ed with this highly valued emblem of
their sacrifices and devation to the
principles of the four years' conflict
that tried tem so severely.

convenient tinef.r the participants as
well as the public generally. and no
oonfiict, will be occasioned thereby
through the convening of court.
Let every old soldier that can pos
sibly come he on hand that day, and
the publiic is cordially invited. This
is essentially the day for the old sol
(ers--the good old soldiers of the
sixties-and they are the people
whom the public, and especially the
ladies, delight to honor. Let them
all comlio and bring their baskets, antd
spread then with such provisions as
the ladies will collect for the enter- I
taimtuent of these veterans who t
risked everything in the cause they
still love. It is the purpose to see
that every veteran has a good time,
and i good dinner, and the hope of
'he ladies is that every veteran will
consider that Saturday, June 1st, is
his day, and will make himnself at
home in Pickens on that occasion.
'Jo this feast suad to the pleasures of
the clay every veteran in the county
and every one that can come to Pick.

to see that TiEY ESPECIALLY are first

Arrangemeuts are being made for
music and for eloquent speeches, and
the spirit of the great days, whcn
patriotism and duty were the iuspir- t
ation of all the people, is expected to
run high in Pickens.
Let everybody come, and bring
baskets and spread their contents ,
with the other good things the
Daughters of the Confederacy will I
provide, and let everybody unite in I
