TO THE VETERANS
The executive committee OF Stone
wall Jackson camp has the pleasure
to announce that the long delayed
crosses of honor have at length arriv.
ed, and were distributed by Mrs. Nc
Cullough and assistants of J. E. b.
Stuart Chapter United Daughters of
the Confederacy, as far as practicable
at the meeting of the camp on Tues
day night, April 10th.
The honor was bestowed upon those
whose names have been placed on the
adjutant's roll upon the requisite
proofs of eligibility, and who appeared
in person to claim the same, or whose
written order thereof was certified by
the camp. AS this notice was short, a
like opportunity will be presented at
a future meeting.
Under the rules adopted by the
donors the name of each recipient is
to be engraved upon the pin bar of his
CROSS, and the chapter was to bear the
expense of this where the veteran wa,
not able to do it. But it is our pleas
ing duty to announce to the veterans
that Mr.. David l.. Switzer, the vel
known and popular jeweler of No.
E. Main street, has generously volun
teered, as compliment to the old con
federates, to have all the one hundred
and fifty eight crosses thus engraved
free of cost, by the skillful handiworE
OF his assistant in that department
Mr.. G. ID. Garwood.
