The reunion of the South Georgia Brig
ade of the GeN,gia Division of United Con-
fsderate Veter.tns TO be held at Waycross
On July and %, formed the principal SUD
let of Discussion at last nights meeting
of the Confe0'.ate Veterans Association.
Gen. p. Ne :lashau, the commander of
the brigade. %as present al the meeting
and made an interesting talk relative to
the reunion al Waycross and what it was
hoped to accomplish there Gen. McGlash-
all said that t,a citizens Of the Magic City
were making tpn earnest effort to enter
tain the delei;ntes and other visitors to
the reunion liz true South Georgia style
and with an ~tuberaut and glowing hos
pitality that W"uld be certain to make the
reunion memorable among its kind.
Soon after he had assumed command Of
the brigade. upon its organization at the
state reunion here, in November he had
detelGnined that a reunion of the various
camps embraced within his command
would be necessary to make it effective.
Unless they could be gathered together and
the work of the allied camps for the com
mon cause proceed in unity and harmony,
the organization into brigades would be
but an empty name and absolutely no good
would be accomplished
He had therefore decided to order The
ass mblage of the brigade in reunion and
had selected Waycross as the place of
meeting because it was as near or nearer
the geogra phical center of the section Of
the state he commando than any other
possible place and because the citizens of
that thriving ana enterprising little city
had agreed TO furnish the attractions that
would serve to make the reunion pleasant
as well as profit BILE.
Just what form the entertainment
would take, said Gen McGlashan, he was
not pre- pared to say, as the reunion COM
mittee had not yet formulated all of its
PLANS. The programme for the two days
Of the session would be announced as
soon as ii was completed, in general or
de)s, copies of which would be sent to all
OF the camps Inc reunion committee had
