A HIGHLY PRIZE GIFT
FROM VETERANS.

One of the most highly appreciat-
ed gifts the local Red Cross Chapter
has ever received was that recently
made by U. c. V. Camp No. 763.
Mrs. John M. Graham, Mrs. M. R..
Lyons, and Mrs. Robert Davis, of
Smyrna, were requested to meet with
the Veterans on Tuesday last, and
they were then told that Camp 763
had decided to give $1,000 to the Red
Cross, and $4,000 to the Army Y.
M C. A
There are only few of these, our
brave heroes of the '60's left most
of them have gone over the river to
rest under the shade of the trees,
and the remaining few are old and
feeble. But this generous gift from
their little is indicative of the love
of country and the sympathetic un-
derstanding for those going forth to
battle that still burns strongly in the
breast of each.
Through Mr.. J. Gid Morris, the
question as to the disposition of the
U. C. VS. money in the bank was
brought up. Mr. John Booth made a
motion concluded in eloquent terms,
that $4,000 be given the Red Cross.
He stipulated that it be used to pur-
chase wool for seeks, and that the
u. D. C.'s knit the socks for the SOL
diers, a red and white band being
knit into the top of each one.
This motion was unanimously car
ried, as was also the motion to give
another $4,000 to the Army Y. M.
C. A..
There is something very touching
in these old soldiers, whose fighting
days are over, giving from their
scanty store to the young men whose
fighting days are coming.
This is the first Confederate Camp
in Georgia to make donation to this
worthy cause, and it is hoped all will
follow suit.

sions of the season was the oyster

were very pretty in the Red Cross
caps.
The tables were artistically decor
ated in white and blue hyacinths and

Besides the menu of oyster stew,
fried oysters, pickles, sandwiches,
custard, cake and coffee, homemade

The ladies in charge wish to thank
those who so generously contributed
to the success of the supper.
