the surviving members of Company
E., 9TH Tennessee Cavalry, TO meet
at Bolivar, on Saturday, June LIST,
for the purpose of making arrange
ments TO hold a reunion. These
reunions or assemblages are held
all over the South, and have proven
a great benefit as well as pleasure
To the old soldiers who figured In
the late war. The men who took
part i'm that memorable struggle
are rapidly passing away, and the
soil upon which they fought and
bled for their rights and liberties
will soon cover their bodies. To
meet together and refresh each
others memory with incidents that
occurred during those days will be a
great pleasure to the participants,
and on Saturday, the first day OF
June, we hope to see a good atten-
dance here TO complete the arrange
ments for the reunion.
