Southern Crosses of Honor.
On Saturday .afternoon, Oct.
8th, Frank Taylor Chapter U. D.
C. of Rusk, bestowed the South-
ern Cross of Honor on forty-two
Confederate Veterans, members
of Ross-Ector Camp U. C. V.
Following a call to order by
the President, Mrs. Jas. P. Gib-
son, Rev. L. B. Elrod opened the
exercises with a beautifully
worded and appropriate prayer,
after which Chas. B. Emanuel in
his usual style of eloquence ad-
dressed the Veterans, in behalf
of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, presenting them with
the Cross of Honor. The secre-
tary then alphabetically called
the names of the applicants, who
responded by forming in line,
when the President pinned on
their Crosses. They were dis-
missed by Rev. Elrod, and in-
vited by the President to mingle
in an informal reception and
partake of refreshments pre-
pared by the willing hands of
the Daughters. It is hard to
decide to wThom was given the
greatest pleasure—the Veterans
or the Daughters. The scene
will doubtless live long in the
memory of both.
Commander M. J. Whitman
of the U. C. V.’s called the
Camp to order and introduced a
resolution, of love and thanks to
Frank Taylor Chapter U. D. C.,
putting it to a rising vote, which
was unanimously adopted.
This Chapter is constantly in-
creasing in membership. There
are forty-five members and
seven applications to be yet
acted on. They are doing, a
good work, not neglecting those
living, and caring for the
dead. Perfect harmony pre-
vails in the Chapter, the mem-
bers of which love and honor

President.
