Confederate Vet's Reunion. > There are flags floating today from the fronts of many stores while other buildings are festooned with bantings in which the colors of red, white and blue were gracefully and beautifully entwined. The town is filled with the brave boys who wore the * - - ? 3 il.l gray in tne memoraoie uays mat have gone by and which is not only a glorious memory Which is to them a priceless heritage that they can in honor hand down to their children and by tbem to generations yet .unborn. At 11 o'clock, Camp Steadman, TJ. C. V- and Camp M. D. Harman, S. of U. C. V., with their friends and invited guests met in Roof Hall and the meeting was called to order by Hon. A. F. Lever, chairman, who in a few timely and eloquent remarks stated the object of the gathering of the Confederate clans. Rev. N. S Younginer, chaplain of Camp Steadm? ; n^red op a fervent supplication to a throne of grace for the blessings of peace, the preservation of life and the smile of prosperity with which he has favored these peo pie daring the past years. Everywhere in the hail floated'; the bright colors of the cause the old gray headed and grizzly veterans ..-V fought for and lost in their youthful days. Pictures of Lee and other Confederate heroes who have "crossed the river and are now resting under /> ; the shade of the trees," adorned the - stage encased immortelle which represented the unfading glory which _ >\ clusters around their, brow and names. Immediately over the front of the stage where large letters which - v formed the word "welcome." It was - r a fairy like scene and a fitting and beautifql tribute to the men who ' fought and bled for their country's honor and integrity. Mr. Lever said that it was more than forty years since the gun that was heard around the world was | fired at Eprfc Sumter and which marked the epoch in the cause of liberty* the effects of which will last as long as\history itself endures and . contended that on account of the dif farAiMA in tliA sentiment. the educa. tion and the -eoatomabf the people of the north and ^the people of the south, the war between , the. Slates was inevitable. The song of 61-65 was feelingly and beautifully rendered by male4 and female voices which was well received by those present. T. C. Sturkie, Esq., a brilliant young member of the Lexington Bar, delivered the address of welcome, in place of Mayor Alfred J. Fox, who was unavoidably absent, and extended the hospitality of the town to the veterans. In response to address of welcome Major J. H. Counts feelingly and pathetically referred to the noble work, the self sacrifices and the devotion of the women of the sooth for the eaose for which their husbands and brothers fought, suffered and died. W. H. Sharpe, Esq, eloquently responded to the same address on behalf of the Sons ~f Yetrans, assuring the Twmifl of Lexington that their generouB hospitality was gratefully appreciated and would ever be cherished in the archives o! memory as a pleasant incident in the journey to the grave. . The vocal and instrumental music of the morning was a collection of popular airs appropriate for the occasion among which was the soul stirring and patriotic airs of other days and was charmingly rendered by some of Lexington's gifted musicians. Prayer by Rev. Joab EdwardB. The regular business of the Camp was transacted. The old officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. Miss Annie Lou Harman was elected as Sponeor to serve in the absence of Miss Ida Reeder. The meeting then adjourned for dinner. In the afternoon there was vocal ?i???sa??????? ! and instrumental music by a choir of young ladieB and gentlemen. Then came the address of Msjor W. W. Lumpkin, formerly of Georgia but now of Columbia. Mr. Lumpkin has a glorious reputation as a fighter and now as an orator and he sustained his reputation on this occasion. Gen. T. W. Carwile was in his happiest, yet saddest vain?happy by reason of the hospitality of our people to the old veterans and sad as memory recalled the thrilliDg sceenes,' the awful tragedies of the battlefield awful suffering and unparelled indurance of the bovs of the early 60s', Boof Hall was crowded at the evening session of the re-union. The programme was well arranged and the selections wer6 very appropriate. The following was the programme: Cbroue, Tenting on the Old Gamp Ground. Declamation, Mr. Morris Lumpkin. MuBic, My Old Kentucky Home. Tableau, Mary Sasan Boof. Music, Medley. Becitation, Miss Sarah Mildred Berley, Music, The Vacant Chair. Beading, Sketch of the Life of Jefferson Davis, by J. Brooks Wingard, Esq. Music. The Southern Girl. Oration B. J, Wingard. Ohorus and Tableau. At the conclusion of the regular programme Gen. Carwile proposed that the veterans give three cheers to - ^ *r 4 i 1 tne women ox Jjexmgton, wmcn suggestion was promptly responded tc. As we left the hall the voices of the Veterans and maidens fair mingled in|nnieon to the tune of Dixie. This moroing^the Veterans marched to Roof Hall and S3 we go to press they are making the welkin ring. ? j Editor Bailey, of the Johnston News, attended the Sunday schod convention, which was recently held at Zion in this county, and among other things he has the following to say in his paper: "In driving through the town of Lexington, where bo many of our boyhood days were spent, we were struck with the rapid improvements in the town within the past year or two. We noticed several handsome brick buildings on Main street and a number of new and elegant residences in other portions of the town. Lexington iB putting on city airs and her citizens are not making much ado a? nut it." News comes from Washington that the post offioe department has decided to have all the R. F. D. collection boxes painted at the ex" pense of the government all over the country.
