G. A. R. MEN RENEW MEM
DRIES OF DEPARTED
COMRADES.

Post 50, G.. A. R., has just cause to
congratulate itself on the rendition OF
its memorial service this year as being
successfully carried out and worthy of
pleasant remembrance. The rain on
Sunday interferred with the attend
ance at Caroline Chapel, but the Post
was represented by a delegation and
the service was success and very
gratifying to the participants. But
the weather changed and Wednesday
was a perfect day and consequently a
large number of people came in from
various sections of the county and the
general verdict was very complimenta-
ry to the Post
The Post held special meeting at
the Town Hall at 1890 and beside adj
ding one more member to its ranks, yo-
ted to hold the annual reunion on Sat
urday, Sept. 9Th. Rev. John Sanders,
of Whitwell, was Chaplain of the day.
The line was formed at o'clock and
before starting for the cemetery, Ar
fist Rapier photographed the Post and
its pretty escort of children.
At the Town Hall the programme as
announced last week was faithfully
carried out. The singing by the vol
unteer choir was very beautiful Miss
Ava Lancaster added another success
to the many she has already made;
Miss Grace Thomas did nicely, and
Miss Thula Martins delivery of Lin
coins words at Gettysburg were faith
fully given as usual. The Grafton by
Capt. Robert B. Cooke, of Chattanoo-
ga, was splendid effort, we'll deliver
ed and much enjoyed. Benediction by
Rev. R. H. Jewell closed the exercises.
The Hall was filled and although quite
warm the building was well ventilated
and the audience comfortable.
