 To the officers and Members of Caunps
 U. c. V:
 Comrades-As there prevails amona the members of our Federation a great deal of uncertainty as to what pro. vision will be made by the Louisville Reunion Committee for the entertain- ment Of the sponsors and maids Of hon. or who may be in attendance at the ap- preaching reunion, the general com manding feels that he should let those interested understand exactly what will be done.
 The committee is very desirous that there should be a large attendance of sponsors and maids from departments, divisions, brigades and camps, and are determined to do all possible to render pleasant the soJourn of all sponsors and maids who come to Louisville, and shall see that they are supplied with invitations to the various balls and en- tertatnments that are given; but cannot attempt to meet the hotel expenses Of the two thousand who will be present, or provide them with escorts or car- riages. These must be provided by those who select the young ladies' to these positions. Neither can the com 'mittee allow them in the parade, even though they supply themselves with carriages, as the line must be made as short as possible, that the old heroes, for whose pleasure the reunions are given, who are rapidly growing fewer in numbers and feebler in body, may not be shut out of the entire line of march.
 The only provision that the Reunion Committee will make, will be to supply hotel accommodations at the Gait House (the general headquarters) for one sponsor and one maid of honor from general, department and division head quarters for June IA, 15 and IS. and furnish carriages for them in the pa- rade.

whnt,a to Be Done.

What is to be done in camp this year? Referring to this question The National Guardsmen put 1t up to the commanding officers to give the boys something new. It says:
 "As the season for the annual camps of Instruction approaches the question of what the instruction shall consist of is forcibly brought to mind. Will the same old pragram of guard mount company and battalion drill and even ing parade be followed? Or will some plan promising a wider scope be at- tempted? Some of the States are plan ming practice marches that promise well. but the greater number have, as wei. announced no plans other than those of previous years. To go into camp where the tents are all in posi- tIon: the mess kitchens equipped with steel ranges; the commiSsary depart rnent ready to issue a predetermlned assortment of rations, with the reaul- sitIon to be made accordingly ana the ouartermasters' duties assumed by some employe of the State, certainly does not prepare any one for the actual duties of the field, at least not 10 the extent of making them familiar with the problems then to be met Easy nractice marches, with every one per forming the duties of his station' holo out the promise of the very widest Uars,e of experience possible in time of peace, if the instruction is the purpose borne fin mind and the number of miles to be marched each day Is ignored.

 Thompson had met his old college mate, Dennison, on the street and car- ried him home in triumph to enjoy the double pleasure of showing Dennison, whom he had not seen since college days, his cozy little home and his hand some wife and his thriving brood or little Thompsons, and of showing his wife his old-time and brilliant friend
 Soon after leaving college Deanfson had gone to South America to engage in coffee raising and had not been In the States since. MeantimeI Thompson had drifted out west and built up a fine law practice and had married and was getting on famously.,
 The meeting had been wholly unex- uected and most cordial on both sides bennison accepted Thompson's invita- tion with alacrity. adding that the meeting was most fortunate in that he Dennison, was on a very important mission in the pursuance Of which Thompson might be of great value to him.

Tonight sha2l- be given to chewing old acquaintance and learning what has happened since last  somest woman, the finest children and the happiest home on the continent Tomorrow we will take up your mat ter and anything I can do for you. rest assured I will do."
 Agreed" replied Dennison heartily
 Nothing could exceed the genuine enthusiasm of Dennison over Thomp- aon's home. Both inside and out il was a model place, and he took as live Nv an interest in the garden, the roses, tbe harm. the color of the exterior Snewiy painted), the inside arrange ments (Thompson had drawn the gen. eral design himself), the furnishings the books and pictures-indeed of the home as a whole and in detail.
 Mrs. Thompson was busy with the dinner whent they arrived, and begged to be excused until that important function had been pushed along to the point at which she could leave 1t safely with the maid. So Thompson charged about, gathering the little Thompsons in, one at time, and showing them personally to his old friend.
 While the enthusiasm was at it's height Mrs Thompson came in Thompson was out just at, the moment capturing the oldest and most refractory of his brood, who preferred to play ball in the back yard to appearing in the parlor.
 When Mrs. Thompson came in she glanced about for her husband, then stepped gracefully forward. saying:

There is a great deal of activity and hustle in military circles just now. The organizations arc all recruiting up their strength, and everything Is pe- ing put in readiness for tho approach ing camps. Each organization IS to camp separately this year and the com manding officers are kept busy arrahs- ing the preIiminaries. The Srd regi- ment comes first on June 15th at An niston. It was thought at one time that this regiment would come to Mont romery. In fact, Lieutenant-C Colonel H. B. Kennedy while commanding, was often heard to say that he wanted 10 come to Montgomery to redeem the good name of the regiment and restore its prestige in this part of the state' as he was sure he could have one or the most orderly and well-behaved camps ever held in the State.
 since Col. W. II. McKleroy has ns- stunned command he has been under- stood to be much of the same nina, put 1t is said that Anpiston did so much better than Montgomery in the bidding that there was no other alternative. The place selected is beautlful anu desirable one from many viewpoints and 1t is sure that the cholce VIII pS mo loss 10 the regiment. There are now fen companies in the organization and inc whole number may be made up De- fore camp. With the ten companies, the strength in camp will be about 4oo men. and 1t is not doubted that the reg iment will make a creditable record this year. .so,.
 The 2ud regiment will come to Mont gomery, although the order mas not been formally issued. Made up or lhs flower of the young men of this DOT ton of the State this organization could not appropriately go anyWnere elsS and it need not be said that the poys will meet a hearty and cordial wei come In the Capital City, and tho so- cial functions will be more numerous and elaborate this year than ever De- fore, The outlook Is most propitlous for a beneficial and pleasant camp ana there is not much risk in saying that if will equal any of the others.
 The 1st Regiment and the Cavalry will probably go to Mobile, while the location of the Artillery IS still prop lematical. The time for all of them will not be later than July.
 The Troop of Cavalry ut Selma, Troop c, has recently elected new ofn- cers. who are said to be well qualified and most enthusiastic and the future for the organization Is said to De eN- ceedinRly bright. Sergeant Cothran, promoted to the captaincy, has had large military experience and It Is thought he possesses marked executive ability.

 Notable among those who stood over his bier and who shed tears for the brilliant and impulsive man, who slept. were soldiers oS the Confederacy.
