The Georgia Hussars decided at their
quarterly meeting last night TO give ba-
ar in the spring, probably during the
week lust following Easter.
In his annual report, Capt. Belrne Cor
don referred to the matter, showing why
If was necessary for the troop to raise a
small amount of money. and a report on
the subject was made by Chairman F. D
rloodworth of a committee appointed t.
consider the question. This committee
thought it advisable to have a bazar, and
50 recommended.
The question was put before the troop,
and it was decided that the bazaar should
be given. 1t is by no means the intention
Of the Hussars to give such bazar as
they did several years ago. but one that
will last about week, in which time they
hope TO raise somewhere in the neghbor-
hood of 5000, in order to dispose of GER
tain accounts which the troop feels it
would be better to have off its hands.
It is understood the Hussars do not ex-
pect to have to make many calls upon
their friends for contributions. They will
rely largely upon their own resources in
working the matter up, and on the aid of
their lady friends. The following COM
mittee was appointed to look into the mat
ter and make all preliminary arrange
ments: Messrs f. d. Bloodworth, J. C.
Postell j. =. Merrihew, L. S. Elliott, and
Isadore Silverberg. The committee was
given the power to make such additions
to its membership as it considered desira-
bic or necessary.
Relative TO the resignation of Lieut.. A
Minis the troop unanimously adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, First Lieutenant Abram Min
is has seen fit to sever his connection with
this troop, which for the past fifteen
years he has served with distinction and
honor both to himself and to the troop
and
Whereas, He has at all times labored
assiduously to subserve the best interests
of the troop in a manner exemplary 10
all who love our command, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Georgia Hussars
do sincerely appreciate the valued SerV-
ices rendered by First Lieut.. Abram
Minis during his long and continued active
membership and will eyer remember the
sacrifices he has made in behalf of the
troop, his ever readiness to obey the call
of duty, and to at all times unhesitadnSly
and unselhshly labor to uphold the high
standards which have been erected by the
labors and devotions of those who, like
himself, have held the troop first in their
affections.
Resolved, further, That this troop,
realizing the deep loss of so good and
valued an officer and trooper do, II
meeting assembled, hereby record their
feelings of loss and misfortune, and pray
that similar success and honor may at
tend all the labors of his life.

resolutions be inscribed upon the minute
book of the troop, and that a copy be en-
