Meeting of Ex-Confederates.

Tourists and sportsmen -- Other recreation - Veterans

The old Confederates met on Monday and took the first steps toward organization by calling the venerated Louis P. Rogers to the chair. Their roll shows nearly forty members of whom two-thirds were in attendance. A temporary organization was effected by the election of Captain George H. Bagwell as commander. It was determined to meet on the first day of July court at 11 a. m. to perfect organization, and in the meantime all not now enrolled, who desire to become members, are requested to send in their applications to the secretary, Dr. G. T. Scarburgh, giving their full name, rank, company, regiment, brigade, division and corps. All are requested to send the names of men who died from disease or wounds, or who were killed, with the dates and such circumstances as may be useful, attending such case, to the secretary at as early a date as possible. The dead list, by no means complete, already shows over forty-five names, the large majority of whom were either killed or died of wounds. It is to be hoped that a full attendance will be had at the July court that so laudable an undertaking may be thoroughly established at an early date.
