Our Heroic Dead.--- By notice of proper committee published herewith, it will be seen that General Order, No. 11, published by us last week, will be observed by the soldiers of this place. It is desired that our citizens generally will be present at these exercises. Our gallent [sic] and heroic dead are deserving of all honor:

Soldiers.--- All soldiers desirous of paying a tribute of respect to deceased comrades will meet at the Court House in Fairfield on Saturday, May 30, at 1½ o’clock P.M. Appropriate ceremonies will be conducted. The widows and children of soldiers are invited to participate. Ladies are requested to gather and bring flowers and evergreens with them.
