Remembered by Children.
The. associate met in Armory Hall,
where it's headquarters has recently
been established. The members were
agreeably surprised to find in the hall a
present from the Children of the Con-
federacy, consisting of a carpet for the
rostrum, several handsome chairs and
a table. A letter conveying informal
ton of the gift stated that a curtain
for the rear of the stage was also to
be given, but the bad weather had pre-
vented it's completion in time to put in
place for this meeting. The same let
ter conveyed an invitation to the vet
Grams to be present at a Hallow' cen
party, to be given by the Children of
the Confederacy on the afternoon of
Oct. 81.
Capt. L. c. Young will acknowledge
the receipt of the gifts and probably
some further and formal action will
be taken at the next regular meeting
of the association.
DIR. Fry's "Reminiscences.
The meeting of McLaws Camp was
also interesting from the fact that DR..
y. F. Frye, member of the camp.
who has recently made trip around
the world, told of his travels and i'm
pressions. His address was followed
by short talk made by Dr. E. d.
Newton, who has recently become a
resident of Savannah. Dr. Newton
was, during the Civil War, an officer
on the staff of DR.. Lafayette Guild,
chief surgeon and medical director of
Lees Army. The camp rendered both
gentlemen a vote OF thanks
Because of the disagreeable weather
each meeting had but a slim attend
2nce, and it was, therefore, impos-
sible correctly to estimate Just how
many of the members of either camp
will attend the reunion. 1t is under
stood that Gen. Clement A. Evans, be-
cause of the recent death of his wife,
will not preside at the reunion, and that
his place will probably be taken by
Gen. Peter McGlashan.
