toned above and make it a gener-
al reunion of all Confederates,
whether resident in Giles or else
where, who volunteered from Giles
county. 1t being clearly the sense
of the meeting that the reunion
should be held, questions of detail
arose and were disposed of as
shown below:
Upon motion of Mr.. S. G.. Mitch
ell 1t was decided to haye a basket
dinner instead of the conventional
barbecue.
After some discussion as to when
the reunion should be held, the
motion of Milt. Voorhees,, to fix

the day, prevailed. The fair
grounds at Pulaski was named as
the place.

the wives, sisters or daughters OF |

themselves should select in their
several districts, to provide sup
plies for the basket dinner; that in
