BIG PARADE PLANED
FOR OLD VETERANS
Jacksonville, Fla., March 25—
If plans . now under discussion
here for the parades at the reun
ion are carried out, and it is very
probable that they will be, the
several hundred sponsors and
maids of honor that have been
appointed throughout the south,
will participate in the greatest
flower spectacle ever seen in the
southern states, on »\lay.7, the-
second day of the reunion. _
Present Claris' favor- three' .pa
rades, the first to be exclusively
for the Sons of Confederate Vet
erans, their sponsors, maids of
honor and chaperon?. This parade
will be given the first day i f the
reunion, or May - 6. Next day,’
there will b#a parade for the
maids and sponsors, in flo\ver-
covered automobiles,- The ten
tative plan is to decorate the au
tos with red and white native
11 jwers,, to represent the colors
of the Confederacy. In a letter
Gen. Bennett H, Young, com-
mander-in-chfef of the U. C. V.,
snggested the . flower parade,
and said that if Jacksonville at
tempted it, the thousands of visP
tors would enjoy the finest .spect
acle of the kind ever seen in the
south and never excelled any
where on the continent. That
such a parade will be provided
for the sponsors and attendants,
is practically assured.
No trouble will be experienced
in securing flowers fpr the pa
rade. Florida in May is a natur
al rose garden. Enough red and
white roses can be secured around
Jacksonville to decorate more
than a thousand automobiles,
and if so great a numbfer of ears
decorated with roses represent
ing the Confederate colors are
seen on the streets of Jackson
ville there are many people here
who believe that all records will
be btokee in the matter of reun
ion parades.
The Veterans’ parade will be
given the third and last day of
the reunion, It will be exclusi ve-
1/ for the Veterans and their of
ficial ladies. As# many of the
ve erans who care to ride in auto
mobiles, y'ill be accommodated
that way. Others will be on foot
and horseback.
Whilo this program for parades
has not been officially adopted it
is favi r id by practically.the en-
ire reunion organkation here
and will most likely be tarried
out.
In this week’s issue of the
Progress will be found a petition
for charter for the Cairo, Pel
ham & Moultrie Ry. Co., which is
soon to be in the course of erec
tion.
The names of a number of
prominent citizens of Mitchell,
and also of Grady, appear in the
petition as applying for the char
ter.
The principal office.of the Com
pany will be at Pelham, and the
intended length will be approxi
mately fifty miles. There is a
road at present extending from
Pelham to Moultrie, and it ...is
supposed that the'proposed new
road will take this line over, and
extend it from Pelham to Cairo
,A dispatch from Pelham says:
Pelnam, Ga., Maich 25th.—
Application for a charter for thri
Cairo, I'elham arid Moultrie was
riled today and surveyors will be
gin work immediately. Actual
Construction of the new road
will begin inside of sixty days.
Application fer the charter was
signed by Mayor J. J. Hill, Col.
H. H. Merry, J. L. Hrnd and
others.
The proposed road will be
built by local capital. The road
will be 18 miles long, connecting
at Pelham with the F. R. and
N- E. Ry., at Cairo with the Pel
ham and Havana Railroad and
at Moultrie with several good
connections. The road is ex
pected to be completed this year
as far as Cairo, Work will be
gin at Pelham.
’ Jv v Invisible on the Skin
At times even this beat
complexion takes on a
“shine” that is not exactly
pleasing, to say the least,
yet it is difficult to find a
face powder of which the
use is not at bnce apparent.
A good many well-groom
ed women find in'
Velveton
exactly what they require
to give the skin the exquis
ite bloom of a perfect com
plexion.
It is sometimes called a
liquid face powder. After
this lotion has been lightly
applied it is quite invisible,
yet it co vers up minor de
fects and leaves’t the com
plexion. with the freshness
of youth. The. price is 50
cents.
There are several of these
hie:h-class Penslar toilet
specialties, each' fine in its
own class. We are glad to
show them., to. you at any
time you are interested,
whether you wish to buy of
not. ,
