The secretary OF the press committee
for the coming reunion Of the Society OF
the Army of West Virginia is now re-
ceirins many postal card replies to in
qulrles sent out a few days ago with the
first issue OF The Reunion Bulletin"
and It is seen that the committees
bulletin service Is giving to the reunion
wider publicity than has been given
any event ever before engineered by
Wheeling people. Thirty papers OF the
400 that were asked to use the bulletins
have answered in the affirmative and
only two so far nave declined to use
them.
II the same proportion obtains for the
others, the service will be used by 375
papers IN West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky,
having an average circulation OF 5000,
making an aggregate circulation of
1,125,O00 copies, and reaching probably
5000. 900 people In the great central west.
With the reunion frequently brought be-
fore rhis large proportion Of the coun-
try's population the reunion will surely
be doomed as no other Wheeling gather
ing has been doomed.
