Greetings to Arkansas

IN BEHALF OF THE UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

The Veteran expresses the gratitude and the pride of the United Confederate Veterans to comrades, to United Daughters of the Confederacy, to the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, and to the Confederated Southern Memorial Association upon the auspicious conditions under which they meet for the first time in Arkansas. This greeting is the heartier because the Arkansas Division, U. C. V. has done much more than its share in maintaining the organization on the high plane that has characterized it throughout its history. Comrades and Daughters have done well, and now the Sons of Arkansas are doing their duty.

Arkansas is the proud mother of the Confederated Southern Memorial Association, through the conception and leadership of Miss Sue H. Walker and Mrs. Elizabeth Pollard, of Fayetteville, and their associates (At Louisvill, Ky, May 30, 1900, Mrs. W. J. Behan, of New Orleans, was chosen President, and has served efficiently ever since.)

The numerous "Leading Articles" (contents) of this number are omitted.
