take part in the proceedings of the ninth
annual Reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans The camp met at the depot
where they were presented with beautiful
banner, the handiwork of their pretty and
accomplished sponsor, Miss Norvelle Rich

neat and appropriate speech. Colonel

sponded in speech Of thanks
There was large crowd at the depot to
see the ..old boys" off, and when the train
rolled ND, Sponsor Miss Richardson, with
one of the maids of honor. Miss Nellie Nell
son, stepped aboard amid cheers. then the
veterans and other passengers began the
task of finding seats Several other camps
were on the train and as it rolled along the
old vets" went from car 10 car to see their
comrades.
The train arrived in Charleston before
dark, and our camp WAS immediately
marched to the Confederate Hotel on East
Bay, Il distance of over mile. and when
they reached their deStina ion some Of them
were well worn out. The quarters was IN
one of the cotton warehouses, where 5000
cots had been provided; everything was
comfortably arranged and in a short while
there was general fuce washing. When
the writer, who accompanied the 'vets.
saw that they were fixed for the night. he
babe them farewell.
Whenever We came across any of our
men in the tremendous crowds we found
thew were having fine time and they
were warm with their praises for those
who had charge of their lodgings and
food arrangements. Think of 5000 men
being lodged and fed at one place free of
charge, and everything so managed as to
prevent complaints.
Ibe grand procession was the event OF
the occasion Our men made good show
and some of them seemed proud Of the
privilege of marching with their comrades.
The time was spent in SIGHT seeing. and
the committees to look after the old soldiers
saw to it that no man was lacking for at
tention.
The Reunion was grand success, and
We hope those who participated in this one
will enjoy the privilege Of attending many
