Resolutions o. Protect
Personal &c.

eve just had glorious time; never
| enjoyed day more IN our lives, was me
sentiment of ali who attended the re-
union OF the suryiying members of the
Chesterfield Troop held yesterday on
the farm Of Mr. David Moore, about
three and half miles from the city. The
attendance OF the old soldiers was large,
and the invited contingent WAS quito nu-
merous. The barbecue. prepared under
the care Of Private " Buck Fisher, was
superb, and the brunswick stew made by
Mr., Joe Brown WAS excellent. In fact
the dinner was Il first-class one, and the
liquid refreshments were not nj all scarce.
The day was spent most enjoyably IN a
sort Of do-Gs-you-pleaso way.
4 series OF resolutions IN respect TO the
memory of the late General Williams 9.
Wickhsm were adopted by a unanimous
standing vote. General Wickham was
very popular with the Chesterfield sol
diers as well as those OF all other parts of
the South where he was known.
The survivors decided TO hold reunions
at this place annually hereafter, and to
admit as members o: the association any
male member OF the family Of q deceased
comrade.
