learn. •

Oard of Thanks.
I take this method of thanking
those friends who by their ballots
elected me Tax collector of this
county, and in grateful remem-
brance.of their cordial support, I
promise to fulfill the duties devel
oping upon me to the best of my
ability.
I also wish to state that I have
only the kindliest feelings for
those who felt constrained to op
pose me.
Again thanking my friends for
the honor bestowed, I am,
Very truly,
A. W. Murray.
The program was interesting and
instructive.. Questions on the
Civil war set the Daughters to
thinking, and we venture to say
by July 2nd we will be better in
formed, and will know more of
the Southern Confederacy and the
cause so dear to every Southern
heart. Reports from different
officers were satisfactory.
The president appointed a com
mittee to arrange a . program for
next meeting, which will consist
of songs, recitations, readings and
reminiscenees.
After the meeting adjourned,
Mrs. King entertained the Chap
ter in a most delightful manner.
The daughters feel very proud
of the beautiful chapter room.
The walls are draped in the Na
tional colors, and here and there
are flags, including those of Spain
and Cuba.
The curios are numerous and
valuable. There are relics from
many battle fields, all marked
with cards telling tlieir history.
Guns, swords and canteens have
been contributed. A camp-cliest
and other things of Revolutionary
fame, occupy a place of honor.
One studying this room wili be
carried from the “Boston Tea
Party” to Cuban Independence—
from the little unpleasantness
with John Bull to the present
time.
The following questions will be
asked at the next meeting, July
2nd. Let every member come
prepared to answer these ques
tions, and contribute her share
towards the afternoon’s entertain
meut:
Ques. 1. What was the imme
diate cause of the firing on Fort
Sumter?
2., Why was the Federal Gov
ernment the real aggessor?
8. Where was the first blocd
spilt?
4. Name the first great battle
fought in the war. Wjio were the
generals commanding on each
side?
5. Tell the result, and the ef
fect on North and South.
6. Give an account of the
“Great Affair?”
We hope there will be a full at
tendance at the next meeting, as
matters of importance must be
settled before the veterans’ reun-
