the records from memory, but it was in
efectual, and the court was forced to
dismiss the appeal because of the incom-

LEE CAMP AND THE PARADE.

Several communications have appear
ed in the Gazette of late as to why the
veterans of Lee Camp will not turn out
in the coming parade, and the first one
assigned, viz: that they do not care to
appear in any parade other than that OF
a Confederate character, was good and
sufficient, requiring no apology or ex-
PLANTATION. AS to the reason that they
are too old to march, it is only neces-
sary to call attention to the fact that
among the most active business men OF
this community, as'well as elsewhere, are
ex-Confederate soldiers. Of course there
are Nestors in the camp and some who
by age and other causes are entitled to
a quiet corner in the chimney nook. "
But that does not prove that all are SUI
fering from decrepitude. On every
occasion and when Confederate soldiers
convene, it is the custom for some dear
old "baldheaded boy who in many in
stances was not young when the great
war broke out to mount the stand and
hammer into the ears of his
long suffering comrades, that they are
all in the last stages of decrepitude and
had best go home and prepare for the
great Valhalla. To such an extent is
It carried, that many are deferred from
joining the camps owing to the depress-
ing atmosphere engendered by these
lugubrious orators and writers. Let US
