A few months 11:40 nt 11 special Vvtiug of the Fort Mill chapter.

Since that meeting every member of the chapter has labored untiringly in the interest of the undertaking. M onday afternoon witnessed the consummation of th 'ir efforts and there are now half a hundred veterans in this ruiinuu nily wearing on the lapel of their coats a badge of honor which is prized ns are the decorations of sovereigns in the old world.
