Pike County Times Zebulon, Ga.

The Pike County Veterans Association met at Bluff Springs camp ground 
yesterday. The association was opened by the singing of two or three hymns and 
a prayer by the chaplain.

The following named Veterans were reported as having died since their last 
meeting: J.B. Bevil, J.C. Bullard, W.R. Howe, J.T. Beckham, Dollie Coleman, 
J.W. Reeves, A.H. Beal, Y.H. Carter, and J.T. Jones.

Hon. C.L. Bartlett, of Macon, was introduced and ably discussed the cause of 
the late war. His address was a splendid one and was much appreciated by his 
hearers. A recess of an hour had for dinner, after which a committee on 
nominations was appointed and they recommended the re-election of all the old 
officers. The recommendation was adopted and the officers were reelected by 
acclamation. Captain Tip Harrison was then introduced. He delivered an eloquent 
address and was attentively listened to. He paid a glowing tribute to the 
unparalleled heroism of our Confederate soldiers both dead and living.
