On Saturday, at tbe Mineral Spring, the veterans of Company “B,” 21st &. C. V., Infantry, met, pursuant to the call The special object of the meeting was to correct and make as perfect as possible the roll of the company, which when perfected will be forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector General’s office, to be printed with the rolls of the other companies furnished by South Carolina during the late war. After making the proper correc tions in the roll, a Survivors’Asso ciation was formed, with Hon. J. C. Clements, the only surviving commissioned officer, as President, and J. A. White as Secretary, to serve one year The next meeting of the association will be held at the Mineral Spring, on the first Saturday in August, 1887, at which meeting all the survivors, with their families, will be expected to attend. The business of the day being over the all-important subject of dinner came up. The request made iu tbe call to come “with one good ration,” had been complied with, but the ideas of “ration” us enter tained by the Confederate com in is sary department, and the old sol diers after 21 year’s service at home are quite different, and tbe one ra tion for tbe few survivors would have ted the original strength of the company lor a week. The col ored cook of “Mess 1,” GIhscow Zimmerman, was on hand, and in bis usual polite manner, acted as waiter. Alter three rations in one had been demolished, the ubiqui tous small hoy, white and colored, had been hanging on the outskirts of tbe camp during mess time, and were now called up and rapidly cleared up what> was left. Short- stem pipes commenced to appear, but a box of fragrant Havanas were passed around, tbe veterans indulged in a social smoke, reciting incidmits of their campaigns, both pleasant and sad. The re union was very pleasant and as the veterans felt the shoul der-touch of other and more trying days, that old feeling of comrade ship returned iu all its force, and now after a lapse of nearly a quar ter of a century this baud of brot ti ers had met once more to greet each other. The true soldier loves his comrade; and there was not a man iu that group that did not feel in his heart, and show by tbe cor dial grip and kindling eye, I love you! All the veterans seemed to be sat isfied with their expetieuce iu the war, and do not wish to again “se« k the bubble reputation”—not even in Mexico. Our President being the only single man among the survivors—a strange thing, too, as he is the handsomest one and has enough of the wherewithal to attract some blushing damsel—received the sin cere sympathies of his comrades, but was advised to change his lot in life, before the next re union. This he promised to do, and we will then he no more compelled to com miserate with him. Many of the company having a far distance to travel, necessitated an early adjournment, and at 4 p. M., we harnessed up and bade each other good bye. The meeting was a success, and every incident of the day will bq, most pleasantly remembered by every one. W. Business Notice*. SHAFTING WANTED.
