nufsed you back to yigor from the
feebleness of wounds and want, from
the wretched woe of your losses, and
who pointed the dying gaze Of your
fellows to the heaven which stopped
to enfold them.
Your eyes shall behold for them
selves the city which proudly wrapped
herself in your patriotic flames, from
which she has emerged q thing OF
beauty and a Joy for always.
You shall revisit the battlehelds
which have been consecrated by your
blood, and where, if you lost your
country, you found fame that fills
the world.
Heartily helped by our city and
her citizens, we are building for you
a place of reunion in which ten thous
ands of you may make the welkin ring
to the music of Dixie and to the
chorus of the Rebel yell.
On somo appropriate day of the
Reunion you shall be part and parcel
of the rearing of that monument
which shall be to Jefferson Davis, not
merely because he was your President
and dwelt as such in the capital OF
your Confederacy, but because he
was the unspeakable type of that in
effable manhood which made the
armies Of the South.
During your stay here there will
be many bivouac, where, not in
bravado or disloyalty, but for sweet
memory's sake, will be sung over
again the old songs, told over again
the old tales, fought over the old
fights, yelled again the old yell, and
raised again the old flag.
Come, then. Come to our hearts
and homes and to these biyouacs.
Before we pass to the great beyond
we ought to have one more bout and
toast together. The toast shall be
to our own memories and to our
Confederate comrades wherever they
may be; but it shall carry along with
it brave blessing for our fellow
citizens everywhere, a determined
devotion to the safety, honor, and
welfare of the entire country.
PEYToN WISE, Chairman.
The delegates to the Charleston
convention are: Capt. J. 81. Counts,
Paul P. Clark, Capt. S. NJ. Roof, DR..
W. T. Brooker, and F. W. Oswalt.
The probability is that a large
number of the veterans Of this county
will avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to visit the beautiful and
hospitable city by the sea, and 60
over again the places where they
stood guard over the approaches to
the city; in those days which tried
mems souls.
Those to the Richmonds reunion
are: Rev. N. S. Younginer, DIR. G. E.
Leaphart, D. T. Hare, M. D. Harman,
Jasper S. Derrick.
The railroad leading to Richmond
have arranged to grant rate of one
cent a mile for each mile travelled to
all visiting military and Confederate
organizations attending these cere-
monies, and quarters will be fur
nished all visiting organizations
All survivors can go to Richmond at
the same railroad fare and receive
the same hearty welcome as dele
gates if they will arrange to 60 in a
body by notifying Adjutant Harman
in time for him to notify the chair
man of arrangement at Richmond.
The Camp donated 81 to an indi,
gent comrade and authorized com
rade P. Fl. Craps to look after him
and notify the camp if any further
assistance was needed.
