THr OonfsderaLe veterans Binding

The Confederate Veterans Building
on Prince street, near Columbus, was
til = scene last night of happy gather
Ing. The occasion was the annual OBJ
servance by r. E. Camp Of Confederate
Veterans Of the anniversary OF General
Lees birth, the peerless leader OF the
Army of Northern Virginia. The
affair had been well-conceived and every
feature Of the programme was enacted
without a hitch. The ladies composing
the Womsn's Auxiliary Society had
everything prepared when the members
of the camp aud their guests arrived,
and by their own hands served the ban
oueters. The menu was choice and
prepared with skill, and every one play
ing part in the entertainment was at
his or her best. The commander of the
camp, Mr.. w. A. SmoOt, presided with
dignity and ability, the speakers we're
fluent and the company attentive and
auprsciative. Every banquet given by
r. E. Lee Camp tends to cement more
closely The survivors Of the army that
fought for four years against tremendous
odds, Some of the speakers last hight
referred to the prolonged siege of Troy,
battle Of Thsrmopye and other historic
struggles and they plainly showed that the
survivors were ia no sense superior 10

battles a day with but one meal a week

whose birth was being celebrated really

all that could have been said is apparent
to intelligent people of every land. DE

globe, and as time goes on and ne is

some gaps in the ranks Of r. E. Lee
Camp last night, and genial souls who
for years had gathered With their fraters
on these annual occasions were missing,
they having crossed the river to rest
un1er the shade of the trees since the

Justly proud of the fact that their sirts
were Confederate soldiers. May this
