Rev. T. M. Christian has called a
special meeting for Wednesday night
ship of the Methodist church for def
mite service preliminary to the series
OF meetings which will begin Sunday
morning. This pastor is especially de- l;-
sirous that all of the church officials
shall be present. The occasion will be
inspirational in that music is to be an
outstanding feature. The new song
books have been received and one
purpose of Wednesday nights service
is a full practice of new songs which
are very beautiful and popular. The
gathering will be in the main audito-
rum, as the usual place OF meeting

ALEXANDER WILL BE
MEMORIAL ORATOR
PROMINENT ALBANIAN AC-
CEPTS INVITATION. VETER-
ANS TO BE ENTERTAINED.

The accumulation of business of abb
sorbing interest to the local chapter
of Daughters of the Confederacy was
promptly dispatched by the president,
Mrs. T. c. Geise, at the regular meet
ing in session at the club house Fri
day afternoon. Plans of unusual in
terest are in progress for making Me
mortal day this year an occasion wor-
thy of the Terrell county Confederate
veterans. The members pledged their
support of any movement for honor
ing these old heroes. Dinner will be
served to the veterans, their wives and
the widows of veterans. Cars will be
provided to carry these guests of hon.
or to memorial exercises in the at
ternoon and to the cemetery, where
the graves of their comrades will be
covered with flowers and marked by
the flag they loved.
1t will be of interest to the public
to know that the program committee
has secured Hon. Hooper Alexander
as memorial orator. This gifted
speaker is too we'll known to need
any words of commentator. Patriotic
music will be feature of the exercis-
es and every effort will be put forth
to make April 20, 1928, memorable in
the history of Terrell county.
The chapter voted to give every as
sistance possible to the Womans club
in the entertainment of the district
federation meeting. The president will
confer with the heads of the other
patriotic organizations as to ways
and means for honoring the visitors.
No unwilling exercises are deemed
expedient for the monument to eX-
slaves. On motion Miss Bridges was
given rising vote of thanks for her
work in securing the marker and hav-
ing it placed. The corresponding Sec
retary was instructed to express to
the Schneider Marble Co. the chap
ter's appreciation of their generous
gift, and also the obligation TO the
city authorities for cooperation.
The program for the afternoon was
very enjoyable. The names of faith
full ex-slaves were given in response
to roll call. Especially fine was the
reading, "Eneas Africanus," by Mrs.
Jack McNulty. Mesdames George
Johnston and c. G.. Jordan, of Sasser,
charmed all by singing old southern
plantation melodies. Miss Della Hors-
ley was pianist. :,
During the very happy social hall
hour delicious ice cream and cake
were served by group of entertain
ers.
The matter was brought out very
strongly at this meeting that Terrell
county has memorial to the Conted-
crate veterans in the scholarship work
which has been so successfully car
ried on for several years.
