 Owens Office Is Busy.
 The office of Dr. Thomas NJ Owen. commander in chief of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans is rushed with the final arrangements for the reunion in New Orleans, and reports on the his tory work and other affairs of the con federation are now being made up. There are however, quite number of camps which have not sent in their per capita tax, and with the new rules, they may find it embarrassing. Heretofore it has been the practice to let these matters run along to the time of the reunion and pay there, but this will not be allowed this year, and all camps must have their tax money in to the commander in chief before leaving for New Orleans.
