What's the use of being plagued

What's the use having a stomach so

Ladies' Memorial Association.
The regular annual meeting of the
Ladies Memorial Association was
held yesterday afternoon. Theie
was a full attendance and miudi in
terest manifested. The meeting bt
ing duly called to order, the report
of the Treasurer was read, after
which the Secretary read the Presi
dent's report, and then the members
proceeded to business.
A resolution was offered and adop
ted to the effect that inasmuch as
many who attended the services on
Memorial Day, and'were anxious to
hear the address, were debarred the
pleasure of enjoying it because of
the disturbing element within the
grounds of restless children, playing
around the mound, thus endanger
ing the decorations, and thoughtless
youner'men and girls talking and
laughing together, it was resolved
that hereafter a repetition of the
same shall not occur; that a commit
tee of marshals, four at least, shall
be appointed by the chief marshal
of the day. to enforce and maintain
order during the services, having
full power to refuse admittance into
the lot all except those who have
borne the march, or who shall wear
the badge of the Association; and
no small children shall be allowed
within the enclosure, unless wearing
badges, or who are under the care of
parents or teachers.
Resolved, That a committee be
appointed to confer -with the Presi
dent of the Children's Memorial As
sociation requesting that officer-to
use her influence towards merging
that Association into the Ladies',
with reduced entrance fee. The
Children's Association having been
organized with a view to this end.
Resolved also, That whereasin the
coming year the 10th of May falls on
Sunday, the services, being entirely
of a religious character, be not post-
Eoned, as on a former occasion, bat
e held as usual; that a clergyman
be invited to address the people in
a manner suitable for Sunday. Also,
that the regular annual Historical
Address be delivered by an orator
not yet selected for the occasion;
that said oration shall be delivered
in the Ooera House' on some even
ing as early as possible after Memo
rial Day. Proceeds of address to be
donated to the Medallion Fund, to
be erected in memory of our Chief
tain and President. , , -

one of $25-and there was a hot contest
io see wnicn company snoum win
the first. The judges were thorough
ly competent and entirely disinter

award of ;prizes was made strictly
upon excellence in military tactics,
and were as follows: First
prize, $200, Wilmington Light Ir
fantry; second prize, $100 Hornet's
Nest Riflemen, of Charlotte; third
prize, $2.5, Monroe Light. Infantry.
The news of the victory won by
"our boysv reached here early last
.
evening, causing a great rejoicing
among the many friends of the com
pany, and we hear of one venerable
and gallant soldier who has seen
severe service in the field, and who
yet takes great pride io. aud is an
active member of the company, who
threw his hat in the air and jumped
on it when it fell to the ground.
Active preparations were made
for their reception, oil their return
to the city this morning, and upon
their arrival at the depot here they
were met by the white fire compa
nies and a procession was formed,
headed by a platoon of police under
Capt. R. M. Capps, and the5 Kinston
Cornet Band, colored, who were en
gaged for the occasion, followed by
the Atlantic Engine Company, each
man carrying a new broom on his
shoulder, and hose reel. Howard Re
lief, with engine and hose reel. Hook
and Ladder with truck, with car
riages containing city -officials, and
friends of the company bringing up
the rear. Every body was happy
and the gallant soldiers marched up
Market street with a soldierlv step
and military bearing which would
have reflected credit upon the most
experienced veteran in the land.
Arriving at the City Hall, three vol
leys were fired in honor of their
triumph, with remarkable precision,
after which, the company marched
into the armory, deposited their
arms and were dismissed.
We heartily congratulate the com
pany on its complete success. They
worked for it, deserved it, and won
it gloriously, and can do the same
again, if opportunity should offer.
