Mr. Bill Smith: Dear Sir: l saw
your letter in the News and Observer |
am real sorry you could not go TO the
reunion Don't stand on old clothes
next time, but go. This was the only one
/ have attended. We all enjoyed 1t
hugely and l know you would too. 1t
was a treat to meet some of the old boys
whom | had not seen in 50 years. You
ought to have seen Col Lane hugging
me when we met. Why, he was just as
affectionate as II year old boy on his
first counting spree. He is noble
hearted fellow any way, Bill, and always
has been. l did not meet many of the
BLOODY Goth" there The Yanks killed
them out pretty bad. They got minnie
in my thigh at Gettysburg, but the sur
geon cut it out and I've got the thlgh
vet and make right good use of it,
You ought to have been in the union
PRAYER meeting the last night of the re-
union. 1t IS up lifting to hear General
Carr and so many veterans singing the
old songs that have thrilled the souls and
rought millions to the very gates OF
heaven. This meeting was easily the
best part of the occasion.
Saw, Bal. we want to send General
Carr to Congress. Pritchard mas SO ais
graced the place by pensioning deserters'
pandering to- trusts and ignoring the
wishes and interests of the decent peo-
pie of the South that we need to send
an extra good man to the Senate now.
Mr.. Craig, Mr.. Watson and the othef
gentlemen mentioned for the place are
all right so far as I know, but for TINS
particular time we want General carr.
Much could be said as to his ability and
fitness for the place. but it is unneces-

say you all? Write again.

before horse, etc. These are free open
air attractions.
There will be show of ostriches,
pheasants, alligators, etc, from the Flor
ida Ostrich Farm. These people had
an exhibit at York, Pa, and Hagers-
town, Md, and the people at these
places were amazed at the wonderful
feats of these birds.
At night there will be interesting fire.

hibited.

prove during this year. and the build
ings having been painted white, it pre-
sents quite a neat appearance.

days of the week, although they expect
to rave four big days, making Friday as
interesting as the first day.
