THE CONFEDERATE REUNION
PASSING OFF DELIGHTFULLY."-
Washington, June }. 1917.

Washington. June ,. 1917.
To the Ocala Banner:
The first day of our reunion pass
| ed off most gloriously. 1t will go
down i'll history as a bright. particu-
lar day. unlike any other day in the
nations annals.
The Veterans. Sons and Daughters
were formally welcomed at the Will
lard Hotel Monday afternoon, when
the Southern Confederate Memorial
Association. the mother organization
OF the great southern unit. was host
to a great thrOng.
Stirring, magnetic speeches. full OF
fire and fervor, were made Love. 10y
atty and patriotism were extolled in
language that fairly burned with elo-
quence and enthusiasm.
The women were as eloquent and
as ardent in their tender of support
to President Wilson as the men.
Great stress was laid on the great
gathering being the welding together
in compact whole all ends of our
common country.
At night the Arcade, capable of
seating several thousand, was crowd
ed to it's full capacity. 1t was fault
lessly decorated with many flags, the
Stars and Bars intertwined with the
Stars and Stripes. The applause fol-
lowing the patriotic references to the
two flags thus locked together in low
ing embrase shook the building.
Senator Fletcher and John Temple
Graves were among the speakers.
Miss Mary Curtis Lee, daughter
of General Robert f. Lee, Mrs. Jose
plus Daniels. sister of Worth Bagler,
first victim of the Spanish-American
war and a number OF other sponsors,
were introduced to the audience in
magnificent tribute that brought forth
thunderous applause.
In clear, ringing speech, Mrs. Dan
iels made a graceful acknowledge
ment for the splendid introduction.
The chief and eliminating feature.
however. was the rendering of old
time southern songs by bevy of
young ladies dressed in military uni
forms. led by Mrs Hampton Osborne
of Portsmouth. Va. They were en-
cored and re-encored amid hurrahs
and hand-clapping as furious and as
catching as a prairie fire.
But the climax came in the animat-
ed singing of the now popular song.
entitled you Are as Dear to Me as
Dixie Was to Lee" by the Misses
Campbell In responding to an en-
core. pointing to the two flags twined
together in loving embrace, they very
catchingly said: you Are as Dear to
Me as Dixie Was to Lee"
Thus ended a night memorable in
history.
The weather is cool and delightful.
Light top coats and sweaters are in
evidence today. r. H.
