MIR. WILSON MAKES GOOD
SUGGESTION.

January zO,l0l9. Major Pat
Henry, Brandon, Miss. My
dear Major:- / noticed in my
home papers from Pittsburg that
many of the cities and counties
are making arrangements, or.
have already made them, for q
more or less elaborate reception
to the boys returning From
over there" and therein lies q
suggestion to us in Rankin coun-
ty. What have we done so far
in that direction, or what do we
contemplate doing? AT this writ
ing I have noted very little in
the line of recognition toward
the boys returning from the
camps, except q brief announce
ment of individual returns pub
lished in the weekly paper by the
ladies of the Red Cross.
Now permit me to make a sug-
gestion: Confederate Memorial
Day is only about three months
ahead of us, and would it not be
proper and fitting to show our
appreciation of what these boys
have done and were willing to do,
to arrange on that day for q
mammoth rally at Brandon invit-
ing all returned Soldiers and
Sailors to public reception to
be given in their honor, the de-
tails of this reception to be ar
ranged by committee Of the
Ladies of the Red Cross, The
Daughters Of theConfederacy.
The Confederate Veterans, and q
few public spirited citizens? I
would suggest that particular re-
cognition be extended to parents
OF those sons who have made
the Supreme Sacrifice" These
returned soldiers and sailors
should appear in their uniforms,
unless some law barring that act
should be in existence at that
time. There are also many vet
Grams of the Spanish War living
in Rankin county, as well as the
few remaining Confederate vet
Grams, all should be specially in
vited. The Colored soldiers
should be included in the invi-
tation to attend the public speak
ing on that day and then through
committee of their own leaders,
they could arrange their own pro-
gramme for the day. If COM
mittee should be formed, and the
above general outline followed,
with whatever notifications or
amendments might be necessary,
we could in that way do honor to
the soldier dead, and extend well
come and recognition to the sol
der living. It is right and prop
these boys should be shown that
the public appreciates what they
have done, and as matter Of
stimulating patriotism and good
citizenship, it is an act that we
should not leave undone.
This, of course is merely a
suggestion on my part, addressed
to you personally as leader,
but if you think well Of the
suggestion, you have my permits
sion to use the letter, in any
most good to the community. In
conclusion ! might add that by
following the plans above out
lined that we can make April
3Oth next (Memorial Day. day
long to be remembered in the
annals Of Rankin county.
With kindest personal regards,
/ beg to remain.
Very Sincerely Yours,
J. J. Wilson.
