Reunion Of Confederate Veterans.
Editor NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. allow
ME space in your paper, for few
words in reference to the coming re-
union of Confederate Veterans, to be
held at Parksley, September 10Th.
Our reunion two years ago, was
decidedly a success; especially, with
reference to the number of people
present, aud the sympathy manifest
ed for orr work we hope to make
this reunion q greater success, at
least financially, and anticipate q
larger gathering of people. We will
have speakers, both morning and
afternoon, aud MANY other attrac
lions, such SD a gold watch and bicycle
for the two most popular ladies, also
a baby show-a silver spoon being
given to the successful baby. Ar
engagements are being made for run
ming a special train from Cape
Charles at req sonable rates and con-
venient hours. We ask for donations
of all kinds, provisions for dinner,
and anything that we can sell. We
especially appeal 10 the ladies, not
only ior conlliouiio s, but for their
aid during the df.y The ladies of
Cape Charles, two years ago, nobly
came to our assistance, and in fact.
their work was invaluable to us and
| feel sure that our own women will,
if possible, surpass them. There are
but few that have not some link that
bind them to the Lost Cause,'' and
we ask that they will dedicate that
day, to perpetuate the memory of
those who gave their lives for it. We
have now in bank, to the credit of
the Camp, more than six hundred
dollars, and wehope to secure enough
on that day to justify us in beginning
some practical work.
Very respectively,
