LIE'S BIRTHDAY TO BE
CELEHRATED THIS YEAR
Tuesday, January 20th, Is Day Set
Apart For Observing Natal Day
of Southern Chieftain.
A meeting of the John B. Gordon
Chapter, Daughters of the Confed
eracy, was held at the Library yes
terday afternoon, the meeting being
called for the purpose of making
arrangements for the annual cele
bration of Gen. Lee’s birthday, next
month.
Owing to the illness of the presi
dent, Miss Reid, Mrs. Z. 1. Fitzpat
rick presided by request.
It was unanimously deided that
the occasion would be observed as
usual and the old Veterans of the
county given the annual dinner, to
which they look forward always with
such pleasure.
Owing to tho fact that General
Lee’s birthday falls this >ear on
Monday, which is a bad day to get
fresh oysters, have cake cooked, etc.,
it was decided by the vote of those
present to observe Tuesday, the 20th
instead, and nil of those In the habit
of attending this celebration will
govern themselves accordingly.

year will be made by Hon. John De
