be present.
An interesting program is being
prepared for the occasion, and as
soon as completed will be published
in The Commercial.
