Confederate Veterans.

l hereby cordially invite all
ex-Coniederates either of the
army or navy, who are in good
standing, to come forward and
join Lafayette county Camp.
| give this invitation by authori-
ty of Lafayette county Camp
No. s52. We will gladly vel
come you to membership.
We desire to keep alive the
memory OF the great struggle
in which We participated, to get
together material for the future
historian and we desire TO help
each other. Our organization
is benevolent one. No Con-
federate soldier or sailor ought
to remein out of this orginisa-
ton.
No true Confederate soldier
is ashamed of his past record:
each one owes 1t TO himself and
family to take all needful steps
to preserve the good name he
made and hand it down as IA
valued legacy TO posterity. The
character of private soldier
who served bravely and patri
otieally is as important aud as
dear as that of u commanding
general.
Comrades let us not neglect
this any longer. Come forward
and give your names to Adju-
tant John F. Brown and be en-
rolled. We expect to have our
next meeting April 10Th. En-
roll your names before that
time with AdjUtant Brown so
he can present your names for
membership April 10th, and you
can be present at that meeting.
1 would also urge all the pres
enr members to attend that meet
ing.
At our last meeting a resolu-
tion was passed requesting each
member of Lafayette county
Camp to see the ex-Confede-
rates living in his neighborhood
and invite them TO join the Camp
and attend our next meefing
There are many reasons why
this should be done. Let US
attend to this now. Some of
our dear comrades are passing
away every year. We helped
to make the most thrilling chap.
ter in American history; let us
not now treat lightly the part We
took in it.
