ODh hEUNlON'
We have decided to have our cor
respondents reuion in Nashville this
year, on the last Saturday in July,
the 25th day of the month. In doing
so, our idea is to give our real, act
ual. regular correspondents, the ben
eft of days outing, without the
trouble or expense of preparing a
feast for some thousand or fifteen
hundred guests, to say nothing of
the unlimited hungry horde.
To go this distance we cannot If
ford as many coaches as we have
heretofore had, or repeat our trip
as we have been doing. Our tickets
must necessarily be limited in num-
| Der.
Each regular correspondent will
be given two tickets. Our coach
will be attached to the regular morn
ing accommodation train, which
stops at all the stations, and cor
respondents or their friends may get
on at the station most convenient to
them.
Our train will leave the Columbia
station at $3.50 a. m. Returning we
will leave Nashville at APO p. m.
We will have no basket dinner.
Those who wish, can take their
lunches with them. Or those who
prefer can take their dinner at the
hotel.
While in the city we will do as we
please. We hope all will make it
day of pleasure, and not for business.
Shopping" will be strictly prohib-
tied. We will spend the day in sight
seeing. The Capitol is in walking
distance of the depot, and will most
likely be our first objective point.
While its outside walls are familiar
to most of us, its inside will be found
entertaining, cool and pleasant.
From there, for five cents a head,
the street cars will take us about
three miles out to the beautiful Van
derbilt grounds. Here one will find
grand buildings, luxuriant grass,
beautiful shade, and lovely walks.
Several hours can be delightfully."-
spent at Vanderbilt.
Coming back, we may stop at the
Custom House, and see where the
Federal Judge and the moonshiners
meet
Then if we have time we can visit
the penitentiary or the Centennial
grounds. These, and other interest
ing places, can easily fill up the day.
AS we said in the beginning, our
tickets must be confined to our reg
ular correspondents. Some Of our
former correspondents have fallen
out of line altogether, and Others
have been very irregular. Those
who have written since our last re-
union as often as once month, will
please send us at once their names
and post-office addresses.
Half-Fare Rates.
, Our correspondents will ride in
: our special coach, and will pay nc
? fare. But in order that some of theil
3 friends and our friends may spenC
Il. the day with them in Nashville, we
have arranged with the railroad foI
S half fare rate for that day for thd
r train only. The train will stop a
= the following stations, and the rounC
e trip rate will be as follows: Camp
a bells, $1.77; Pleasant Grove, $1.70

months, please send in your address

cy. Remember the date and hav
