MEMORIAL DAY.

A beautiful day and pleasant one

gave opportunity for Post So G. A.
r. and Camp 7 Sons of Veterans and
their relatives and friends TO make
the Memorial Day exercises more
than ordinarily interesting and inn
pressive.
In the early morning the Captain
of Camp Z and members of the Post
and others decorated the grave of
Capt. p, NJ. Pryor for whom the
Camp was named.
At lam Post So, G. A. r. held
a special meeting and the different
details reported, the decoration of
forty graves IN different parts Of the
County, an arduous duty, some of the
Comrades having to leave their
homes at sunrise and travel Is to 25
miles to reach the scattered burial
places. Comrade S. +. Smith, of
Whitwell took in as his share II
graves and deserved and received
the thanks of the Post for his heavy
mornings work.
The Post added two new members
to their roll and adjourned.
At special meeting of Camp Z
four new members were elected and
two mustered into the Camp.
Under the pleasant shade and in
the cool surroundings of the Blowing
Spring, Columbus ParF, a busy and
pleasant duty of emptying many well
filled baskets was diligently perform
ell and there was a verltable reunion
of comrades and friends.
At las p. m, the line was formed
for Owen churchyard, where the
Post under escort of Camp I and
some thirty children, performed the
decoration service, and then at the
stand in the grove near the church
