ed to the city, where they went to pay
a tribute to their departed comrades
of other days. General Clement A. Ev-
ans, second IN command of the United
Confederate Veterans, assured the
Grand Army representatives that the
south was ready to welcome them and
10 give them such n reception as would
furnish overwhelming proof that sec
tional sores had been healed and that
ali animosities had been buried.
The suggestion of a Grand Army en-
campment at Atlanta must appeal to
the sentiment of the veterans. Some
lorty-three years ago many of the mon
who are members of the organization
encamped in the neighborhood of At
lanta and later moved into the city.
Their reception was exceedingly warm,
even ii it was moi cardial. The approx
al coming from all sections OF the
south OF the movement for securing
the encampment for Atlanta in 1910 rs
assurance that the warmth OF the re
ception of the veterans in 1910 would
equal that of forty-three years ago
with the elements of cordially and
hospitality added. Recent years have
witnessed many gatherings at which
men who wore the blue and men who
fought under the stars N bars haEe
mingled as friends. The holding oi
the Grand Army of the Republic en-
campment at Atlanta would be a gen

grown, that exists between sections
and men. 1t would be a victory On
peace instead of war.-Omaha Bee.
