Reunion of Sons and Daughters.
Last Saturday the Wellston
Chapter Sons and Daughters of
Confederate Veterans enjoyed,
with a considerable number of
guests, their third reunion barbe
cue.
The outing was at the Elberta
school house, near the home of
Mr. J. A. Smith, in the Lower
6th district. From that point
the distance from Perry and
from Macon is the same, about
16 miles.
There were between three and
four hundred people present, in
cluding a dozen or more from Ma
con, six from Perry and a few
from other towns. An automo
bile was the conveyance of a par
ty from Macon.
The occasion was under the di
rect management of Mr. J. A.
Smith, commander of the ohaper,
ably assisted by a few other mem
bers of the association.
The*barbeoue pit was under the
management of Mr. Taylor Lev-
erett, efficiently assisted by
Messrs. W. 0/ and W). L. Lewis
and Needham Johnson.
The school house was decorated
on the outsidejwith copies of Con
federate battle i flags, and red
ribbon reunion badges were lib
erally distributed by little girls.
There was att excellent band of
music—violins and cornet—and
music in the school house enliv
ened the occasion at frequent in
tervals throughout the day.
At about 11:80 o’clock several
visitors were persuaded to make
short talks concerning the occa
sion, the association, what it rep
resents and the desirability of its
annual observance. During the
day about 80 names were added to
the membership of the Chapter,
making more than 100 altogether,
all pledged “to give the associa
tion their full support.’’
At» the usual hour dinner was
served on tables in the grove, apd
after the Divine blessing had been
invoked, an unsurpassed repast
was heartily partaken of. The
barbecued pork, mutton and kid
was as good as ever Batified the
appetite of an epicure, and the
other etceteras were in great va
riety and of the best quality.
Sweetening all was the hospitali
ty that waB seen, heard and felt,
most cordial and pleasing.
During the afternoon the busi
ness meeting of the chapter was
held, with Mr. J.Tv Walker ohair-
mau, and J. D. Cherry secretary.
The officers for the ensueing
year are, J. A. Smith, Comman
der; H. L. Byrd, Vice Command
er; J. D. Cherry,.Secretary; Gra
ham Thompson, Treasurer.
It was resolved that there shall
be a reunion and barbecue next
summer, and aunually thereafter.
The meeting next summer will
be arranged for and managed by
an executive committee, as fol
lows: J. A. Smith, Alex F. Smith
W. C. Lewis, z- T. Aultman, W.
H, Talton.
At next meeting there will'be
a speaker by previous invitation,
and perhaps a regular program of
exercises.
After 4 o’clock in the after
noon, dancing was enjoyed by a
considerable number of the young
people.
The occasion was a complete
suooess, and it was the expressed
wish of all that there should be
many more suoh reunions.
