New Orleans April 25-26-27 has is
sued call to veterans from other
cities to arrange their sets for an
old time Southern cotillion and Vir-
ginia reel which will be led by Gen
eral Stephen D. Lee and Mrs. Gen
eral Braxton Bragg on the night of
Thursday April 26. 1t is desired that

The old ST. Louis Hotel which is i'm
mediately opposite the Reunion hall
has been fitted up with 1000 cots,

the attendance will exceed even that
of the big reunion held here in 1904.

discredit of Railroad Commissioner
McNair remains unwritten. The
scene of this escapade was at Merrill,

account of it has but lately reached

count it in these columns. For sheer
cheekiness ia his behavior it nearly
measures up with the Sunday Jack
