A Report i
The annual pilgrimage of the
Grand Army Men Relief Corps,
Ladies of the G. A. R* and their
friends to the number of net'h
700 went to Andersonville Cero
tery, wh re they decorated
tween 13 and 14 thousand Un
Soldiers graves. The A. B. &
Railroad as usual running a S]
ial train with all aecommodati
and stopping at the nearest po
to the Cemetary for the people f
get off, and coming back to the
same point to take them up again
saving them a couple of miles
walk for which they always have
the thanks of the passengers.
With a beautiful day and a fine
program the day was spent very
appropriately. On the return trip
Mrs Mary M. North, the Patriotic
Instructor of the W. R. C. ac-
companied the ladies home and
acting under the instructions of
the National Inspector she inspect¬
ed Colony Corps No. 2. Gave
some words of praise and gave
some instructions at the close of
the session which was a very
profitable one.
Two of the old comrades sur¬
prised the Ladies by coming up
and inviting every one to adjourn
to Adams Candy Kitchen and par¬
take of Ice Cream and Cake.
When the Ladies found out that
the next day was Captain Friend’s
80th birthday they included him
in the Honors that were being
given Mrs. North, by giving a
Reception at the Hall, and an Ice
Cream supper afterwards. There
are so few of the old boys that
reach the age of 80 any more, that
we think there should be special
notice taken of each one as they
arrive at that good old age.
Mrs. North took the 3.30 train
on June 1st for Savannah, where
she will continue her good work.
Hattie M. Nelson,
Press Cor. W. R. C.
Rev. W. S. Harden spent yes¬
terday in Cordele.
