Confederate Treasury subject of area talk

Subject: for anyone interested " The Confederate Treasury " by Dr. Mark Waters   The program for the   June 4   (2015) regular meeting of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, TRR Cobb Camp #97, will be provided by Dr. Mark Waters, historian and professor at the University of North Georgia. Dr. Waters will provide a talk on how the Confederate Gold got all the way down to Georgia.  When the Confederate Treasury was evacuated from Richmond on the night of April 2 nd , 1865, no one could have predicted the convoluted path it would take over ensuing weeks.  It seems like a precious cargo like the Confederate Treasury would have been taken to a safe location and locked up under heavy guard.  It clearly didn't happen this way.  The saga of the Confederate Gold is one of the most interesting Civil War stories; also, taking place Wilkes County, Georgia.  The talk will cover its final disposition, what happened to it, what was accounted for, and what was not.  The spe

You too can save an Oconee County dog or cat from death row

The current Oconee County policy toward dogs returned to the Animal Shelter is one that can kill canines if no one adopts or fosters them soon enough. There was just such a case recently with a graduate student unable to travel with a 70 pound pit bull terrier to her new location, and she was forced to return the dog she was fostering at the time to the Oconee County Animal Shelter down in Bishop. Lucky for this dog named Katrina, there are some amazing and dedicated volunteers who will walk and talk about these animals until someone can find the time and ability to invite them into their homes and hearts.  I had an elderly dog named Josephine recently pass after 15 full years, and halfway through attempting to give away her food I thought about why get rid of all the considerable infrastructure of taking care of a pooch? Then I saw a plea for saving a dog from death row at the Oconee County Animal Shelter.  I decided to initially foster then adopt a lovely y
