Feast and the SufpriSeS---Great
Day in High Point.
IF the veterans Of High Point and
their friends who were present at
the annual Christmas New Year
Darty, given at headquarters, were
70 live one hundred years LONGER
thew would never forget the splendid
time given them. The whole glori-
Gus, brilliant affair was under the
direction of Mrs. T. Irwin Paylor, the
uutiring, ever-thouehtful and whole
souled daughter of the South, the
beloved sponsor of the best camp in
Dixie land, because it is the liveliest
oeanization of it's kind anywhere,
as publicly pronounced by offic
ers of the Southern Confederacy-
those who know, and the whole Sc
cret likes in just oGe simple word
devotion" or love" both INSOFAR
able-on the part of a true daugh-
ter of the Southland and reciprocal
ed by big hearted followers of Lee
and Jackson-love for the men who
fought ard died for what they knew
was right and devotion for the prin-
ciples for which they stood. No won
der the world looks upon such man
ifestations of love and devotion and
silently appauds true Southern chiv-
airy and valor.
The sponsor appreciates the fact
that only through the generous re-
3 of a kind-hearted public
could she have made the occasion
such wonderful success, and full
recognition is hereby given one and
all.

contributed $25 to The cause.

town friends also contributed Hber-

minating in as many velvet pOinset
taS as there a:e members of the
camp. Stretching above all was The
Happy New Year" banner of white
and red.
The great dazzling Christmas tree

tan bags of fruits and confection-
cries. In the shadow of the tree was
the Gift tables festooned i'll Santa
Claus paper and piled high with the
gifts done up in holly and poiDsetta
boxes and lied with bright ribbon.
Rising above all else was the inn
mense basket running over with to-
