A call has been issued this week
for all ex-Confederate soldiers of
Benton County to meet at Camden
Monday, June Z, for the purpose of
organizing and making the neces-
sary arrangements to attend the re-
union of the United Confederate
Veterans at Nashville June %, %,
and "a This reunion will be the
grandest occasion on which one
could possibly visit the centennial.
! Adjutant-General Norman, chief
of staff of the commander in chief
of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, predicts an attendance Of over
! 100000, and claims to have made
a conservative estimate.
! Quite number from here went
to the teachers association Satur-
day at Flatwoods. There is much
regret felt here because the normal
will not be held at Camden, and it
is the opinion Of teachers that a
/, mistake has been made in the plan
adopted to hold the normal. We
may be wrong in our conclusions,
and hope we are, but it seems that
the real object of the normal has
) been lost sight of in a scramble to
select the place, and that a combi-
nation existed to prevent it being
held at Camden. Aside from the
advantages offered all the teachers
by having the normal held at some
central part of the county, the citi-
zens of Camden would have been
pleased to have had the normal held
at this place, and we believe that if
prejudice does exist, as may be in
ferred, it would have been entirely
, removed with the closing of the
d, normal. Much as they desired the
normal to be held here those who
are interested i'll school work are
l inclined to think that better results
would follow If the entire session Of
l the normal had been held at one
S place, preferring Big Sandy, Hol-
: Today, OF any other place to the plan
! adopted last Saturday, as the time
{ Of holding the normal is too brief
for two shifts in the scenery.
