WILL SOON
ORGANIZE

The last preliminary meeting. prior
to the organization of a camp of Sons
of Veterans in this city, will be held
this evening between z 80 and 8 80
O'Clock. in @. A. r. Hall. All sons
and grand sons of veterans Of the civil
war are urged to be present, so that
they can join the Camp as charter
members. Go prepared to become
identified with the organization, which
is expected to be instituted on Thurs
day evening, February 23.
The object of the Sons of Veterans
whose camp fires burn in nearly every
village. town and city in the United
States, is two fold. 1t furnishes
home of their own to the sons and
grand sous of the heroes who defended
their country during the dark days of
the great conflict between the North
and the South, and it will give the
old veterans place to drop into when
their ranks become too thin to main
tain longer a rendezvous in which to
meet their comrades in arms and re-
late their experiences during the war.
Already in many sections of the
Union, this has occurred. Grand Army
posts have been compelled to disband.
Their membership became too small
to longer keep up the organization
and the DOORS of the post rooms were
closed never to be opened again. 9th
er posts will soon follow. In few
years none will live. except in men,
ory. But when Grand Army post
passes from existence its few surviving
members are not entirely without
place of shelter. Their sons and grand
sons are looking after their welfare.
By simply taking the obligation the
old veterans can become members of
camp of Sons of Veterans and make
their home with the boys. For this
reason every town should have a camp,
and it is to be hoped that every son and
grandson of veteran in Danville will
join the Camp to be organized here
Over fifty have already signitied their
intention of becoming members
