ON TO DALLAS.
Preparation Making For Through Train to
the Confederate Veteran Reunion.

Maj. Henry A. London, who Is chief
OF staff of the Confederate Veterans of
North Carolina, makes this announce
nlent this week in his paper, the Chat
ham Record:
Gen. j. S. Carr as commander of the
North Carolina Division of the United
Confederate Veterans, is making arrange
ments for a through train from Raleigh
to Dallas, for the accommodation OF
those who may wish to attend the re-
union at Dallas.
IF enough persons will go the train
Will leave Raleigh at $3.50 p. M, on Sat
urdaY, the 10Th of April. on the Southern
Railroad, arrive at New Orleans at 1925
p m, next day and at Dallas at $40 p.
M, on Monday. The reunion opens next
day. April end. The train will leave
Dallas Friday evening, Apri 25th. or next
morning as may be preferred.
cit is hoped that another through train
may be run on the Seaboard Air Line
for the accommodation of those who may
find it more convenient to travel by that
route.
THE fare will probably be the same
as at previous reunions, which is enc
cent a. mile each way. This would be
about $25 for a ticket from Raleigh to
Dallas and return. Berths or seats in
Pullman cars would be extra. This low
fare applies, not only to veterans but to
anybody who wishes to go to Dallas at
that time, and no doubt many persons
will take advantage of so low a rate in
order to visit relatives and friends IN
Texas.
"All veterans or other persons, who
wish to go to the reunion, are requested
at their earliest convenience to notify
General Carr, so that he may know in
time to accommodate them on the pro-
posed through train. and also state
whether they WISH to travel in a Pull
man coach.
"All papers in the State are requested
to publish the above for the inform,
ton of their readers who fnHy wish to
attend the reunion
