steps Taken Toward Erecting Monument
over Gen. Strahl's Grave.
LeOnidas Polk Bivouac and Will
lam Henry Trousdale Camp held an
interesting meeting in the Court
house last Monday, there being
large number of eX-Confederates
present from over the county.
The matter of attending the an
nual reunion of eX-Confederates at
Nashville June % "A, was discussed,
and it was decided that they should
go down and attend the meeting in
a body. \ committee composed of
Messrs. J. l.. Jones, j. Y. William
son and Lloyd Cecil was appointed
to secure headquarters and make
other necessary arrangements for
the Maury County delegation.
A committee composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen was appointed to
take steps toward erecting monu-
ment over the grave of General
Strahl, in St. Johns Cemetery, at
Ashwood: H. q. Evans, Chairman;
w. J. Whitthorne, j. II. Williamson,
r. D. Smith, w. b. Dobbins and j.
G. Williamson.
General Strahl was killed at the
battle of Franklin, and he, with
Generals Cleburne, Granbery,
Adams and Gist, who were also
killed at the same place, was buried
at Ashwood. Later on the bodies of
all, except Gen. Strahl, were re-
moved to other places and monu-
ments were erected to their mem
Dry. The grave of Gen. Strahl,
however, has remained in compare
tive obscurity, and his case appeals
forcibly to his Confederate COM
rades. Born and raised in North.
ern home, he came South when the
war broke out, enlisted himself in
the Confederate army, and fought,
bled and died in defense of a cause
he thought to be right. Surely his
comrades owe it to themselves and
to their native Southland to erect
suitable monument over the earthly
resting place of one so true and
brave.
J. j. Wilson, of Culleoka, was ap-
pointed committee of one to secure
a fife and drum aud make other
arrangements for music at the re-
union.
The BivOuac requests that all
members of the committee on pro-
visions send in their reports to-day
or tomorrow.

PYTHIAN KNIGHTS

Decorate the Graves of Their Dead
Brothers in Rose Hill.
Last Sunday afternoon large
number of the members of Column
bia Lodge of Knights of Pythias met
at their hall and marched out to
Rose Hill Cemetery, for the purpose
of decorating the graves of departed
knights.
The services which were simple
but quite impressive, were opened
with prayer by Rev. w. A. Pro-
vine. Hon. James A. Smiser made
an interesting address on the princi-
pies and purposes of the Pythian
order, which was enjoyed by all
after which the flowers, which were
beautiful and in the greatest pro-
fusion, were strewn on the graves of
the sleeping knights.
Following is list of the Pythlan
dead who are buried in Rose Hill:
Rev. Mr.. MaXey, Josh G.. Bailey,
Col. n. r. Wilkes, William Bick-
nell, William Meek, Rev, w. A.
Haynes, Clyde Addison, William
Hine, Fletcher McKennon, G.. w.

Damage to Property.
PARIS, June THE latest details from
Grenoble, in the department of Isare, show
that the desolation wrought by the cloud
burst which, caused the River Norge to
overflow it's banks, is far more extended
than was at first supposed. The deluge of
water caused landslides Of trees and sand
from the mountains into the valleys, over
whelming houses burying cattle and de-
stroying other property. In many villages
the fleeing inhabitants left everything be-
hind them. Almost all the riverside fac
tories were destroyed and no fewer than
five hundred workshops were wrecked. The
town of Voiron presents a lamentable APP
pearance. All the bridges are gone and the
streets filled with masses of debris
washed out from the factories and shops,
bales of CLOTH rolls of silk and similar
manufactured products, while the roads of
the town and the district roundabout are
impossible and choked with rocks and
fallen trees Voiron is without gas, as the
gas works have been destroyed. Many of
the principal merchants are absolutely
ruined and thousands of Workmen are not
only without employment, but without
shelter.
SO sudden was the on-rush of the waters
that hundreds barely escaped with their
lives. In many of the cafes and shops the
occupants were up to their shoulders in
water before they knew what had hap
pened. 1t is reported that a family of six
persisted. but thus far only two bodies have
beens found. Many stories are told of heroic
rescues. Along the whole valley the crops
are completely destroyed and the farms
themselves are all more or less damaged.
AS the waters slowly subside they leave be-
hind great stretches of mud, in which the
soldiers aided by the inhabitants, are work
ing ceaselessly at cutting channels to al
low the waters. gathered in hollows, to re-
turn to the river. The municipal authori-
ties have decided to blow up the dam at
CastelIon to facilitate escape of the water
which is still three feet deep in many
houses, especially at Moirans, where build
ings are constantly collapsing
