LANE-DIGGS CAMP.

The regular monthly meeting
OF the Lane-Diggs Camp Confed-
crate Veterans was held at Math-
ews Court House on June o,Iooo.
The meeting proved SO enthu-
astic and interesting that those
present found that there is life
left yet in the old Johnnies who
are III our midst. All OF us know
full we'll that the Youngest of our
number who returned home in
1865 is now going down the hill
OF time and will soon be what is
called an old man. 1t is the de-
sire OF the camp that every mem
Der be present at the next meet
ing, which will be held Saturday
July II, at 1870 P. NJ.
This being the time for the
election of officers, it is hoped
that each member will see to il
that the very best men be put on
guard so thar our camp be pushed
ahead, our aged and feeble mem
bers be cared for and last but not
least our monument fund be SO
handled that those of us now liv-
ing may see the desire of our
heart realized in the erection of a
monument in memory of our fall
len comrades. And as most of
us are going down the hill of
time and will soon be gone hence
whilst we are (as we sometimes
say in the land of the living. we
ought to remember that we are
in the land of the dying. / saw
recent statement made which
SAID the old soldiers Of the Civil
War were dying at the rate of
100 per day. That being the
case we must be assured the time
will soon come when we will have
to pass over the river and rest
under the shade of the trees.
The writer, who entered the ser
vice IN May, 1861, and returned
home June II, 1865. loves the
old Confederate soldiers so much
that he will take this method of
asking every one Of them are thew
ready to cross the river? And if
they are not, will they take the
advice as given by the Savior in
the nth chapter of Mark. as and
20 verses and to this add Mark |
18th chapter. 80 and 81 verses;
then make grand total by talk |
ng John 9Th chapter and Goth
verse, then they can have alltheir |
wants supplied.
Come to the next meeting. be
IN time and bring with YOU your
owed ones. all are invited, old
md young, male and female.
Bring with you such things as ic e
ream, cake. fruit or whatever is
onyenient that it may be put on

lent fund.- +

would unquestionably sweep the

We feel that this is true, and
that it ought to he true. We
have had no unkind word to say
of Mr.. Ohio F. Mears. We
have declared that we know
pothing of his political activity

also called upon his supporters
among the newspapers in the
district TO give the Democrats Of
the district something of his re-
cord along THIS line, saying that
Svhatever party services he had
FeHdered had never been either

Hon, VIM. A. Jones ever went
TO that section. Well, if
this be true, the Times evidently
dig not k4ow it before for, if so,
It would never have committed
itself to the statement that such
method OF campaigning was in
effective and that there had been

making q speech. Not only is
this true, bat we were informed

ofhclaily connected with the |
Democratic party in that county |

that Me-. Mears had never made

so far as be knew. BEt, all this
aside, we feel sure Mr., Mears is a

:. TWO TYPES. OE LAWYERS

A Philadelphian was praising for
has; learning and %%nprightness the late
Judge M. Russell Thayer
He quoted the moving passage from
eJndge Thayer's will: ..0....-. -
(. Owing to thesfact that almost nv
entire life has been passed in the pub
lic service of the United States and
of the state Of Pennsylvania, I have
but small estate to leave to nv dear
children and wife,
- Those are different words,D he
said, - from the kind we have been
hearing lately. It seems odd to us to
think of a public servant regarding his
post as anything but plum tree. We
have here another proof that a man
really honorable can never become very
rich.
Judge Thayer was very honor
able man. First as a LAWYER, after
wards as a judge, he treated all with
whom ne had dealings with the great
est fairness. Once, years ago, after he
had served me well in a difficult
case, L demonstrated with him about
the smallness of his fee.
We'll, he said, smiling, and SMELL
ing the flower in his buttonhole. Il.
you know, am not that type of LAWYER
whose client once said: q Il never was
entirely ruined but twice. Once when
L lost, lawsuit, and once when I
gained one. - re-;
