VETERANS OF EFFlNGHAM.
Muster Roll of the Hussars Mt Time
of Their Surrender.


Reports from Springfield show that
the people of that place are making
great preparations for the reunion of
Confederate Veterans of Effingham
county to be held there Sept. 10. The
reunion will be for the Effingham
Hussars and for all other veterans of
the Confederate army in Effingham.
A parade is included in the pro-
gramme, and it is also probable that
there will be a big barbecue. The peo-
pie of bingham, for miles around
Springfield, will attend the reunion,
and it is probable that many Savan-
nahians will go. There are several vet
Grams of the Effingham Hussars in
Savannah, and all of them, unless some
grave reason prevents, will be in at
tendance.
The present members of the Effing
ham Hussars trust that the reunion
will be effective in re-awakening inter-
est in the historic troop. They are
anxious to have the command upon as
excellent a footing as it was in former
days, and they believe that the influ
ence of the veterans, If 1t can be secur
ed through the agency of reunion,
will result in the restoration of its
prestige.
Lieut. Footman of the Effinghams is
in Savannah, and he will do all he can
to see that interest in the reunion does
not flag here. He is in touch with a
number of the veterans of bingham,
and practically all have assured him
that they will foregather at Springfield
on Sept. 10. The anniversary of the
Effingham Hussars falls on Sept. s,
which is Sunday or that day would
x-<H y he OH at he do A.
for the reunion of Effingham veterans.
