my which wore the gray" which is to be held in Mobile for three days, begin ming November 20. gave The Advertiser the following information with refer ence to the entertainment for the occas- ion, so far outlined.
 the sixth annual State reunion. will. as you know. be held in Mobile on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, November 20. 21 and 22. These days have been definitely settled upon, as has been stated in The Advertiser. the general reunion committee having se- leoted and recommended them to Gen George P. Harris.a, commander -in- chief of the Alabama Division. United Confederate Veterans. who has accept ed these dates.
 Tt is true the dates selected are a little late in the season. and there is a bare possibility of the weather being chilly at that time making outdoor entertainment uncomfortable. especial ly to old people. but the reunion com. mittee could not select an earlier date in November with the State election and other important events.
 The reunion this year. unlike the former ones. will continue for three days, instead of two. This was done on the recommendation of General Harri-
 
 would give more time to the Veterans to rest and enjoy themselves. see the city and appreciate the hospitality of Mobilians. Of course the holding of three days reunion will tax our peo- pie, but we do not apprehend any trou- bie in having sufficient funds to give the Confederates genuine. good time Our people are glad. at all times. to give the Confederates a good time: they are in thorough accord with the general committee and have already expressed willingness to pay the freight.

Those not prepared to secure and pay for their own lodgings shall not go un- looked after.
