CONFEDERATE CAMPS.
Some Reasons for Their Organlza-

have Of late been asked, writes
VI. c. In the FIncastle Herald, what Is the
object Of the Confederate Veterans Camp?
L. it Of any good? VIII IT accomplish
anything?
In tho first place, would say that
one of the objects II to get fuii roster
OF all the cd Confederate veterans VINO
are alive that were faithful until the close
Of the war; who were not ashamed OF
their cOlOrs. and followed them as brave
men. and fought as good and true soldiers
until they were overp0wered by tn times
their number. and who won name that
their children will never be ashamed
or
And in the second place. to get his
tory OF our fallen comrades who fell on
the field of battle, never 10 answer
roll-call on this side OF the border land
and also those who died during AMI since
the war.
And. i'm the third place. one OF its main
objects is TO get up such historical iacts
and incidents that cannot be gotten any
other way. for we all know that many
incidents come under the observation or
different ones that have never been re-
lated. and Will finally be lost II there y
40 way 10 get IL into the knowledge or
those who will make a note OF H.
And fourth, there are "A number OF OLD
veterans who are without means, nome
or friends; who are depending on IN"
public for support. and should be IN the
Soldiers Home at Richmond. Va, place
prepared and kept up by the State for all
such old veterans. Now, IL Is the duty or
all the camps to look after such Of their
old comrades and have them cared for
in this home. Ii Is important that each
and every camp hunt up al such ola
soldiers and see 10 having them placed
in the home for old Confederates.
There are other reasons why there
should be a camp of Confederate veterans
In each county. | would say that II
brings the old veterans close together
and they can talk over the long march,
on hard-fought battles and camp-hfe-
all OF which will revive past memories
Of what was seen and took place during
those four years OF military strife.
We have organized in Botetourt coun-
~ the Peachy Glmer Breckenridge
Camp OF Confederate Veterans. and would
be glad To have all the old veterans.
who stood like men 10 the last. or had
an honorable discharge during the war,
TO join the camp. and become active
members, and help TO get up all hstori-
cal facts and incidents that we may have
done our part in helping 10 get ny a true
history OF the late war between the
States. We all know that the South
has not so far had justice done. nor pro-
perly recognized in history. and IL We
ever are properly reported, we will have
TO see to IT, and now is the time. or
never: for in a few more years there
will be no old Confederates 10 report. The
roll-call will be ended,
As we have a permanent organization
In the county. all old veterans who are
entitled to join should do so. and help

A Good Woman at Rest.

A dark cloud of sorrow has gathered OCT us, since the death angel visited our midst, and car ried away onr friend and neigh bor, Mrs. Margaret Brown. Mrs. Brown was a dear, good woman, and much loved by all who knew her. She was so sweet-spirited and so kind, always lending a helping hand to the unfortunate, speaking a kind word to the de- spondent and visiting the sick, for whom she had so much sympathy.
 Mrs Brown had a fall during the sleet, which broke her arm, and she was never well again. During her illness she was very patient. It was the writer's privi- lege to visit her several times dur ing her illness; but never heard her murmur or complain. She was a good wife and devoted mother. Her husband asked her the night of her death how she felt to which she replied "all pains will be easy by morning" and ere the rise of the morning sun, she had fallen asleep. The groans of her broken hearted hus- band, and the sobs and cries of her children and friends disturbed her not-she was dead.
 May her life be an example to the young, for whom she felt so much interest. God bless the be- reaved ha band and children, and
