A special train will be provided the
Veterans by the Central. City Passen-
ger and Ticket Agent w. G. Brewer
urges all the veterans to call at his Of
flee to-day to arrange for the trip. The
train will leave at $3.50 O'Clock, rail-
road time. and it is expected that it
will reach Macon at o'clock to-mor
row morning. The veterans will remain
aboard their sleeper until their hour
for rising, when they will be at once
launched forth into the enjoyment OF
the good time that Macon has prepar-
ed for them. The reunion will
last tomorrow and Thursday
and there will be something
to entertain the visitors all the
while The Elks' Carnival is in pro-
gress, and its attractions will be added
to the pleasure of the reunion and the
interest of their meetings for the en-
tertainment of the old soldiers.
1t is expected that there will be be-
tween $500 and 1000 veterans in at
tendance. The Savannah veterans do
not know of any especially important
business that is to be brought before
the division, but it is often found that
there is enough to develop after a re-
union is on to keep all interested. Gen.
Clement A. Evans will be elected divis-
ion commander again, without doubt
and it is improbable that there will re
any material changes among the Of
ficers. Gen. Peter McGlashan has spok-
en- of resigning the command of the
South Georgia brigade. but his COM
rades do not want him to take such
action. They have insisted that, if he
persists in a determination to resign,
the reunion is not the proper place for
him to do SO, as he should wait for an
other reunion of his brigade.
Two ladies and possibly more will
accompany the veterans. Those whose
names have been announced as of the
prospective party are Mrs. A. F. Mar
melstein and Miss McIntire.
