The many friends in this city of
Mr. Winston Jones, will be inter¬
ested in the following announce¬
ment of his approaching marriage,
which is taken from the Montgom¬
ery Advertiser.
Invitations have been received
in Selma announcing the approach¬
ing nuptials of Winston Reese
Jones and Miss Harriett W.
Wood roof, for Thursday, April 28
at Mooreville, Ala. The wedding
is of unusual interest as both
parties are members of prominent
families.
The bride is a beautiful and
charming daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James W. Wood roof, of
Mooreville, and is the niece of Col.
Thomas W. Sanders of Athens,
former Railroad Commissioner.
The groom is a successful and
promising young man in the cotton
business and is the son of the late
James Taylor Jones, of Demopolis,
who was one of the most prominent
citizens of West Alabama and for
many years congressman from the
First Congressional District and
judge of the First Judicial Dis¬
trict. He is also a nephew of
Senator Henry K Reese, of Selma.
We desire to express thanks
through your paper to our friends

In Honor of Dixie’s
Heroic Womanhood
From the Atlanta Georgian.
On Wednesday afternoon last
the first memorial shaft erected to
the women of the Confederacy was
unveiled with impressive exercises
on Georgia soil: and the Rome en¬
campment of Sons of Confederate
Veterans is entitled to premier
honors of this crusade in behalf of
Dixie’s heroic daughters.
It was not inappropriate that
the wide-awake and enterprising
little metropolis of the hills should
have blazed the way for this patri¬
otic and splendid movement.
For with all the enthusiasm
which Rome has brought to the
manifold problems of civic enter¬
prise she has never ceased to
the velvet traditions of the South.
The sordid maxims of an age
commerce have not supplanted
finer instincts of an age of
ry. At the meeting place between
the rivers she has kept tryst with
the olden times. Her sons
been reared in the school of loyalty
to the fair sex, and during
years which have followed the war
they have permitted no rust to
gather on the hinge of knight¬
hood’s knee.
Nor is it a matter of surprise
that the state which inaugurated
the observance of Memorial day
should likewise take the initative
in this substantial tribute to South¬
ern womanhood.
Georgia is true to the covenant
of Appomattox. She harbors no
vain regrets. She cherishes no
bitter animosities. In the indus-
trial march of the times she is the
banner-bearer of progress.
But her devotion to the Lost
Cause has ever burned like the
temple 1 ires which were kept by
the vestal virgins.
For 44 years the women of the
South have been engaged in the
loving labor of rearing monuments
to Dixie’s soldier dead.
Surely it is time that the chival¬
ry of this section should assert
itself in memorial honors to the
South’s brave and noble women.
The fortitude which kept vigil at
lonely firesides in an area of
country exposed almost constantly
to the perils of invasion was not
surpassed on the field of battle;
and except for the wild and fever¬
ish pulse beat of anxiety, the faith¬
ful hearts at home were buoyed
by none of the inspiring music of
the drum. The boys in gray at
front were nerved by the memory
of parting scenes to the true wo¬
men who gave them banners and
mementoes and tender farewell
tokens of affection.
Did any falter, they but turned
To some bright maiden’s eyes
And caught the holy fires that
burned
In those sub-lunar skies.
And this belated act of recogni-
tion has come none to soon.
Let the whole southland blossom
into memorial piles.
For the women who pledged
their trinkets and who sacrificed
dearest jewels that Dixie’s
cause might win—who bent like
of mercy over couches of
anguish in the hospital and who
lovingly through all these years
have kept the hillocks green—de-
serve every shaft which gratitude
can rear: and to speak the purity
of their devotion to the South
there is no marble too white in all
the mountains.
