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.

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- I tire address Col. Preston held the at- J tendon of his large audience demon- : strating his ability and at the same ! time showing the reverence in which Dr. John P.

Every plu.v Lho club oilers it. 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.
