REGULAR MEETINGS IMPORTANT.
Too muct Importance cannot be given
to the matter of having your meetings
at regular times and in inviting ladies and
veterans to be present. The meetings
should be as popular and well advertised
as possible, and every effort made to
IA hoy no Of I, I
OF the community.
Special attention is also called to the
clause in our constitution in regard to
securing the writing by veterans of their
various experiences during the war. No
thing is more interesting or valuable
than these personal "reminiscences, and
camps should do all that they can to
secure such while these sturdy fighters
are Still with us.
Every general order and other commun-
ication from the COMMENCEMENT ef
should be read in full at the first meet
ing of the camp held after its receipt,
and prompt action should be taken on
all matters mentioned in it that can be
acted on by the camp or, its menebers.
Every camp, at least, and as many
members as possible should subscribe to
some Confederate Journal. In no other
way can they keep in touch with events
IN our order, Or with those in kindred
organizations; and the general fund of
information contained in them is very
valuable. THE Lost Cause" Louisville
Ky. and The Veteran Nashville
Tenn, publish regularly several columns
concerning our organization, and Will be
found generally very interesting and in
structive.
