The Monument Bazaar.
At the court house last Thurs

of the Confederaqy held a bazaar
that was exceedingly pleasant and
satisfactorily successful. There
were five or six handsomely deco
rated booths, containing fancy
artioles, wearing apparel, friuts,
confections, farm products, etc.
Not only were daughters of the
Confederacy in evidence as.mana-
gers and helpers, but mothers,
wives and grand-daughters.
Everybody was interested, and
the aid accorded embraced prac
tically the entire community.
Thursday and Friday nights
ovsterB were served, and all voted
the service excellent—the oysters
much bettor than usually served
at a regular cafe.
The purpose of the bazaar was
to add to the fuud to build a
Houston county Confederate Mon
ument. The net profits of the
bazaar last week amounted to
about $185, whioh, added to the
amounts previously placed in
bank, makes a total of about
$400.
The greater portion of the ar
ticles on sale at the bazaar were
ladies’ handiwork, made aud do
nated by Daughters of the Con
federacy, their friends and sym
pathisers.
