To the Surviving Soldier* and Sailor s
of the. Confederate Stall * truly anil
Kavy, revuleat in Georgia:
On tho 80th of January. 1875, then*
mol. in Atlanta n largo unu outhu-lfts- 1
tic convention, cuniposcil of sohlier
and aailqrs of the army and navy of
the Confodonilo Stales, resident is ;
Georgia. This convention inaugural.;
ed an association, to lie called th ■
“Survivors' Association of Confed
erate Soldiers and Sailors, for the
State of Georgia/'
The objects of this association arc
to be threefold: Social, historical,
and benevolent.
Tho only qualification
to constitute n man a member are:
That lie shall have served with thleli
ty in the nrmv or navy of the Con
federate States, and shall be at the
time of signing t lie roll, it bona tide
citizen of the State of (luorgia. n ■
matter in What State lie may have
inlisted, or with what command lie
served; anti who shall pay. upon:
signing the roll, the sum of "twenty
live cents into the common fund of
the association.
The constitution provides that ex-
Confederate soldiers and sailors may
form sub-associations in each count \,
which will be auxiliary, and report
to the State organization.
The association elected, as its Pres
ident,Gen. Joseph E. Johnston ; (lon.
A. B. Lawton, senior Vice President ;
a Vice President from each brigade,
and three Vice Presidents from the!
navy; Oapt. T. L. Mnssonlmrg, Trea
surer; andClapt. John Milledge, See- j
retarv. Also, an executive commit '
tee, consisting of Col. Thomas liar
demtut, Col. Janies L>. Waddell. Col.
L. J. Glenn, Lieut. Col. (’. C. Kibbee,
ami Col. H. D. Callers.
These officers accepted the offices I
to which they were elected, and en
tered ufion the discharge of their
duties.
And nowit is made my duly, u -
Secretary, by order of the executive
committee, at the tirsi meeting, held
in Atlanta on the 22d day of January.
Gen. Lawton presiding, to issue this j
address, requesting that, in each
county of this State, the ex Confed
erate soldiers and sailors will call a
meeting and have enrolled all win ■
desire to become members of tho a.-
sociation, and have those rolls, with
the money collected mi them, for
warded to me, by expre.--, at Atlanta,
(Ja., on or before the Ist day oj June
next, in order that these rolls may bo
verified, the money deposited with
the Treasurer, and a consolidated roll
made up by the next meeting of the
association, in Macon, in October
next.
These roils must show the name,
rank, time, place, and command at
time of entering the service; date,
command aud rank at time of leaving
the service; and in order that those |
may be uniformly made out, 1 will
furnish, during tho next fourteen
days to each ordinary in the State, a
blank form, with the necessary in-
Btruotions printed therein; and the
ordinary will hold them subject to
the order of any representative meet
ing of those to whom tlii address is
directed.
Wherever county sub-association-,
arc formed, such associations will
superintend the getting up of these
rolls and money, through their prop
er officers, and nave the same for
warded to me as herein directed.
And when such associations are form
ed, the secretary of each association
will officially report ils organization
to this office; and, if possible, send a
printed copy of the proceedings of
tile meeting which formed the asso
ciation, to be kept oil file. Vtiil if
there should lie any couldy in the
State where such an organization i
liot formed, then some reliable and
energetic ex-Confedcratc soldier or
sailor should be selected, by any
meeting of soldiers and sailors called
for that purpose, to perform this
duty.
And now comrades, i- it. nece-sary
that you bo urged to take hold or this
good work with zeal? Some of you
may attach no importance to tin- so
cial feature of our association. <>f its
historical feature some may -ay. "let
the dead post bury its dead but the
benevolent feature, limb is the most
prominent object of this association,
imposes upon you a solemn duty.
There were true and noble men who
fell by your side on the battle-field, or
languished, until death relieved their
agonv. in Hie hospitals; and dying,
left widows and orphans, who to-day,
with no shelter they can call their
own, are begging bread in Georgia.
These are your wards. There are
others who shared with you the hard
ships of camps und the dangers of l lie
baUle-tioid, who, disabled by wounds,
or emaciated by disease contracted in
the service, are dragging out a miser
able existence, disheartened and
weary of life. They need help; and
for such objects as these do we pro
pose to bund ourselves together. This
high obligation and responsibility is
upon us. Let us be up. and ucipiit
ourselves like men, in tlie discharge
of so sacred a duty.
John Miu.f.dhi:. Secretary.

A lamentable accident occurred
yesterday evening at four o'clock in
Ht. Michael’s Church, on Chipjiowa
street, near Itaco, resulting in the
death of John O'Brieu, aged ten
years. The bells were ringing for
vespers, and little Johnny was stand
ing near the sexton watching his mo
tions as he pulled the rope, to sum
mon Christians to their duty in tlie
house of God. Suddenly a crackling
noise was heard overhead, and in an
instant
THE Hum: CASTINGS FELL
with crushing force on the unfortu
nate child’s head, fracturing hU
skull.
Immediately after the accident, Dr.
Nicholson was summoned, hut it w as
to bo purpose—the physician’s skill
availed naught; friends and relatives
could do nothing but try to soothe
the little fellow's dying moments.
One-half hour tho child suffered, and
then he breathed his last. The man
gled remains were tenderly convey ed
to his grief-stricken parents, at No.
80, Bt. James street.
An investigation of the cause show
ed that the casting of the bon hud
been broken, and tho falling iron had
ended John O’Brien’s fair young life.

Kelt Alive Until 1883. .Mr. E.
Woodruff, of Grand Haphis, Mich.,
has published a pamphlet in which
lie says information has been com
municated to him in a vision of great
physical changes to take place on
the earth fifteen years henci . He
declares that during twenty-one days
—commencing January lfi, 1889, a now
plftßftt will be formed from a belt of
matter thrown off from the sun, and
anew moon from a belt of matter
now surrounding the earth, and that
our present moon will be pushed far
ther off. That the earth’s atmosphere
will lie purified by the change, and
that ai)Kn> s- from natural causes
will thenceforward be unknown. The
eixancesare that all of us who can
manage toj rolorigour existence Until
1889 will be in a position to live for
ever.
