There is a royal time in store for these grand old heroes of the "Lost Cause". The Central City has opened her heart and homes to them, and a cordial greeting and genuine Southern hospitality is given them. Today the parade takes place, and thousands of people will form the grand procession.
But only a few years more and the Confederate Reunions will be recorded among the historical events of the past; but the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy will ever strive to keep incense burning on the Southland's altar, and pay tribute to the memory of those who fought in her defense and surrendered with Lee at Appomattox.
Next Sunday, the 12th, will be observed as "Mother's Day", and all religious denominations in the U. S. will observe the day in some fitting manner. The national capital is making plans to observe the day and are asking all clergymen to select there texts for their sermons for the ocasion, and everyone will be expected to wear a white carnation, the chosen emblem of the day.
James L. Keen declares his candidacy for state senate for the 16th district in the August primary. The editor and manager of the Dublin Courier-Dispatch, Vivian L. Stanley is considering a run for that office also. He was born in Laurens County, and a son of lawyer Rollen A. Stanley, who was a veteran in the Confederate war of 1861 to 1865. His only motive is to dilligently look after the interests of Laurens, Johnson and Emanuel Counties.

Bray entertained with some well chosen words, assisted by Miss Bertha Bray and Mr. J. W. Vanlandingham.
Miss Alice Kent, the bright and pretty little daughter of Mr. & Mrs. T. V. Kent celebrated her 5th birthday at her home at corner of College and Valley streets. While at play on the front veranda at their home on College street, Janette, the pretty little daughter of Mr. & Mrs. R. B. Bryan fell from the banisters and broke her collar bone.
Mrs. Morgan Outlaw, one of the oldest residents of Wrightsville, is critically ill at her home in this city. Her son, Mr. John Outlaw of Bartow, and her daughter, Mrs. Ann Hester of Augusta, have been called here by her illness.
Mrs. Florence Adelaide Morel announces the engagement of her daughter, Nodia, to Mr. I. L. Llewellyn, of Newport News, VA. The wedding is May 23rd. Rev. & Mrs. J. W.

Mr. J. E. Brantley, Sr. writes about his planting of Christopher's Improved Cotton Seed that he purchased at the Macon Fair in the fall of 1910. He planted the bushel of seed in May 1911, and used seven loads of compost valued at $5 per load. Fourteen hundred pounds of 9,2,3 guano; 500 lbs nitrate of soda; that and the cost of preparing and culivating the land, picking, ginning, hauling from gin to market cost him a total of $134.95. Now here are his credits in a nutshell: 7,368 lbs seed cotton which made 5 bales, weight 527 lbs each. Sold said 5 bales for $272.85. 150 bushels seed at $1.50 per bushel which is at half price. This gave him a net profit of $562.90 from the bushel of seed. Who can beat that? He says if there is a farmer in Johnson County can beat it he would like to hear from them.
