General Order, No. 4.
In viow of the approach of the time
for the reorganization and reunions of
subordinate State and National Camps
tho time seems propitious for calling
special attention to tho provisions of
General Orders, No. 303, of Lieutenant
General Stephan D. Lee, Commanding
U. C. V. promulgated more than a year
ago, bearing upon the subject of estab
lishing closer relations between the
Veterans and Sons of Veterans and to
encourage tho formation of Camps of
Sons of Veterans and for other pur
poses, (a copy of which General Orders
will be published next week.)
With daily admonition of the rapid
depletion of our ranks as one by one
tho Veteran soldiers of the mightiest
conflict of modern times drops out of
the attenuated lines to join our com
rades on the eternal camping ground,
nnd realizing that the time is already
at hand, when upon the sons and daugh
ters of these men, must devolve the sa
cred duty and privilege of rescuing ami
defending from partisan perversion and
falsehood, the story of our immortal
struggle and of preserving and trans
mitting to posterity the priceless berit
agc'Jeft them by the immortal men and
women of the sixties, the Colonel com
manding cannot too earnestly urge up
on all Camps the necessity for action.
Under this order, subordinate Camps
of United Confederate Veterans are
empowered and are hereby urged to
give all members of duly organized
Camps of Sons of Veterans "such priv
ileges of membership as each Camp may
determine, and by loving kindness make
them feel that they are the Sons of the
Veterans' Camps." Particular atten
tion is directed to the importance of
holding more frequent meetings of sub
ordinate Camps. Veterans, let us meet
and mingle together more frequently,
and keep alive the memories of a glori
ous past. Lot us invite the Sons to join
and mingle in our councils, that we may
avail ourselves of their council and as
sistance, and that they may imbibe
something of the spirit of the few who
still survive of an historic and heroic age,
and that they may draw anew inspira
tions for the sacrifices, struggles and
triumphs of the future.

THE BLACKSMITH.
Hl? l'roteuaton. I? Both am Art and ?
H?ndlern?.
Thoro are fow moro attractive plucos
tat tho Averago youth than the village
blacksmith shop. Longfellow did not
Qspreas the whole of it:
AAd children coming* homo from echool
look in at tho open door;
They luv? to 000 the naming- forge and
hear the bellows roar.
It has a far more valid reason for
hypnotizing the boy than this. The
greatest charm of tho blacksmith shop,
both for the yomw and for grown
folk, lies In tho fact that, while It Is
a place Where handicraft rules, both
hand and brain are required to produce
tho desired results. It Is both au art
and a handicraft, for art Is either con
structive or Imitative, while a handi
craft Is either useful or decorative.
The blacksmith must be skilled In
them nil.
As for horseshoeing, In Its best senso
It rises to the dignity of one of tho
learned professions, for no one can shoo
a horse properly and not understand
something about anatomy and physiol
ogy. Looking at it lu this way?and
there is no other right view to be tak
en of it?tho calling of a blacksmith .Is
one of dignity and honor.?Blacksmith

Christmas lu tho Wost Indies is a

Ji the estimation of the negroes. The
great feature of tho season Is the se
ries of masquerades or mystery plays
enacted by strolling negro performers.
Theso aro of two sorts, representa
tions of such Biblical stories as that of
David and Goliath, when you may gee
tho Jolly actors clad In such historical
ly accurato garments as "bedtlek"
trousers and cretonne coats of flaming
patterns, aud those of a purely local
character. Of these last Is tho mon
goose play, which is peculiar to St.
Kltts and the object of which Is to
wage mtmlc war against the destruc
tive post which is tho curse of the Is
land. These strolling players aro tho
chief feature of Christinas celebra
tions.
