 Great Throng of Veterans.
 The crowds which 2ourd into the city yesterday were dis tinct sSrprise to the local veterans. The attendance of yes- terday was unexpected It was known that an immense throng would be here today and tomorrow, but the immense advance guard of old Confederates which came in yesterday was hardly expected. Every train coming into the city yester- day was crowded to the doors. There was hardly standing room in any of the coaches which rolled into the Union rail- way station.
 The influx of visitors began early yes- terday morning and it ended only when the last train came in last night. The scene at the depot was a busy one throughout the day and far into the night.
 It was estimated last right that nearly coo veterans reached Montgomery yester- day. Tho number of other visitors who came to Montgomery because of the low railroad ticket rates was many times larger.
 Today the attendance, on the reunion, 1t is confidently expected, will reach im- mense proportions.
 Many Wore Gray Suits.
 A striking feature of the crowds which reached the city yesterday was the num- Der of veterans who proudly wore suits of Confederate gray.
 The general headquarters for the re- union were established in the vacant store on South CoIrt Street. opposite the office of Judge J. B. Fuller. commander of Camp Lomax. United Confederate Vete- rans. Here chairs and seats are provided for veterans who may become weary and here veterans are given an opportunity of registering, so that they may be To- cated by their comrades.
 The headquarters yesterday was the scene of many touching reunions, as an old soldier would grasp the hand of a whom he had not seen for years and greet him with trembling lips and moistened eyes.
 The headquarters will be kept open throughout the reunion. and veterans will always be welcome
 The headquarters of the 1st brigade will be at the office of Judge J. B. Fuller, IT 1-2 South Court Street.
 The division headquarters will be at the Exchange Hotel. where General George P. Harrison of Opelka. Major General. the division, is staying.

WHITE-HAIRED HEROES OF CONFEDERACY
 / POURING INTO MONTGOMERY FOR REUNION
WANTS NEXT REUNION
HUNTSVILLE DELEGATES WILL
 INVITE VETERANS.
North Alabama City will Make Bid for old Soldiers to Meet There Next Year-Birming-
 ham Wants It.

Huntsville wants the next annual re- union of the Alabama Division of United Confederate Veterans. and strong dele- sation. headed by President R. E. Pettus of the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce, is here to press its claims.
 Camp Egbert Jones, United Confederate Veterans, of Huntsville, has passed set of strong resolutions inviting the Ala bama Division to hold the reunion of lsoa in that city Eight or ten members Of the Huntsville camp reached Montgomery last night and a united effort will be made in the business sessions of the Alabama Division to have Huntsville selected as the next meeting place.
 President Pettus bears from the Cham Der of Commerce of Huntsville cordial invitation and an assurance Of hearty welcome to the veterans. He is enthusi- astic in his description of Huntsville. It's prosperity and its future.
 Birmingham, 1t Is said, will also make its annual bid for the reunion. The Jef- ferson County Veterans are desirous Of having the next reunion held In that city, and they are backed by the business men of Birmingham. Birmingham, last year, made a determined effort to have this years reunion fixed for the Magic City, but the city's advocates were decfsively voted down by the overwhelming major ity which favored Montgomery.
 Montgomery is altogether the popular place for holding the reunions of the Alabama Division. The veterans last year were slmost unanimous in its favor. and it is said that there has been no change of the sentiment Not only is Montgom- cry favored because of its central loca- tion, but as the Cradle of the Confederacy, many of the tenderest sentiments Of the old soldiers of the Confederacy cling about it.
 The unqualified success of the reunion of last year and the indications which point to an even greater success this year gives Montgomery prestige as the favor ite reunion city among the veterans.
