One OF the most enjoyable occasions
that has presented itself in Manchster
for long time was tho blowout given
at Odd-Fellows Hall last night by Joseph
e. Johnston Camp Confederate Veterans.
Much time had been spent In preparing
the feast, and tho time spent was aot
time spent amiss, for the old soldiers not
only enjoyed something better than the
rations they used to get, but they told
stories Of the old camp fires, and relatcd
the Incidents Of the career like boys in
d volunteer company after street car
strike f%v s
Commander Howlc gracefully prcsited,
and OCCASION was given all those wk0
had anything to say 10 say It. "a
At n late nour, after the most OF
Caterer o. <. Eoy's good things had been
captured by the enemy, the camp broke
ranks, and the members went home with
happy memories. ii
In starting the conversation Mayor
Maurice, IN few graceful words, intro
duced Judge Christian, who spoke for
half an hour on the achievements Of
General Leo and his corps Of great gem
erals. He did not fall to speak OF the
great work accomplished by the men be-
hind the guns.
. The camp drum corps played some,
Miss Cridlin recited and Professor Bel
cher's string orchestra Dispersed sweet
trains.
