attractions the glorious Common
wealth of Kentucky has to offer to the

most heartily approves of the action
which made the great city Of Louis

in 1905. The inclemcncy of the
weather at the reunion of 1900 practi-

preparations to attend this grand
gathering. Let them at once set about
selecting delegates and alternates, and
use every effort to have a large attend

deed, be the largest and most repre-
sentative ever held. He begs all Con-
federate soldiers, whether of the Ar

camps, or-not to meet in Louisville and
