 gro the People of Mobile:
 The General Committee appointed by the Commercial Club to make necessary arrangements for the reception and en- tertainment of the Alabama Confeder- ate veterans are gratified to make pub lie the fact that they are encouraged by the cheerful responses and that the success of the reunion is virtually as- sured. As this is practically the first reunion of the old veterans In Mobile, as Mobile was the last Southern city occupied by the invading army in 1865. as Mobiles fidelity and hospitality Is recognized wherever its name is known. we trust that it may not be amiss to cordially appeal to all our citizens to cooperate and individually to make the occasion in question one long to be remembered.
 Those old heroes who are to be- come our guests barred their manly bos oms for four trying years to shield your homes from an invading foe. They wrote the name of the South side by side with that of Sparta within the an- nals of patriotic sacrifice and manly courage. Their deeds reflect luster on the every part of the South. These scared veterans will soon have passed to the other shore to rest where rest Stonewau Jackson and Robert E. Lee. under the eternal shade of the trees which grow on the other shore.
 Let us remember them while they remain with us for they commend our hospitality with our gratitude. Let the occasion of their coming be an event memorable in the lives of our most hos- pitable citizen. Let men, women and children welcome them.
