tage Ia not yet completed and will not
De plastered by Friday, but the work
upon 1t will probably be completed about
the middle of next week.
Comfade Lockwood said he understood
the cottage would be turned over by Mr..
LeclSy. lie was OF the opinion that that
duty ought TO be performed by the chair
man of the committee. This point was
debated, and II was finally decided that
az the matter had been left to the Execu-
tive Committee their action should not be
interfered with.
THEIR GRAND CAMP MEETING.
The report Of the Reception Committee
appointed TO make arrangements for the
meeting OF the Grand Camp. which are
given elsewhere. was received and the
programme was announced.

herd. Jr., ]. +. Cook, II. Lecky, Jr., and
Edwin Courtney.
Comrade Louis Spence raised the ques-
tion as TO whether or not the camp should
be represented at the meeting of the
ter some discussion Comrade Morrissette
moved that sixteen delegates should be
appointed TO the Grand Camp. and that
the same gentlemen appointed to the
Grand Camp. Sons of Veterans, should
serve. This was carried.
THOUGHT HE WAS sLIGHTED.
The only fly in the ointment OF the oc-
casion was the resignation of Comrade
Storrs, appointed by the Senior Camp as
member of the Executive Committee.
1t appeared that Mr.. Storrs felt that he
had been slighted in not being notified
OF meetings held by the committee How
ever upon explanation IL proved that the
business which had been transacted
without his knowledge was due to the Re-
ception Committee. and not the Executive
Committee, and several members OF the
camp poured Oil on the troubled waters
offering explanations. apologies, and com
pliments to Mr.. Storrs. all of which he
gracefully acknowledged, and finally he
withdrew his resignation.
HISTORIAN AND CORRESPONDENCE.
Lieutenant Morrissette moved that Com
rade Gray McAllister should be elected
historian and correspondent of the camp.
lie thought this was desirable, for the
Grand Commander of the United Confed-
what the camps were doing in this part
of the country, for he was frequently
rushing into print and urging them TO
take more decisive action on the history
question The motion was seconded by
Comrade Cox and was adopted.
The camp then adjourned.
Their Arrangements Perfected.
The Reception Committee Of the Sons
of Veterans met last night at o'clock
and discussed the arrangements made for
the meeting Of the Grand Camp Sons OF
Confederate Veterans, this week.
Some slight notifications were made in
the programme, which has already been
published in the Dispatch. Instead of
entertaining the sponsors and maids
of honor at Lakeside Park on Thursday

Of Nottoway Courthouse. would make the
response 10 the address of welcome to
