Headquarters Wade Hampton
Camp No. 1708, Georgia Di
vision, U. C. V., April 12th,
1911
Comrades you are hereby com
manded, requested and required to
assemble yourselves at the Court
House in Lyons, on Saturday,
the Gth of May next, by 10o’clock,
a. m., business of much impor
tance will then and there be trans
acted. I hope for the benfit and
upbuilding of the camp. Delegates
are to be selected to represent us
at Little Rock, Arkansas, at the
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterauß, to be held May 16th,
17th and 18th next.
In addition it is the desire and
wish that every old ex-Confeder
ate soldier in Toombs county will
connect himself with the camp
and aid us. in keeping alive the un
dying principles for which we
fought side by side for four long
bloody years; in which conflict
thousands of our comrades sacri
ficed their lives upon their coun
try’s altar in defence of those
principles near and dear to every
true and patriotic Southern heart.
The ranks of those who escaped
with their lives from the mighty
ordeal through which they passed is
daily diminishing, hence the nec
essity for us to become more clos
ly allied that we may be better
enable to transmit to our poster
ity, yes, to generations yet un
born, the principles which actu
ated the Southern men to pick up
the glove and wage the battle in
defense of our rights under the
Constution of the United States,
Though we lostmir cause, after
having, in the language of Gen. J.
B. Gordon, fought ourselves to a
frazzle, we did not. givo up the
principles.
Comrades are you less patriotic
and less devoted to the principles !
for which you fought to-day, than
you were when you endured the
hardships and sacrifices of camp
life and forced marches you were
often called upon to make, and
after all, offering yourselves as
living sacrifices by part icipating
in the greatest battles that have
ever been recorded in the annals!
of history, when you were known
as Gen Jackson's foot cavalry and
Gen. Lee’s miserables? We do
not believe you are, and we pray
God to forbid it. Suffer us then
to plead with each ex-Confederate
soldier within the bounds of
Toombs county to meet with
Wade Hampton Camp, No. 1708,
on Saturday the oth day of May
next, and have your name enrol
led with us. It is a duty to your
self, a duty you owe to you wife
and children, a duty you owe to
generations yet to come, God and
this beautiful Southern land.
In this connection it is a pleas
ure for us to chronicle the fact
that the ladies of Lyons are or
ganizing a camp or an association
of the Daughters of the Confed
aracy God speed them in their
noble work; their zeal and patriot
ism, as well as energy and devot
ion to whatever cause they espouse
always insures success.

President Taft’s explanation
that he thought he would have
the troops in Texas so as to have
them there iu case they were
needed sounds reasonable.
Missionary Institute at Dublin. 1
The .Mis-ionary Institute of the
Southeastern division of the Wo
man’s Baptist Missionary Union
ot Georgia will hold a mission in
stitute in Dublin beginning April
18th next and last, through the 20.
The institute will be under the |
supervision of Mrs. G. H. Wil
burns, of Dublin, who lias charge
of this division.
The division is a very large one
and comprises 16 associations
reaching from Savannah to Bruns
wick, the upper corner of it in
cluding Laurens county and the
Eberneezer association There will
be delegates present from all parts
of the division with some of the
most prominent workers of the W.
B. M. U. in Georgia as speakers.
Mrs. Williams, the vice-president
of the state organization, in
charge, has arranged a most inter
esting program for the meeting,
the speakers being chosen from
among the leading workers of the
district. Also Dr. J. J. Bennett,
secrecary of the Georgia Board of
Missions, and Dr. H. C. Buck
holtz, state evangelist, will make
addresses during the meeting, as
will Miss Amos, secretary of the
state W. M. B. U and Mrs. Gough
one of the state missionaries.
This institute is one of several
that will be held in the state by
the W. B. M. U., this year for the
purpose of arousing more interest
among the women in the cause of
missions, state, foreign, home etc ,
all the different phases of mission
work that are now being fostered
by the Baptists of the south. The
women of the churches in ,each
district are urged to attend these
institutes and get information and
encouragment in the work.theyjare
engaged in. Besides the addresses
of the different speakers will be
very interesting and will ampN
repay each one who attends. The
women of the Eberneezer asso
ciation are especially urged to at
tend the meeting, they being held
in that association and being
near to all of them. The delegates
and visitors to the meeting will
be entertained by the members
of the Dublin W. B. M. U., and
request that all who intend to be
present to please notify Mrs. J.
S. Almand, chairman of the
entertainment committee, at once
so that homes may be provided
for them. It s expected that a
large number of delegates and
visitors will attend from all over
the division.
It is the intention of the ladies
of the Dublin Baptist church to
make the meeting as interesting
and helpful as possible, and it
will be one of the most successful
institutes held in the state this
year. The ladies of the Baptist
churches especially throughout
this section are invited to come
out and enjoy the excellent pro
gram that has been arranged.
