BELLES OF DIXIE VIE AT REUNION Brilliant Fetes Planned For Jacksonville Meeting May 6,7 and 8 To Be Memorable Dates in Florida's Metropolis— Large Crowd Assured the Reunion City. Jacksonville, Fla. —Southern social circles are again taking an interest in the great social, military and sen timental annual meeting that brings together a crowd of from 75,000 to 150,000 people to do honor to the ex- Confederate soldier —the reunion of the survivors of the Confederate arm ies. The reunion is to be held this year at Jacksonville, Fla., May 6,7, 8 in clusive. li is the tirst time that the ex-Confederates have selected Florida as the reunion state, and uncommon interest attaches to the meeting here and throughout the South. Owing so the comparatively early date of the reunion, the divisions, brigades and camps made their appointments of sponsors and maids early, and these ladies compose the social side of the reunion. They are known as the offi cial ladies of the meeting, entertained as such, and courted by the entire so cial fabric of the South. The Sons of Confederate Veterans, following in the footsteps of their fa thers, maintain organizations in ev ery Southern state, and hold their re unions on the same dates. They ap point sponsors and maids of honor. The two organizations, closely allied, therefore, send to each Confederate reunion several hundred official ladies, selected from the best families of the South, that stand high in the social scale in their communities. Mapping out a social program, therefore, for a Confederate reunion is a task that demands the best of talent in the entertainment line. There must be dinners, receptions, halls, trips to points of interest around the reunion cities and anything else in the line of social entertainment the committee may devise. The crown ing event of the week in society, however, is the annual hall for maids and sponsors. If the reunion is held in a city where a hall large enough to accommodate several hundred danc ing couples at once can not be se cured, a dancing pavilion is construct ed for the occasion. This pavilion consists of a large canvas tent, well floored and lighted; it is also supplied with comfortable seats on the grand stand order, where several thousand spectators may witness the ball. If a reader has not seen one of these an nual balls at a Confederate reunion he has but limited idea of its size and brilliancy. Nothing to equal it in splendor can be seen in the United States, unless it be the inauguration ball at the national capital, now fallen into social desuetude. If the inaugu ration ball is put out of .the contest, the annual ball of the Confederate re union, at which the maids and spon sors hold sway, is the greatest social function of the United States. The social side of the Jacksonville reunion Will be participated in by rep resentatives of all Southern States, the border states and a few western commonwealths. There are sixteen state divisions of the United Confed erate Veterans’ Association, as fol lows: South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Ar kansas. Each state sends large dele gations of young women to the re union, selected with regard to their social standing at home. In addition to the state delegations, the com mander-in-chief has his own official ladies, chosen from the South at large. There are three departments, known as the Army oi Northern Virginia de partment, Army of Tennessee depart ment and Trans Mississippi depart ment. Each department appoints maids and sponsors and sends them to all reunions. The scope of country covered by these many organizations has about half the population of the United States; hence, the Interest In a Confederate reunion is always wide spread. Society circles in all of this territory are interested In the Jack sonville reunion, and the event will bring here one of the largest crowds of young people ever assembled In the South. Florida appeals to the young, because of its flowers and its wonders —its poetry, its songs and its attractive history. Rivers and ocean, gulf and bays have interest all their own. The palm and the pine, liveoak and holly, and a hundred other forest trees that abound throughout the state as nowhere else on the conti nent, invest Florida with an interest as wide as the nation. Greater inter est attaches to the Jacksonville re union than to any recent meeting of the Confederates, and preparations are being made to entertain a large crowd of people in May. The population of Jacksonville is about 85,000. The assessed value of taxable property is $58,000,000. Twelve years ago it was but. $13,000,000, show ing an increase of more than 400 per cent for the period. The municipal tax levy Is 11.5 mills, one of the lowest in the country. Jackconvllle’s bank clearings for 1912 were $168,422,388. Aggregate hank deposits approximate $22,000,000. Number of banking Institutions, 16. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County.
