The camp fire given by Overton
Post last Friday evening was grand
success in every particular. Odd Eel
lows hall was filed to its utmost ca
pacity and fully 300 people partook Of
the Inequalities extended by the old
soldiers.
The entertainment consisted of vo-
cal and instrumental music, address
es, army stories, readings, etc, after
which bountiful New England sup
per was served.
After singing "Just before the Bat
tie" by the choir, Commander j. d,
Gillespie delivered very neat and
appropriate address Of welcome.
Then solo by Mrs. Pearce was re-
ceived with much applause.
Comrade Cressy, the worthy pastor
of the M. e. church, who served in
the ranks during the war for the I'm
ion, gave us a most admirable talk,
full of interesting incidents of the
war amusing, pathetic and thrilling.
It was just such a talk as was re-
quired for the occasion, and was
greatly enjoyed by all present. The
closing words were words of patriot
ism and oloquence. The address was
loudly applauded.
The audience was then treated with
more music by the choir.
Comrade Fl. T. Bevans, who is a.
ways ready to say something good on
such occasions, was called upon, and
in response, after few Introductory
remarks, related a most interesting Incl
dent of Col. Colville of that grand old
regiment, the First Minnesota, illus
trating in a most forcible manner how
mans mind under certain circum-
stances wanders from pathetic to
amusing, from sublime to ridiculous.
When he concluded there was per
feet storm Of applause.
Solo by Mrs. Pearce, finely rend-
cred and enthusiastically received.
r. G. Stevens gave short descrip-
ton of the fighting around Chatta
nooga and the battles around Look
out Mountain and Missionary Ridge.
Then all joined in singing " March
ing through Georgia"
Col. A. FL. Taisey was called out,
but the Col. being an old vet who full
" understands the old soldiers weak
ness, said that those present wouldnev-
er forgive him if he should delay them
from partaking Of the rations which
had been prepared for the occasion,
SO he refused to make speech. Of
course the old soldiers cheered.
After more singing Com. Gillespie
read very amusing piece entitled
"Jake Snyder's Ride"
Then came the transferring in of
new recruit" which created much
merriment. This closed the formal
exercises.
Miss Victoria Cumberland presided
at the organ and gave the audience
some excellent music by way of ac
compartment to the singing.
At about 11:3O supper was served,
which was partaken of in a manner
that gave the most satisfactory evil
dence that it was we'll appreciated.
The Overton Post camp fire for
1892 will long be remembered by all
who were present on the occasion.
