(Hlier counties in the State have similar organizations, and why not Lancaster? The object of such an organization should bo the conservat 1011 of Confederal o memories ; a closer friendship between the surviving oflicors and soldiers ; the exhibition of loyal respect to the recollections and impulses of a Confederate past ; the encouragement and practice of manly virtues ; the extension of reasonable aid and sympathy to fellow members in seasons of sickness and distress, and suitable funeral honors 111 i ti.iv; wi ?iuui II We can only bring this to tlie at tention of survivors.
