DINoudc, odtuFuhyi july 4, D. N.
Kaimey and JAS E. Moseley were
elected members in full fellowship.
Maj. E. S. Burford, of Memphis, was
elected an honorary member.
The Bivouac passed the following
resolution of thanks to the ladies':
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Bivouac be extended to the ladies Of
GAINESVILLE who so kindly assisted us
on the 18th of June, and so cheerfully
expended their time and labor, as well
as their means, in aiding the soldiers
of the Lost Cause to erect a monu-
ment to their dead chieftan, Jefferson
Davis. In the name of ourselves and
our dead comrades we express graft
tude to the heroic women of Mont
gomery county, who so bravely up
held the arms of our soldiers during
their long struggle and have
cherished since so tenderly the mem
Dry of those who fell.
Also the following to Hayden band
and the drum corps:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Bivouac be extended to the members
of Hayden brass band, for the gener-
Gus contribution of their services on
the 18th inst, Davis day; and also to
he young men of the drum corps for
their valuable aid on the occasion.
We appreciate the fact that the mem
bers OF these two organizations not
only volunteered and gave us fine
music gratuitiously thus adding much
to the interest and enjoyment of the
occasion, but that in doing so many
of them lost the value of their days
services elsewhere, which was mat
ter of consequence to them.
They also voted the thanks of the
BivOuac to M. V. Ingram for the zeal
he has displayed in his continued
efforts in behalf of the monument
here to the Confederate soldiers, to
his efforts in behalf of the JEFF. Davis
monument, and to his great and un
firing interest in the cause generally.
The invitation to attend reunion
of StoneWall Jackson Bivouac at Nc
KenZie was acknowledged and
promises made to attend.
The resignation of Col. Young as
vice-president was accepted and Gen.
w. A. Quarles was elected to the pc
sitiOn. G. STACKER, Sec'y.
After the adjournment of the
Bivouac, Gen. Quarles, chairman of
the committee on barbecue and re
union, called the committee to order.
The meeting was very well attended,
and the question of time and place
generally discussed. Henry's grove,
the grove opposite Greenwood Gem
etery and Dunbars cave were all con
sidered, and after general discussion
it was decided that it would not do to
have the reunion earlier than fall,
and Pat lIenry's grove, near the city,
was selected as the most suitable
place for that time. Thursday, Oct.
|, was fixed as the time.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr.,
Thompson for generous offer of the
cave.
The character of the entertainment
and dinner were also discussed, and
it was left with the solicitors to de
eide as to the dinner, or rather to
have both picnic and barbecue, let
ting those who preferred sending
pigs and lambs to be barbecued do so,
and Others might provide a picnic
dinner.
The question of raising funds tor the
monument to the Confederate dead
was discussed, and it was decided to
try to raise the necessary funds during
the next thirty days, or get near
enough to give out the order and have
the monument erected for unwilling
on Oct. /, the day of the picnic.
Judge Tyler presented some beautiful
designs, photographs of the monu-
ments erected at Nashville, Column
bia, one in South Carolina, one in
Georgia and other places, these mon
uments cost from $4,000 to $1,000 and
one $4,000, marble shaft at Nash.
vile. Contractors who submitted
propositions agreed to have the mon
ument completed and up in thirty
days after receiving the order.
The location of the monument was
also discussed. The sentiment was
decidedly in favor of locating it in
the city instead OF Greenwood GENE
terry. The committee originally hav-
ing the matter in hand decided to
locate it on the squire donated for that
purpose in Greenwood, but the
Bivouac has never acted on or con-
firmed that decision, and it was
thought from the experience of other
places that the Greenwood location
would be a mistake, and the matter
should be seriously considered before
the monument is erected.
