With appropriate exercises continuing
throughout the day Memorial Day was
observed in fitting manner in Milledge
ville Wednesday. The first attraction
of the morning was that of the school
children of the countv who gathered
from far and near to sing at tho Opera
Houbo in one grand chorus. In addition
11 a special program rendered there
wetc some old southern songs and the
crowded opera house cheered the child
ren and their leaders in the rendition of
the program. Miss Jennie Weller, of
theU. N. 4 I. College had charge of tho
singing. She was fortunate in securing
theaid of Mrs. Chas. Sheldon, Jr., of
Atlanta, as soprano singer.
Next injordor was the annual meeting
of the verterans held at the court house
and while the ranks are gradually grow
ing thinner there was a large atten
dance. Officers were elected as follows:
Judge D. B Sanford commander, Capt.
W. T Conn and Capt. Geo, W. Caraker
Vice commanders,Capt. Andrew J. Mill
er adjutant, Mr. E. P. Lane secretary
and Mr. W. H. Roberts treasurer.
A feature of the day was the elegant
dinner served by the United Daughters
at the Confederacy to the old veterans
and a few invited guests. Over 100
people participated in this delightful
affair and a vote of thanks was extend
ed to the U. D. C. and they in turn de
sire to render IhankB to the business
men of Milledgeville, who assisted in
making the dinner a success by liberal
d illations.
At 2 o’clock the long parade began to
form and at Its head marched the
musicians, followed by Capt. J. H.

Arriving at the cemetery a splendid
program was rendered, students of tbe
' G. N. 4 1. C. providing the musical at
traction of the occasion. Col. J.W. PreH-
- ton, orator of the day, was introduced
in a concise and well directed address
by Mr. W. H. Roberts, treasurer of
Camp Doles U. C. V. Mr. Roberts’
introductory remarks were well re
ceived and he was complimented upon
the splendid style which he maintained.
Col. Preston responded in chivalric style
to the pleasing introduction. He wore
a uniform which was a perfect type
of a Brigadier General's uniform as
worn in the Confederate Army and pre
sented a striking appearance. Col.
Preston’s address was impressive and
speaking from experience and obser
vation, blended with years of ex
perience since the tragical war which
started fifty years ago, he told in stir
ring manner of the strenuous days of
the Blxties and of the long struggle of
reconstruction, finally coming down to
tire present day when the ranks of the
j grey grows thinner, but the memory
! goes on forever. Throughout his en-

better than the last. The public is nev
er disappointed by tho bill of tho ovon-
■ng, but all go uway foaling they havu
gotten more than their money’s worth.
Nor will any citizen lose sight nf the
fact that, when the club found that the
date set for their latest play conflicted
with religious services, and stood in tho
way of the “Mock Trial”- without a j
murmur they yielded their own pleasure
and convenience to the general good,,
and fixed another date for the perform-1
ance. This they did in the interest of
harmony and in furtherance of a cause
for which they had already expended
much time and labor.
Furthermore, if suggestion were
needed to induce a generous public to
give liberal response to the call of home
talent—this is to be the last appearance
of the club for this school session.
With the most pleasant recollections of
post contributions the club has made to
public entertainment, our people will
be eager t« make entirely successful
this farewell offering.
Lastly, it is understood that the play
tonight will excel any production these
gifted players have yet presented. It
is of just the character to furnish two
hours of rollicking humor, und it will
be put on in the club's best style.
Need mare be said?
Based upon these strong considera
tions: one is fully justified in predicting
a crowded bouse, and a most enjoyable
evening for this final appearance of the
Players’ Club.
