Talk About Badges.
Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, had
their weekly meeting last night.
There v-asa GOOD deal of discussion about
the Camp badge.
A wear or so ago the members in the
spirit of fraternity exchanged badges with
members OF the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie posts and other military organizations
North and South, so that the Confederate
Veterans badges went INTO tho possession
of a great many different people.
The Camp thinking it wise TO adopt a
rule to prohibit members giving their
badges away, DID so about q year ago.
At the meeting last week q resolution
was introduced to rescind that order. IL
came up last night for discussion, and after
the matter had been fully talked over it
WAS decided not to rescind the order.

modatons after they reach here. These

South.

ran at the unvellmg.
WHAT THY WANT TO DO.
The committee hope to get all railroad
companies to make a reduction so that the
cost of travel to the military will not be

One of the members Of the committee
said last night
Those that we have decided to invite
must come by all means. We are deter
mined TO have them here. Among those
troops are many boys of southern birth
In those organizations are some Of the best
men of the North, and whenever we have
been 20 New York they have shown us
more kindness than we can ever return.
Now that we have an opportunity TO return
their courtesies We are going TO do so. No
