ten up by Mr. M 0 Walter, when
he entertained them' at his' residence.
On Thurbday, Aug. 18th, which
is their day set apart, they again
met at the home of Mr. M. O Walter
by request. About 12:30 the meets
ing wa9 called to order by the pres

The officers for the past year having
given such excellent service, Capt.
Alexander was elected president and
Mr. M C Walter secretary.
Next came the placa in the order
of business for the jokes from the
different members, or speeches if
they preferred. When they culled
on Mr. Hutch Kizziah for an ora
tion, he made them one of the
pleasing speeches of the day, having
invited them to take dinner with
him on the 18th day of August,
1899 The invitation was accepted
and thanks extended him for the
i'
invitation.-
Captain J M Alexander1 then
made a short speech to his men who
had been under his command during
the war, expressing his thanks for
the honor bestowed on him by
electing him as their president, and
also spoke of the pleasure it aff jrded
him to be with them again on their
grand reunion day . Next came a
speech by Mr. M 0 Walter, which
brought down the house : Mr. Wal
ter paid an appropriate tribate to
Liemtenant Hobson, but showed a
jealous spirit. He thinks that he
(Mr. Walter), deserves praise also
for a deed he committed at Golds-
fodder stack until the entire stack
was shot over on top of him. And
the bullets, he said, were singing all
around him: He says he stuck to
it until it was shot down and then
he left (there being no more hiding
place there). But Mr. Dan Lipe
tried to get some of the honor and
esteem from his comrades after Mr.
Walter had finished, he having giyen
Mr. Walter strong support from a
large stump behind the stack . This
was when the shells were coming
like "hot cakes1 he said, The-jeker
of the crowd, Mr. Jdo. Suther, also

Kizziah threatened to tell one back
