The above is a correct and complete list of the old soldiers
who attended the annual county reunion here Saturday.
There are 29 of them. The attendance was small owing to
many of them being at home sick in bed or attending their
feeble and afflicted wives. Since last year a number of the
old soldiers have died, one an officer of the camp, namely,
Mr. J. H. Stewart, who was colorer-bearer, Mr. J. R. James
being elected in his stead.
All the old officers, with the above exception, were re
elected, as follows:
J. J. Martin, Commandant. 9
J. A. Southern, First Lieutenant.
A. J. Tilley, Adiutant.
J. B. George, Quarter Master.
M. V. Mabe, Second Lieutenant.
The crowd in attendance was large, numbering several
thousand.
The ex-Confederates were unanimous in their approval of
the movement started by Messrs. J. J. Martin and Amer
Tilley for the erection of a monument to the Confederate
dead to be built on the court house square here. The com
mittee appointed to secure contributions for the monument
is published elsewhere in this paper.
Commandant Martin stated to the Reporter that the next
reunion of the old soldiers will probably be held in April. 1915.

Walnut Cove, September 2.
At the meeting of the county
commissioners on the first Mon
day in tnis month the citizens
will ask for a more adequate
bridge across Town Fork between
this place and the depot. The
present bridge besides being in
need of numerous repairs is
entirely too narrow for the vast
amount of traffi.* with which it is
burdened. It is doubtless used
more than any three bridges 1
at other parts of the county and
a double bridge with a walkway
on the side would greatly
facilitate the traffic and it is to
be hoped that the matter will
have favorable consideration.
A force of laborers from
Salisbury arrived here Monday
! and began work on the floor of
! the new warehouse. The build
ing will have a concrete floor and
this will be reinforced with floor
ing. When finished this will be
one of the most up-to-date ware
j houses in the state,
j Letters received from Messrs.
Semple & Davis, who are con
j ducting a warehouse at Fairmon*,
j state that tobacco is selling well
'on that market and that they
j fully expect the 9ame conditions
jto prevail here when the market
opens on the fifteenth. These
! gentlemen will arrive here on
I the twelfth in time to get things
jin shape for the opening. Mr.
Chas. H. Davis, one of their
office force, came in last week.
Mr. D. S. Boyles has recently
completed one of the most modern
automobile garages to be found
in any town of this size in the
state. He is well prepared to
furnish all kinds of repairs,
gasoline and oils and will employ
an experienced machinist to look
after repairing machines.

COMMITTEE APHITEO TO
' SOLICIT MOMENT EO§

Stokes Confederate Dead Hoped
to Be Erected In Time For the Next
Annual Reunion of The Old Soldiers.
The old soldiers' monument,
which it is proposed to build on
the court house square in Dan
bury, will be pushed forward
to materialization. A committee
was appointed at thirteen points
in the county to solicit funds for
the building of the shaft, which
it is thought will cost from §l,M)O
to $1,500. All the ex-Confeder
ates were very anxious that the
monument be erected at an early
day, if possible within their
life times, in order that they
may be living witnesses to the
tribute of loved ones living to
their heroic dead.
The committee appointed is
as follows:
C. M. Jones, Walnut Cove.
Dr. J. H. Ellington, Sandy
Ridjre.
Mrs. Dr. W. C. Slate, Danbury.
