ernoOn. Owing TO the inclcmency of
the weather the chaplain and organ
list We're not present, owing to this

Captain Golledge introduced the
following resolution which was unani-
mously adopted.
Whereas John H. Morgan camp
has been the recipient of a beauti-
full new piano bought with the bal
ance funds left over after all cXpen-
ses of the late reunion held in Ard
more had been paid, therefore be it
resolved that the members of this
camp appreciate quite keenly this
much priced acquisition to our hall
and We cannot be unmindful Of the
fact that had it not been for the lib
erality of the citizens of the city Of
Ardmore in subscriptions, and espe-
cially the ladies' who contributed their
time and labor in collecting and DO
mating such quantities OF good things
to eat which they furnished the
mess hall during the three days re
union, and the good hearted citizens
who furnished home for many of the
visiting veterans there would have
been deficit instead of Il surplus,
therefore be it resolved thta We eX-
tend our thanks to all who in any
way assisted the reunion committee
as without it we would not be the
owners today Of the instrument which
now adorns our hall and contributes
so much to the enjoyment of our
meetings, and further
Resolved that to the reunion com
mittee We also tender our thanks for
turning over the surplus funds to our
camp through the Chairman, Cap
tain ID. NJ. Rumph, who with the com
