To the Editor:
"Will you kindly permit me a mem-
f ber of the local Chapter Daughters
t'of the Confederacy to have a few
words to say in regard to the meeting
f on laBt Sunday afternoon In the Odd
1 Fellows hall and as to the significance
i of the gathering. The fact Is that
though the several societies that met
together were organized many years
ago it is also a fact and a sad one
that neither one of them has kept up
its roll of memherB as It imght have
done. The Camp of the U. C. V. was
organized quite fifteen years ago and
has met though irregularly" .since
then; but a report that was made to
it on Sunday by Its committee on re-
organization contained the names of
upwards of seventy old men in and
near Abilene who fought underjtthe
'Stars and Bars for the Lost Cause
therefore eligible to membership In
the Camp but strange to say have
never yet identified themselves with
the organization. The Chapter of the
1L D. C. wps organized' later than the
-Camp hv.t It has hot been as active
as It ml(ht have been and there are a
large number of women In the city and
vicinity who are eligible to member-
ship whose names have never yet ap-
peared on the roll of members. So
"with the local Camp of the Sons of
Veternns which al8o was organized
several years ago There are doubt-
less several hundred men In and near
Abilene who should be but are not now
op- Us membership roll and only need
' to be Invited to do so when they will
gladly get In line with tho present
membership.
The definite purpose of the meet-
ing at the Odd fellows hall was to
bring together socially the members of
all the societies named so that a new
and deepor Interest than has ever yet
heep felt in them might bo aroused
and encouraged to the end that the
active membership of each of them
should bo Increased and that too
-very soon. My information Is that
the old soldiers already members of
1 the U. C. V. are resolved to go to
work at once and never relax their
efforts until eyery ex-Confederate sol-
dier within the jurisdiction of their
Camp shall be brought Into the organ-
ization. I nm advised that a Blmllar
spirit has entered into the Camp of
the Sons and that Its officers and
members nro determined to have fully
two hundred and fifty members on the
Tolls In the very near future As one
of the Daughters a member of tho lo-
cal U. D. C. Camp I betray no coli-
fldence when I state that every one of
its officers and members will get busy
at once and will stay busy until the
-Chapter Bhall be the very largest in
Central West Texas if not In the state.
The meeting of Sunday afternoon was
hut the beginning of tho work suggest-
ed and I feel safe in predicting that
Jt will be followed by many other sim-
ilar gatherings though It wll bo dlffl-
oult If not Impossible to arrange and
carry out programs that will bo more
appropriate or more enjoyable than
-was that which delighted tho largo
crowd that wbb present. Yes It was
all that could reasonably be desired
and I know that I express the senti-
ment of evory member of tho U. D. C
Chapter when I Bay that to Mrs. J. J.
Clinton Ib due yory much tho largest
share of praise for tTio arrangement
and carrying out of tho program
True she had others to co-operate
with and assist her bi)t )n the main it
waa her work that made the enter-
tainment tho success all who were
present agree that It was Then too
special acknowledgements are due to
all who took part in tho program.

The Dixie solo and chorus was very
keenly enjoyed by every one who
heard it and who can wonder that
tears stood in the eys of the dear old
veterans and that their vocles were
husky with emotion when after its
rendition they joined In the expression
of their aprpeciatlon. Next in order
was the beautiful sacred solo by Mrs.
Jesse Walker which was followed by
a reading by Mils Price a member of
the faculty of Simmons College that1
brought out in the strongest light the
significance of the Bible stqry of David
and Goliath. Miss Price is a recog-
nized artiste in elocution whose selec-
tions and renditions are invariably en-
joyed by her audiences. Abilene has
long been noted for the large number
jof its fine singers male and female
but I'm sure that every one who heard
the rendition of the dear old wartime
song "Tenting Tonight on the Old
Camp Ground" by Misses Shackel-
ford Welch Henson and Northrup
with Miss Mae Darnell as accompanl-
est will long remember this old song
With pleasure. Miss Gladys Weaver
next recited In a most attractive and
touching manner that finest and best
loved poem of Father Ryaiij the poet
priest of the South and there were
many sad faces 1n the audience as she
Bpoke so feelingly "The Conquered
Banner." The solo rendered by Mrs.
Henry Bass so exquisitely was a touch
ing lemtnder of the olden times to tho
old soldiers who even when the eldest
of them wore but soldier boys loved
the dear old song and story of "Ben
Bolt." The short nddress by Itev. Mr.
Crow was greatly enjoyed by every
one present as he explained the im-
portance the necessity indeed for the
thorough organ'izatlon not tily hf
tho old 'soldiers but of the Sons and
Daughters throughout the Southland.
Without such organizations to rgmliid
them our state leglslaturps can hard-
ly be depended on to make proper and
much needed provision for such of thp
old heroes still alive and of the wid-
ows of many who are dead as Imper-
atively need to bo cared for In their
declining years The last feature of
tho charming program was also an
attractive one Tho entlro crowd
Joined in singing "My Country 'Tis
of Thee" nnd the faces ay well as the
tones of their voices demonstrated that
the old soldiers In 1009 aro Indeed lov-
ers of tholr country and are proud of
the fact that In 1801-65 they fought
valiantly for what they then believed
and still believe were their rights as
citizens of the Southlandof which
sang.
Altogether the meeting was a suc-
cess and will long bo remembered
with pleasure by all' who were pres
ent and I know that I voice tho sen-
timents of the officers and members of
the 0 D Chapter when tender their
earnest htanks to every one who by
their invitation took part in and con-
tributed to such success
