pleasure in having the opportunity OF
nIaving mine hostess to the visiting

the gentlemen extending such cor
dial welcome, I know that sincerity
and hospitality abound in their hearts
as well ~ in their words.
1.-THE United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy are striving to instill into
the hearts and minds of the present
generation Of Southerners the love of
our Southern heroes and to make
known to the world the truths Of his
tory.
"Our Southern boys proved during
the world war that they are worthy
of all the love and consideration which
we can give them and that they ace
true children of the heroes Of 81.
"Our organization further stands for
the perpetuation Of the memory of
those who served honorably the Con-
federate States of America and the
loving care of our veterans. This is
the first duty of every true Daughter
of the Confederacy and should be an
opportunity held sacred by us as it is
fast slipping away from us. This
privilege is the lodestar Of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy.
Now since I not only represent the
division, but am also a member of the
hostess chapter and wish to add my
welcome to theirs, I have asked Mrs.
Amos III. Norris, our Encouragement,
to complete this response
Mrs. Tracy then introduced Mrs.
Norris. A pretty feature was the pre-
senation Of three lovely corsages TO
the three officers of the division, Mrs.
Shepard, first-vice- president of the
local chapter acting for Mrs. Reese
president; Mrs. Tracy, state president,
and Mrs. Norris, treasurer general.
Mrs. Norris made the following ad-

Madam President, Madam State
President, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, Veterans Sons, and
Friends:
"To me, as treasurer-genera1, has
been accorded the great privilege OF
ton of the Florida division, u. D. c..
for all theses heartfelt welcomes ex-
tended to US, and we are convinced
that we have come we'll.
1--WE have looked forward for a
whole year, with the keenest antici-
patton of pleasure, toward this visit
ever since your, and our, Mrs. Tracy
newly elected president of the division
extended the invitation to us ;r
Gainesville, last May.

from the southern, from the central
part Of this fair state of ours, to the
far west-to this portion of our state
which Alabama is trying to buy from
us, but which to us is "a pearl witho1,
price," to see you, and we are more
than repaid for the long journey, by
the glad hands that have been ex-
tended to us.
There are many members of this
organization that are making then
first visit, and were rather curious t.
