The attendance was small, and besides

One of these committees consists of
Judge J. W. Roberts, Mr.. B. Il. Brown
and DR.. w. G. Kendrick, and was ap-
! pointed for the purpose of waiting upon
| the Ladies Memorial Association of Daw-
son and requesting in the name of thevet
Grams of the county that a Confederate
veteran be selected to deliver the memo

of veterans is expected to be out to
hear him.
Besides the address at this meeting,
officers of the camp for the ensuing year

A CARD FROM COMMANDER KAIGLER.
On account of the small attendance
the meeting of veterans held on the 18th
instant was adjourned until the 9Th of
April at 10 a. IN.
Now, comrades, let every one of the
Camp be present on that day-giye one
day to this sacred duty. Shall we neg
lect to meet and celebrate the deeds of
those braye and patriotic comrades who,
mid shot and she'll, followed our flag
and gave their lives and best blood to
cause for which they fought and loved ?
Yes, let us think of the memories of
those in ragged clothes who, on wintry
DAYS. trod the frozen sod tiDged with
the blood of bleeding feet unshod. We
know 1t is said by some tina! these camps,
reunions and memorial services ought to
be obliUerated and done away with.
ANY Confederate sOldier-we mean SOL
dier who bore his breast to the bullets
and underwent the hardships that such
soldiers did-who would for moment
entertain such an idea ought to have
the frowns and contempt of every vet
eran and the rising generation.
The Hon. j NJ Griggs has agreed to
deliver an address before the camp on
that day. Everybody is invited to meet
" tn us. VIM. kAIGLER'
Commander.
S. W. ARNETT, Secretary.

ton desire all, both ladies and gentle-
men, interested in celebrating Memorial
Day in Dawson to meet in the Office of
DIR. It. FL. Thurmond to morrow (Thurs>

for the exercises to be held this year.
Iu is earnestly hoped that there will be
a large attendance, and that the interest,"
manifested will result in making April
26th this year day long to be remem-
bered i'll honoring our fallen braves.
