ries as long as we live.
Second, We extend to Mrs. Walter
our high esteem and sincere thanks
for her generosity and kindness, and
respect for the Confederate soldiers.
We shall ever respect her, and never
depart from holding in high esteem
tha Southern ladies.
The following committee was
elected to look after the affairs and
business of the company and see
tbat nothing was lacking to insure
a good time: Ransom C Blackwel
der, W H Blume, C F Walter, Ben

The secretary was then asked to

company, which showed that many
had long since passed away.
Adjournment was next in order
when the company in a body re
tired to Mr. Walter's home, where
the biggest and main feature of the

elaborate affair it was, and was im
mensely enjoyed by all.
Dr. V H Lilly, regimental sur
