Soldiers Who Atte nded
 The nineteenth annual reunion of John G. Fletcher Camp No. 638 U. C.. Vs. held at Green Forest last week is pronounced to have been the most suc- cessful encampment in many respects that has been held. The attendance was large, the crowd on the second day being estimated at 3000
 So well pleased were the old veter- ans with the treatment shown them and the interests manifested by our people in the success of the reunion that Green Forest has been selected for the permanent place of meeting in the future.
 There was some disappointment ex- perienced on account of the failure of some of the speakers, who promised to be present, failing to be on hand, but their places were easily substituted and there was no lack for takers at any time during the three days.
 The crowd was well-behaved through out, only one arrest having been made. It has been remarked that the boys of the country reflected much credit upon themselves by their good behavior dur ing this reunion
 At the Saturday morning session, the camp unanimouly adopted the following
 RESOLUTIONS
 To the John G. Fletcher Camp No. 63s, United Confederate Veterans.
 We, your committee appointed to select the time and place for our next encampment, to select officers for the ensuing year, and to draft resolutions, beg to report:
 1. In the mature judgment of your committee the interest of our camp would be greatly advanced, and the comfort of our members would be much increased by having fixed and permanent camping ground. We there fore recommend that you locate the camp permanently at Green Forest We further recommend the second week of August as the most suitable time
 2. We most heartily recommend Comrade J. P Fancher for Command CT, Comrade N c. Charles for Adiu- tant and Comrade Wyatte Brawley for Treasurer.
 3. That we extend to the Green Forest Comet Band our high apprecia- tion of its services. Its music has been abundant in quantity and in quail ty cannot be excelled.
 4. To the young ladies who stirred our hearts with the sweet songs of Dixie, our heartiest gratitude is ex- tended. The beloved Southland for which we fought can never be enslaved while she has such noble daughters to give inspiration to her sons.
 ,. That we express our grateful ack- nowledgments to Prof. H. P. Burney for the many ways in which he contrib uted to the success and pleasure of this reunion.
 6. That we hereby acknowledge our indebtedness to all of our visiting friends for their attendance, their smiles of welcome, and their words of cheer. Specially do we thank those who gave us such splendid and inspir- ing addresses.
 2. That to the people of Green For est and Hickory township we desire to say that we expected you to do your utmost to make the reunion one of comfort and happiness to us. Our ex- pectations have been fully met in every particular. Nobly have you done your part. By your generous hospitality, your loving and tender thoughtfulness, your eager provision for our every want, you have endeared yourselves tc us beyond the power of words to ex- press.
 In his younger days, the Confederate soldier knew how to FIGHT; in his old age, he has not forgotten how to LOVE.
