| confederate soldiers. Through published
account of the meeting an impression was
given that there was some opposition to
decorating the grave Of Gen. Joe Wheeler
because he served Of late years In the
United States army. On that point MEM
Der present last evening explained the situ-
alton as follows:
There was no objection whatever raised
to decorating the grave Of Gen. Wheeler,
because he was a brigader general In the
Cnitd States army. On the contrary, II
was unanimous that 1t should be honored.
Regret. however, was expressed that his
remains were not inferred in the confeder-
ate section. instead of among those whom
he had contended against during the war
from 81 to '65."
The celebration of Confederate Decoration
day next Sunday is expected to be attended
by many southerners OF this city. Those
who wish to contribute4ave been requested
to send flowers money to Capt. ]. I.
