Anniston, January 1.-(SpeciaD-one of the most enjoyable events of the Yuletide season was the dinner given on Tues day at the Alabama hotel by the Wil- liam Henry Forney chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to honor the Confederate veterans of Calhoun county.
 This is an annual event which is an ticipated with eager delight by the Daughters, who love to honor the brave men who wore the gray and also their wives and mothers.
