DELIGHTFUL REUNION From the Florence Times, Fri., Sept. 2, 1921, p. 5. Confederate Veterans Entertained at a Splendid Barbecue by Sons and Daughters. On Wednesday the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy entertained at a barbecue at Mars Hill the soldiers of the Confederacy. The entertainment was a very delightful one, and largely attended. The attendance, in fact, was the largest body of old soldiers held in the county for years past, numbering about fifty, all sections of the county being represented. The proceedings were opened by a series of brief speeches, the orators being Messrs. R. T. Simpson, Major Downs, Senator Rogers and Col. C. W. Ashcraft. A most bountiful dinner was provided for the veterans, when Brunswick stew, barbecued lamb and pork, coffee and cake were served. During the day a photograph was taken by Mr. Landrum. The event was a most interesting one, gratifying to the guests of the occasion and duly appreciated. Among those especially contributing to the success of the occasion were Messrs. Herschel Larimore, Judge Hughston, Cal. W. Young, Senator Rogers, Charner Till, Judge Koonce, and last but not least, Billy Brown, who had charge of the culinary arrangements. The following is a list of veterans who were present: B. T. Allen H. D. Allen T. O. Bevis A. E. Bresler J. W. Boyd C. L. Blakely J. S. Brewer James Burtwell M. W. Camper E. D. Christian F. W.
