VETERANS TO CAMP
When the state Guard Gets Through
With Its Encampment at Camp Ay-
cock-Old Confeds will Move In for a
Stay of Three to Tel Days.

At the last meeting of Cape Fear
Camp, No. 254, United Confederate
Veterans, a committee was appointed
to consider the matter Of having a re-
union and encampment Of confederate
veterans at Wrightsville when the
state guard finishes its encampment at
Camp Aycock.
The proposition has met with enthu-
siasm on the part Of veterans all over
the state and the result has been that
when the last regiment of the state
guard finishes It's encampment the old
confeds will have an encampment of
from three to ten days. They will use
the same tents as now used by the
state guard, and will go into camp
August 14th which is the day hat the
First regiment of the state guard will
complete us encampment.
Captain James 1. Nets, commander
OF cape Fear camp and one of the COM
mittee to arrange for the ehcampment
Of the veterans, is very active in get
ting up the encampment for the old
soldiers. Major II. A. London. of Pitts
boro, adjutant general Of the North
Carolina dlvisicnfi L. c. V, writes
Captain Nets that he has succeeded in
getting all the railroads in the state TO
give the veterans and their families and
others who desire to attend this en-
campment of the confederate a rate OF
one cent per mile. same as the rate
given to The state guard. Tickets will
be sold August 18th, 18th and 14th, good
for the continuous passage and return
trip until August oath. Major London
says:
I'VE will require every person apply
ing for accommodation in tents to show
a certificate from his camp commander
or from the clerk OF the superior court
in counties where there is no camp, GER
tifying that he is a veteran who served
and quite the service honorably."
A general order to this effect will be
issued soon, and Major London hopes
to have a full attendance. Veterans
will be notified TO carry Or bring their
rations, and they are informed h IA they
may rent cots from the furniture
houses in Wilmington.
The encampment committee from the
Cape Fear camp consists Of Captain
Jas. 1. Nets, DR.. j. E. Matthews and
Captain W. p. Kenan, and they VIII
spare no efforts to make the encamp-
ment OF the veterans a success.
Wilmington Will be glad TO have the
veterans mere and we hope their en-
campment viii be a big success. About

In due time the edifice was dedi-
Gated to the serv .ce of God. Here
He met with His people and blessed
them by His continued presence and
increased their numbers. So faith
fully was the word preached and so
regularly and well attended were the
appointments Of the church maintained
that frequently the rooms were
crowded until there was scarcely
standing space. Together the TEN.
poral and spiritual moved forward
hand in hand. The people plead with
God for frequent showers of blessing.
and upon them was poured the spirit
Of the living God until there was not
room to contain the people.
During the years intervening be-
tween 1879 and 1898 so rapid had
been the growth of these unselfish
and untiring workers that what was
once considered large church fell
far short of affording seating capac-
ity for the active church membership,
and once again the society was COM
PEELED to cast about for new and
larger home. The site this time was
the northeast corner at the intersec-
tion o. Main and Eighth streets.
Past experience now availed much; /;
careful attention was given to every
detail in plans and execution, and
when completed the new First Meth
odist was an editice that was credit
to our beautiful city, and worthy
monumen' to the untiring fidelity of
Canon City Methodists to the church
of their choice.
The landmark given above has been
demolished and in its stead will rise

house for our enterprising dry goods

rHE MARCH OF TIME.
Old Landmarks Give Way to Busi.
ness Growth and Fine
Edifices.

One of the most familiar edifces so
long standing in the midst Of business
interests in this city was the first
Methodist church-the home of Meth
odism in this section of the Arkansas
valley, if not indeed of this entire
section of Colorado.
During the boom Of mining excite
ment and the general hurry to what
is now Leadville, Canon City came to
be recognized as a prominent supply
and Quitting point. 1t was, there
fore, not surprising that few of the
sturdy adherents of Methodism found
themselves thrown into the company
of those whose high est hope was to
obtain the shining metal, and look
after matters of spiritual nature at
a later date. Nothing daunted, these
few pioneers banded themselves to-
gether and entered upon the work Of
evangelizing the careless and indiffer-
ent. A small society was formed
about 1864, former attempt, probs-
bly, made in 1861, having failed, not
withstanding the strenuous efforts of
one Rev. johnson who came here from
Kansas.
The movement in 1864 was headed
by Rev. George Murray, and through
his efforts a building was purchased
for use as church. For mary years
this building was used for store pur-
poses, and at present is the site of
the Agard Hardware store. At first,
however, the Methodists, with all
other denominations, met in large
room over a store-the present site
of the store occupied by the Smith
Mercantile company-owned and con-

Il Is Up TO the People.

The Peabody Military Band after
numerous requests has decided to
open the concert season in the city
park the first week in May, providing
the city and citizens will give them
proper support in the way of sub
scription to be paid once month, to
run until October.
The band during the time it has
been in existence, not quite year
and half, have expended on uniforms,
instruments, band stand, director,
music, ETC., $2,S65, and with the ex-
ception of $500 donated by the citi-
zens, the full amount has been paid
by the individual members of the
band.
1t costs money to keep a band in
existence; to buy music, pay the di-
rector and other expenses, and the
band therefore expects a liberal al.
lowance for this seasons concerts,
which will consist of all up-to-date
and popular music
