done by the y. d. c., in bringing be-
fore the youth of our land the true
principles for which their forefathers
fought, and through them we can
teach the pure and undefi1ed patrio-
priceless heritage than to be the de-
scendant of Confederate soldier, and
we commend to the coming generation
the ideals of the South-the land of
chivalry, of love, of romance and Of
memory.

progressive city may prove a mutual
pleasure, and when we leave our
hearts behind us, and carry with us
sweet memories Of delightful courte-
sizes extended us, may we leave behind
regrets for our going.
