Office Hours?9 to 11?5 po eiil;er at the l> station and his ar-isal at tlie court d house was the sig na. that the ex- d erases of the day would begin. ' The band played "Nearer My Gojl " to Thee", after which Rev. Bynum h led in prayer asking God's bless- >' ing on the day and on the men for whom the day was set apart. He ? besought guidance for the nations n now warring with each oilier. g Cspt. T. D. Boone, .commander h of the R. Lee Camp, asked the in- c dulgehce of thi' audience while the tl Camp re-orgac ized. The officers n for the following year are as fol lows: . _ a T. Boone Commander A. I. Parker.......' -Lieut. ' J. I>. Gat I Ing Adjutant L C. F. Griffin Surgeon 11 C. W. Scarborough.. Chaplin * A.C. Vann Orderly Sergeant ? r. E. Vann... Treasurer ? H. C. Sharp Historian J. D. Gat I Lug was elected in the place of H. G. Sharp, who was ? made bistori-in, and T. K. Vann in ? the place of W. P. Taylor, deceas ed. The other officers were re elected. ' r Koll call of the veterans ie 1 always sad. When the comrades ( My, am many a name is called, "He ( is dead,', we are forcibly impress ed thai the "tbin gray line" is ( rapidly growing thinner. Among c those who litis year answered "Here" on the other side of the i River we especially missed Lieut. 1 W. P. Taylor. No veteran took a I greater interest, than Mr. Taylor i in the annual re eunions and in every 4 thing for the g nod of his comrades. In their efforts, to erect the monu- I ment at Winti m the Daughters of I the Confeders ey found him heart ' and soul in t be movement. His 1 interest, his t sympathy, his influ ence, his cou jmhI. and his pnrse ( were freely I mute wed. i After the I Mkii.ess of the Camp I was finished Cap:. Boone present- i ed Hon. Stan ley Wipjbprne, who in 1 a very apprc ipria te manner intro- I duced the s;weaker of the day, Dr. K. W. Sikes, dea n of Wake Forest i College. i Dr. Sykes in responding Mid "he had not c the present war am dug the natic ns, yet war brings out some virti ies, chief among which is u itself .shness. tiie spirit of sacrifice." The sibject lie chose to talk about was "Le : and Some of the Causes of the 1 tVar." He Mid in part: "Folks r.ion,t want war. The working poop le do not want to fight; those of Gergiany and Eng land do not. luge each other. War is not necessary but is brought about by iJie cc nduct of men. Tlie Civil War was ;not inevitable. It should have been avoided by states men." He quot ed facts from his tory to show the t the question of secession was raised during Jeffer son's administration in 1801, advo cated in New England in 1812,and brought up in 1882 in South Caro lina where it wan stopped by An drew Jackson. In 1847 it wa? stopped by Zochary Taylor. The fact that sec?ssi(>n had always been talked about is :in argument that it was not inevitable. But from 1850 hi JgfiOtliqje was u chnpge in . > ublic sentiment. In 1852 meu rithout tlie spirit of Webster, liny, and Calhoun arose ?politici ns instead of statesmen, and these ke Seward with his talk about c a law higbei than the conslitu ion" brought on the war. From 850 a doctrine of hate was preach d both in church and state. The etty politician advocated war ntil the fight was on." After pointing out several other suses contributing to the war and bowing how mistaken is the idea bat the South has gained industri lly by the upheaval, the speaker irned to Lee from whom he drew urne lessons for us. He spoke of ?ee as a man who knew not bate nd who said of himself, "never ave I seen a day when I could ot pray for the men on tl?e other ide." It was the soul of Lee liowing in his face that wen loved.* [e loved his soldiers as they loved im, and it was this that made it oubly hard to surrender the most evoted army ever known. But f Appomattox magnificent 1 defeat, great in spite of it. In closing, Dr. Sikes commend d Lee to the "old boys" that tliey take their souls like his, without uile, without hate and with love i> all, so that when their summons omes, as come it will ere long, hey may meet their great Com lander in ti e Great Beyond. Dinner ?a> bountifully provided nd thoroughly enjoyed. The afternoon was given over o the meeting of old friends and be making of new ones. Tite band ilayed the old Southern songs vhicii always stir the heart, and >ld folks and young folks had "a ;ood time." Bunchi H. Vann. Hist. Hartford Co. Chapter U. D.

I Oor hearts weie made sad and ?ur community bereaved by the [rim messenger of dealli which ook from our midst one of our s test^and most beloved men, Mr. J. r. Williams aired, 64 years. On the evening of July 29th, as he beautiful day was fading into r wilight this good man oassed out ?f suffering flesh into immortal ^ ifa. leaving liehind him the nemory of a good name and a Jodly life. Mr. Williams had { teen in failing health some time >ut it was not until May that his '' condition was known to be serious. . le realized his condition and talk- ^ id witli his friends of his willing ?ess to fifd when the summons ^ :ame. tie was entirely resigned o God's will justL waiting with tatience the Lord's call. Early in life he joined the Bap- ^ ist church and was one of its |, itaunchest and most faithful sup- ^ mrters, always being present at ill services until health failed. 0 [heply interested and energetic in f] ill church activities. He loved j he church doctrins and lived by t's discipline and died aa he had t ived with abiding faith in God. e Indeed a good man has gone from ? uitong us. A faithful hnsband, a ( tind father, and a citizen of high } itanding in his community has ^ eft us U> join the triumphant mats in the everlasting heights | >f glory. We do not understand e Hod's dealings with us as His ways are past finding out, "but t lome time we'll understand." j Mr. Williams was a true, faith- i ful husband and ithver thought he ? tiad done too much for wife or * children. Tliey will cherish and f bless his most precious and sacred i memory, and bis loving councel i will not depart though huaband ? and father is gone': and may his j children impart to others through | life, the same kind, Itelpful spirit they themselves have so generous- ] ly inherited. Yes, they will long j miss him as well as the church and | community in winch he lived, but j the.v sorrow not as those who i have no hope, for in the evening when they gather home from i the toil of life's day and meet in i their Father's house they will find 1 him there to bid them welcome, i Therefore we would not call him back, as Heaven is richer by his i being there. Alt during ins illness me cnarm of pure christian character was strikingly emphasized, for he was patient and submissive to the last, and bore his sufferings without a murmer. and just before the end came he told his loved ones who watched by his side that he was ready to answer his Master's call. His funeral services were con ducted from the Harrellsville Bap tist church on Friday afternoon July 30th. by He v. C. L. Do well of Ahoskie in a very impressive manner, while friends made beauti ful talks concerning his life and death. His remains were then borne to bhe grave near town and laid to rest in the family cemetery to await the resurrection morn. To his grief stricken wife and children a whole community ten ders a deep and abiding s.vmpath.f and sorrow in their sad bereave ment, and may the God of comfort bless and care for them. R. M.
