ISI.ALSKY, Manager of The Famous UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY Hold a Most Enthusiastle Meet ing and Remember the Old Veterans. Winm. Walker Chapter U. D. C. held an unusually well attenled. enthusiastic and delightful meet ing at the elegant residence of Mrs. Philip Bernstein and Nettie Bernstein last Wednesday after noon. A number of very interesting papers were read and some beau tiful music rendered. A committee was appointed to solicit contrtbutions for the Christmas box to be sent to the old soldiers at their Home, Camp Nicholls, New Orleans, on Decem ber o1th. The members will meet at the residence of the President, Mrs. A. B. Nelson, to pack the box. The devoted members of this Chapter always respond gener ously to this cause, and the old soldiers, whose number grows smaller each year, are made un usually happy and grateful on this occasion. Delightfal refreshments of hot chocolate, cake, custards, fruit and nuts were served. The de corations in the dining room were beautiful and tastefully arranged, carrying out the color scheme of the association. Several vus!tors enjoyed meet ing with the Daughters. The Churches Sunday. Despite the wintry atmosphere, last Sunday, the air was crisp and invigorating, while the bright sunshine induced more than the ordinary number of people to enjoy these conditions. Both the Baptist and Methodist churches were filled with worshippers and the services more than ordinarly interesting as marking the close of the year of miui.stration of the miniiters in charge. At the Metholist Episcopal church, South, Rev. C. B. Carter, of Ruston, presiding eller, filled the pulpit morning and evening and held the quarterly meeting, his last visit in that official posi tion, being the last year of his quadrennium in this district. Rev. J. R. Edwards, the Bap tist minis.ter, who was called to fill the pulpit, preached an unu sual impresc.ive dliscui.se to a large congregatiou, at the morning service. So ..atisfactorv has been his ministrations. so earnest his zeal in the discharge of his duties that his congregation here have expressed the desire to retain him in his position. lie has greatly endeared himself to the people during his residence in Winnfiell. and all realize that his pla. o would be difficult to fill. Thus the Sabbath day was, fraught wirli blessing', and tinged with a beauty of air and sky that elicited expressions of delight amil a thorough appreciation of the combined attractions of the fia~t wintry visitation of the season. Fire Department. The citizens are requested to assemble at the Court liouse next Tuesday evening to take steps to form a fire department for the protection of their property froum copfagration. As this is a mat ter of vital importance to every property holder, it is hoped that there will be a prompt and num erous response to this call and the proper interest manifested in an organization of. effcient com panies to battle the fire nood. This is one-of the most important matters that can claim the con sideration of the citzens. Let the response be enthuslstia, sum erous and earnest, as vitally ee-- nected with the present and future safety of the homes of WinaIekd. The celebrated Oliver L.innlg Candies at Wood Grocery no.
