MEETING OF VETERANS.
Camp Winnie Davis Contributes
to Widow of a Veteran.

| The regular monthiysmeeting of
Camp Winnie Davis, United Coo-
federate Veterans, was held yester-
day afternoon at the city hall. Quite
large number of veterans were in
attendance ana the meeting was full
of interest and enthusiasm.
After the meeting had been called
to order Adjutant Rhodus read let
ter from General Gordon, in which
he urged the camp to keep intact
and continue its growth. g. In this
letter the general cordially invited
the veterans to attend the reunion
to be held in New Orleans in April
He sid this promised to be the
greatest reunion of the old soldiers
ever held. ,--... v'
a committee composed OF w. J..
F. Ross, Col. NJ. w. Mcknight aud
II, NJ. Rhodus was appointed to look
after the matter Of transportation
to New Orleans. The best rate so
far offered is one cent a mile each
way, which would make the cost to
each veteran from Waxahachie
about $1,000. 1t is believed that a
still lower rate viii yet be obtained.
A letter from the widow of John
I. King, who was one time sheriff
of Ellis county, and gallant Con-
federate soldier, was read to the
camp. In this letter Mrs. King
said she was in dire distress and de-
sired the camp to assist her If it
could consistently do so. The vet
erans responded literally and quite
neat little sum was soon raised
for Mrs. King. Mr.. Jimmie Martin
and Mr.. o. a. Finley were made a
committee to go among the ex-sher-
ifs old friends in the city and So
licit aid for his widow. About S25
or $50 was raised and forwarded to
Mrs. King. The Sims-Watson Chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy,
also took the matter up and will
make an additional contribution.
One pleasing feature Of the meet
ing yesterday afternoon was the
presence of several Daughters of the
Confederacy.
