for Tuesday evening and expected
to entertain *Uer friends at the
beautiful new home of Mr. and Mr*.
J. T. Hay, Sr., in Kiikwopd but it
was unavoidably postponed. Vv
On Tuesday niflht a large party
of young men gave a stag dinner
at the Kirkwood which wae greatly
enjoyed by the entire party. These,
delightful recreations for the busv.
men have been quite a charming
social feature of the season.
Among those present were Messrs.
G. C. Moore, G. H. Haum, W. S.
Burnet, Marion Hey man, Dr. A. W.
Burnet, C. P. DuBose, W. L. De

At the regular monthly meeting
of the U. D. C. held at the resi
dence of Mrs. VV. M. Shannon in
Kirkwood on Monday, April 1 1th,
those present spent a very pleasant
evening, but on account of the ab
sence of several ofiicrs of the Chap
ter and the indisposition of several
members there was not a large meet
ing. There was nothing of great
importance to be transacted, but
socially it was most agreeable.
The John D. Kennedy Chapter is in
a llourshing condition and the mem
bers are already thinking of the
conventions in the fall.
Mr. W. T. McGaskill Suggested for

Reunion In Charleston.
The state reunion of Confederate
veterans in Charleston promises' to
be one of the largest and most sue*
cessful up to this time. The rail
roads will allow a round trip rate
of 'one cunt a mile. It is probable
that the dates for the reunion will
bo 'changed from May 17- 18* 19, on
acoount of the oonfliot with the
State Deraocralio .convention.
There wa? no intention to have the
oonfliot and as the date of the state
convention cannot be ohanged the
reunion dates mu%t be altered if the
oonf|iot is not to lake plauc. A
