CONFEDERATE REUNION.

As stated in the Gazette of that day
the programme for the Confederate re-
union at Petersburg WAS marred by rain
yesterday Decessitating the omission OF
the two principal features-the parade
and the reproduction of the Battle of the
Crater. The grand camp held no regu-
lar session, but the Virginia Division of
the United Confederate Veterans held its
annual session, Judge T. 5. Garnett, Of
Norfolk, major general commanding, pre-
siding. General Garneit's annual report
was a review Of the past years work OF
the organizations of veterans. The old
old officers were reelected.
The dividing of the Third Brigade of
the Virginia Division, thus creating a
Fourth Brigade, was the feature of the
meeting. Under the new arrangement
all territory north of HsrrisOnburg in the
Valley and north of Culpeper constitutes
the third brigade, to be commanded by
r. d. Funkhauser, while all territory
south of these points becomes the Fourth
Brigade, with James Bumgardner, of
Stanton, commanding.
The Veterans of Gen. William Ma
homes Brigade, which made the famous
charge at the Crater, July 80, 1864, re-
pulsing the federal sssault, held a re-
union in the morning, comparatively few
answering the rollcall of the Crater
Legion, which is formed of the partici-
pants in the battle. Col. Edward NJ.
Field, of Petersburg, the present rank
ing officer of Mahone's Brigade, called
the meeting to order and then yielded
to Col. William H. Stewart, of Ports
mouth, commander of the Crater Legion,
who presided. George S. Bernard, of
A. p. Hill Camp, Petersburg. made the
address of welcome to his old comrades,
to which Colonel Stewart responded.
Col. w. II. Stewart was unanimously
reelected chief of the legion. The ap
pearance of Mrs. General Malone, who
was introduced by Colonel Stewart,
aroused the soldiers of her husbands
famous command to great enthusiasm,
the subsequent introduction of her
daughter, Mrs Otelia Malone McGill,
and Mrs. James McGill, daughter of
Gen. A. P. Hill, receiving like ovatiOns.
After roll-call and presentation of
medals to survivors of the Crater charge
Colonel Stewart made stirring address
to the veterans.
At big meeting OF Virginia Division,
United Sons of Confederate Veterans,
in the evening, presided over by Com
mander E. Lee T1inkle, of Wytheyille,
Rev. J. Gray McAlIister, Of Hamden-
Sidney, made the principal address.
Rev. DR.. j. A. Foster welcomed the
Sous, for whom Aylette Ashby, of New
port News, responded. John B. Light
foot, of Richmond, adjutan. of the d.
vision, made the address presenting the
sponsors and maid of honor, and Aubrey
E. Strobe, of Lyuchburg, responded.
At meeting of the old "Stonewall
Brigade" the following officers were
elected: President, Capt. J. H. Morton,
of stanton; vice president, Capt. j. NJ.
McFarlind, of Hagerstown; chaplain,
Rev. DIR. ID. Blair; secretary, Thomas 5.

Some seasonable Advice

1t may be piece of superhuous adj,
vice 10 urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure ID be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hesi-
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
