This is the first time that the ox ?onfederates have selected Anderson m the reunion city and uncommon nlorosf, attaches to the meeting bere md throughout the state Owing tefl .he comparatively early date of the re union, the divisons, brigades and camp? made their appolntmenta of iponeora and maids early, and* these ladles compose the social side of tho reunion. They are known as the offi cial ladies of nie meeting, entertained is such, and courted by tho ehtlr?" social fabric of the state. Tim origin of the sponsors and maids custom at Confederate reunions la familiar. Twenty odd years ago a Mississippi camp of Confederate Ve.t 'iun:i appointed Miss Winnie Davis, laughter or jefferson "Davis, sponsor .it a reunion. . Miss Davis, in. turn sppointedr a couple of her young 'rienda tobe her maids of honor. This Incident, intended at the time as tem porary honor for the family of Jeffer son Davis, became a custom and now cVer'y organ 1 rut lon in the United Con fed?rale- Veterans Association, ap points rpanBOrs and. maids of honor, rho young ladles have an older fe male bead along with them, and each organization appoints a chaperon and matron of honor. The Sons- of Confederate Veterans following in the footsteps of their albara, maintain organisation in every Son thorn state, and hold their rc unions .on Jtpe same dates, They ap point sponsors and maids .bf honor, rhe two organizations, cloresly allied, therefore, e nd to each Confederate Reunion several hundred official ladles lelectod f,?em the best families, qi rho louth .that stand high. In the social itaJe jn their communities. No meet ing ai ? y whore in tuc world brings to gether at one time so large a number af handsome and ncconiulished ladles in be entertained by the city in which tire reunion is hold.

Mopping out a social program, therefore, for a Confederate, reunion ls a task .that., demands thc best o' talent ph 'thc entertainment line. There roust be dinners, receptions, balls, trips ' to points of interest around the reunion cities, and any thing else In the line of social enter tainment the committee may devise. The crowning event of. the week tn soclcty.-bowevcr. .is the annual ball for maids. and sponsors. : If the.. re union is held-in a city where a hall large enough to accommodate several hundred dancing couples at once can not he Eocured, a dancing pavilion i,s constructed, ?or. the, occasion.
