welcomed him with open arms
THE papers have recently been fun of meetings
being held in New York by Hebrews tc organize q

meetings with great interest and have been greatly

In the fourth column of this page will be
found list of names of the Confederate
dead buried at Pineville. Perchance some
one will learn from this partial list the
last resting place of a friend or comrade
who has crossed to the beyond. Some of
the dead whose names appear in this list,
although it is not so stated, were killed in
battle, many died from wounds and dis
ease and others died years after the close
of the war. Among the Names appears
that of Lieutenant Colonel f. G.. Randolph,
member of the famous Palmetto Regi-
ment from South Carolina in the Mexican
War, citizen of this parish before and
after the Civil War and the first captain of
the Bossier Volunteers. He died in Grant
