Resolution Adopted Against Seeding From II. C. NsZDfiicers Elected
 For Ensuing Year.

J. Ed Murray Camp, No. 510, United Confederate Veterans, went on record, at meeting held Sunday afternoon at the court house, against the proposed formation of separate body of vet erans which is to be posed of those camps west of the Mississippi river. The resolution follows:
 Whereas, It has come to the know ledge of the undersigned, that there is a disposition on the part of some of our Texas comrades to withdraw or secede from the general organization of the U. c. V., and form separate body, to be composed of camps now in existence west of the Mississippi river, and
 Whereas, Such a withdrawal or sc- cession would in our opinion, result in no good to the organization, ant; would most likely cause unpleasant feelings, and have tendency to de- stroy that fraternal spirit which has, and should characterize the grand old body of United Confederate Veterans, especially in it's declining years; when we can so plainly see the dim outlines of the "Shadowdy River which all must inevitably cross, after only few more of these earthly reunions.

 Resolved, That it is the desire of this camp that we continue to perpetuate with it's hallowed influences, this grand old organization in it's original spirit of fraternalism, unshaken by misunderstanding and in-advised di- visions believing that our best inter- ests will be subserved, by all the states of the South remaining intact and
