Ing the war on the street leading by the
Female Institute to the Presbyterian
Church, with Edgar's Battalion in the
lead and headed on Main street. Veter-
ans who belonged to other infantry COM
mands will form themselves together
behind this battalion.
2. All who served in the artillery,
during the war, on west Main street,
headed by Bryan's Battery, with posi-
tion at the Masonic Lodge building.
3. All who served in the cavalry will
assemble, on horseback, on Court house
street, with the 14th Virginia Cavalry
in the lead with position in front of the
Courthouse, other cavalry commands
arranging themselves behind this regi-
ment.
Officers to command these three di-
visions will be designated by Col. Eakle,
Commander, on the morning Of the 25th.
The Committee hopes that every Con-
federate Cavalryman, who may attend
the reunion from Greenbrier or any
other county will come with his steed
prepared to join in the parade.
A company of young ladies', 100 or
more, wearing Confederate sashes and
mounted on handsome steeds will be a
beautiful and pleasing feature OF the
parade. The young ladies with their
escorts, will assemble, under the COM
mand OF Capt. VIM. NJ. Tyree, In the
north end OF town near tho residences
of Messrs. S. b. Mason and J. w. Ar
buckle, from whence they will move to
Main street and take position on either
side thereof near the hotel. This was
striking feature of the parade at the
reunion in Monroe on the 3lst ult., and
the Committee felt that it could not be
improved upon.
The parade will be in charge OF Col.
b. f. Eakle, Commander OF Camp
Creigh, and at his command will move
east on Main street as far as the resi-
dence of Judge Holt, then south to the
Fair grounds, and in the following or

The Artillery; 5. The Cavalry m ounted a;
6. Capt. Simms' Company of the State
Guards from Ronceyerte; 7. The COM
pany of young ladies with their escorts.
Immediately upon reaching the Fair
grounds the veterans will march to the
grand stand, where, after prayer by the
Chaplain and brief address of welcome
by Col. Eakle, an address will be deliv-
cred by Capt. Jas. Bumgardner, jr., of
Staunton, Va. The meeting will then
be adjourned for dinner, the veterans
repairing to the Exposition building
and the crowd in general taking a
basket dinner on the grounds, to which
all are cordially invited.
After dinner the veterans will again
assemble at the grand stand when an
address will be delivered by Capt. Mi
cajah Woods, Of Charlottesville, Va,
after which there will be a general So
cial reunion Of the old veterans to re-
new old acquaintances and talk over
the incidents of camp life, &c.
We have thus stated the program in
detail that it's execution may be facili-
tated on the 25th with as little trouble
and delay as possible. We hope to see
here on that day every veteran in the
county - Confederate and Federal
with many from adjoining countless
We want to have glorious meeting
here on the 25th-one in which all the
people will feel an interest-a day to be
pleasantly remembered for years to
come.
