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.
