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. (’.

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.

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. Papers friendly to this movement please copy. 111-a Ili fn n sand nary. 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. — -jf. 0. Time*. Kelt Alive Until 1883. .Mr. E.
