As this IS u year Of CenteuiaIs and
Reunions, we desire TO propose re-
union which will not only prove q
very pleasant, but an interesting and
profitable one. We propose that the
survivors of the battle OF Fort Fisher
shall meet II this city during the week
Of~our next Fair to be held on the OH,
10th, 11th and 18th days Of November.
We make this suggestion because We
believe il Will be most pleasant for the
heroes Of that seige to meet together
and revisit the scenes of their heroism
and sufferings, and 10 mingie together
once more before they pass away.
And III the second place, We desire
to see some measures taken to write
a full and accurate history of the seige
and fight. Little is known in regard
to it by the Southern people, and we
know Of nc better means of getting a
reliable account written than by get
ting the actors toge her, and appoint
ing one Of their number to write up
the record, each actor giving him the
benefit Of his personal 1ecollections.
North Carolina and the other States
whose troops fought there cannot al
ford to let the history OF that transac-
ton be lost or be told 10y those who
fought against us.
What says Colonel Lamb What say
his noble comrades, to our proposi-
ton? Let them meet by all Means
We want to see the reunion We want
to see some history written and some
tangible evidence nnd reminder of
that great event; We want to see some
thing done TO properly mark the rest

The whites, in 1874, of the cities Of
