Survivors’ Reunion.
(Reported for tbe News.
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.
