COMMITTEES TO MEET.
Will Arrange for Confederate Vet
erans' Reunion.

The Committee on Arrangements from
Camps Lomax and Walkner, u. C. 4,
for the entertainment of the Alabama
Division of Confederate Veterans at their
annual reunion in November will meet
tonight at o'clock in the Commercial
and Industrial Association rooms.
AS yet these committees have taken
no steps toward arranging for the good
time the old veterans expect when they
come to Montgomery in November. A
] cent mile rcte mas been arranged for
over all railroads entering into Montgom-
cry and a big attendance is assured. Inc
veterans understand that more extensive
arrangements will have to be made for
their accommodation, etc. and it is ex-
pected that full outline of the work of
the committee will be decided on at the
meeting tonight.
1t is expected that during the first day
of the reunion the entertainment will
consist largely in the meeting of the
division at some hall or theatre in Mont
gomery. That night a reception will very
proba bly, be rendered the veterans by the
ladies of the different patriotic organiza-
tons.
The parade will occupy the next morn
ing and that afternoon some other en-
tertainment is expected.
One of the most popular ideas is to
take the veterans up to the Soldiers
Home at Mountain Creek where dinner
will be served them and where they
can see what philanthropic Alabamians
are doing for the INDECENT ConfederateS
