-. The Confederate Reunion.
On last Thursday morning
quite a cumber of the mem
bers of the Nimrod Priplett
Camp of Confederate Veter
ans, together with a goodly
number of visitors, assem
bled in the court house in an
nual reunion, and a happier
appearing crowd of 'oli vets'
you never saw together.
The forenoon was princi
pally taken up by the busi
ness of the body electing of
ficers for the ensuing year,
and other work looking to
the good of the organiza
tion. The body adjourned at
noon for dinner, and it did
seem that every vehicle on
the cround had abundance
of nice eatables st cred in it,
brought from the country.
Under almost every shade
Tree might be seen a clump of
veterns and friends parta
king of a sumptuous repast
The body reassemble at 2,
p. m., and a short time was
spent in talks by the boys
who wore the gray. The n
ter of Frank Triplett, aveter
an present, who was suffer
ing with au eating cancer on
his face, and in destitute cir
cumstances, was put before
the body; a collection taken
for bis benefit which amount
ed to Dear $8. By the way,
Mr. Triplett was the man
who bore the late Capt. W.
VV. Lenoir wounded from the
battle field, and a gentleman
was heard to say: ''Were Le
noir alive Frank Triplet
would want for nothing, as
he looked after him as long
as be lived."
At 3, P. M. the body of sol
diers marched through the
village enthused by the old
airs "Dixie" and "Sallie Good
eu"; the parade was photo
graphed from different points
of view, as it was on Friday,
and orders for more than
two hundred pictures were
given the artists. Rev. L. D.
Cole preached to the veter
ans at night in the baptist
church.
On Friday the crowd in at-
. tendance was much larger, in
fact more than double what
It was the day before. A num
ber of visitors from different
counties were present which
added much interest to the
occasion; Capt. Johnson, of
Lenoir; Mr. N. M. Seagles, of
Hickory; Lieut. W. F. Shull
and W. HrHorton, of John
son county, Tenn., being a
motig the number.
During thft morning Attor
ney W. U. Lovilill, though i
young man, spoke feelingly
to the asBPmbly, and praises
of his effort were on the lips
of all. In the afternoon by a
vote of the members of the
Camp, it was decided that
the next annual reunion
will be held at Vilas next fall
the dates to be announced la
ter.
The question of a Confeder
a to monifment, which has
been agitated for sorao time,
was put before the body by
'W. K. Lovill, and a perma
nent organization was soon
' affected. A central commit
tee was appointed and Capt
Lovill was elected chairman
Mr. W. 0. Coffffey was made
: Treasurer and R. C. Rivers
Secretary. Other committees
kwiilbe noDointeo soon and
' the collections for the mdnu
r went will be pressed unrelen
indv until the required a
mount Is; raised.
being then over, 'the old sol
diers joined in. singing on. ap
propriate hymn, and after
a general hand snaking, the
body adjourned.
