Sapelo station, and win be able TO enter

Bowmans battalion, which is now on pro-
vost duty, win remain. The movement of
the battalion at Augusta TO Savannah win
be so timed as to admit of the men going
from the train to the transport.
No regulars will be left at Augusta when
the battalion sof the Second leaves. 1t Is
said this may mean that no more volun-
teer regiments after the Fourth Tennessee
will be sent there to be mustered out of
the service. The regulars served as pro-
vost guard. The retention of battalion
of the Second here is taken as an indica-
ton that Savannah and not Augusta is to
receive the rest of the troops brought from
Cuba to be mustered out.

Absolutely Pure

absentees from the army in Bulloch. Eff
fngham and Screven counties, Georgia, to
be sent to their respective commands. He
succeeded in forwarding 500 officers and
men.
While engaged in this service, Gen. John
ston surrendered his army, April 26, 1860
at Greensboro, N. c. Lieut.. Branch now
attempted to reach the trans Mississippi
command of Gen, Kirby Smith, but before
he could carry out his purpose Gen. Smith
had also surrendered his army. He could
now only return to his home, and com
mence the pursuits, which four years be-
fore he had been TOO young to adopt.
Passing through these years of arduous,
and often desperate service, thrice disabled
by wounds tried by multiplied privation
and hardship, he had done his duty to the
cause he held sacred, and now he turned
his brave. manly face to the unfamiliar
burdens of peace, and lifting them upon
his broad shoulders, went his strong but
patient. upward way to prosperity.
Promoted to that office in 1882, he re-
manned during many years captain of the
Savannah Cadets, raising them to conspic-
uous distinction among the foremost mil
itary organizations of the country; but
peace never changed the quickened throb
of his heart nor relaxed the firmer grasp
of his swords hlt, as he dreamed of the
soldiers glory, and to him, no soldier S
glory so exalted as that of the conquered
cause.-the cause stern Cato would have
loved.
Capt Branch had faced sudden death
in countless forms by field and
food. Several persons had he rescued
from watery graves. He was the Red
buoy" TO those who would watch his peri
Ious ventures in the distant sea. and so,

Death" they opened quickly at last, but
not with surprise, to the brave spirit on
which they closed forever.
No citizen of this community was more
widely known than our deceased Vice Pres
ident In his vocation, he was firm with
out harshness, commanding without undue
exaction. In his public walk, he had gen.
ial greeting for a9l-for the needy and de-
serving he always held open heart and
generous hand, nor need they seek him,
for he was ever ready al their own doors
the children greeted him lovingly, as he
passed with CHEEKY smiles and tender ca
resses He seemed to be without an enemy
his friends were without number and so
at the last, a great concourse of the peo-
pie came from all quarters of the city to
participate in and witness the obsequies of
this true Confederate soldier and lamented
citizen.
Therefore, Resolved, That, we, the Of
ficers and members of the Confederate
Veterans Association cherishing deep APP
probation of the manly virtues of our
late vice president and comrade and de-
ploring his decease, hereby direct a copy
of these proceedings to be communicated
to his family, with the assurance Of our
sympathy in this great bereavement, and
that a copy be also entered upon the min
utes and be published in the gazettes of

ITS EIGHTEENTH YEAR.
Annual Meeting of the w. C. It. L. at
First Baptist Church.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Savannah held its annual meet
Ing in the lecture room of the First Bap-
list Church last night There was a very
small attendance. partly due 10 the IN
pleasant weather, and partly to the fact
that the people of Savannah have SEEM
ingly never taken any great interest IN
the work Of the organization.
Reports were submitted by the presi-
Mrs. Stevens, and the superintendent, Mr..
Lewis Stevens The reports were princi-
pally devoted to the work of the White
Ribbon Mission, which is conducted by
the union, and showed that in spite of the
restricted means, much good work has
been done during the year. Some addi-
tons and Improvements have been made,
giving additional facilities and convent
ences. Money is needed at present how
ever, to complete the work.
The rooms of the mission have been
thrown open 10 the soldiers and writing
materials furnished them. In addition TO
this, the union has done much work among
the soldiers distributing TO them Tesla
ments, tracts and Mr. Moodys books.
Many visits have been paid 10 the jail
and police station by the president, per-
mission, which was withdrawn some time
ago, having recently been given Mrs
Webb to make these visits. The presi-
dents report stated that while the union
is numerically weaker at present than at
any time in the eighteen years ofits his
tory, II is in more effective condition for
work than for some time past This is
due in part to the services of the efficient
superintendent and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs
Lewis Stevens, who have been in charge
since Jan. /
An address upon the temperance work
was delivered by Rev. J. c. Solomon of
Dublin. Mr.. Solomon was in attendance
upon the convention, and kindly remained
in the city at the request of the president
to deliver the address. The singing for the
occasion was led by Mr.. H. A. Wolfsohn
of Atlanta.

STOLE FLOWERS FROM GRAVES.
VaudaI Acts Perpetrated In Bona

VaudaI Acts Perpetrated In Bona
venture Cemetery.
Mr.. S. b. Palmer discovered a piece of
vandalism yesterday which is disgrace
to the parties who are guilty of it. Mrs.
Palmer and Mrs. Burras on Saturday
planted about two dozen geraniums, pam
sizes and other plants. on the grave of their
brother and father, Capt, John F. Whea-
ton, in Bonaventure cemetery.
On revisiting the lot yesterday they
found that almost one-thrd of the plants
had been stolen. 1t is suspected that they
were taken by parties who have lots in
the cemetery to decorate the graves of
their dead. 1t is almost impossible to con-
ceive of any one claiming to be respecta-
bic could commit such an act OF course,
among the many plants put down last
week 10 ornament the graves of loved ones
on Easter, il is impossible to Identify those
that were stolen, but suspicion points to
the perpetrators, and though they cannot
be reached by the law. as proof of the
crime is unattainable, it is the purpose
of those who have suffered, not so much
by the loss of the plants, as the desecra-
ton of the graves of their dead, to have
the keeper of the cemetery watch them
in the future
