August lsi, 1907

Is the day set for the reunion of Confederate Veterans, and it is to be hoped that all the boys and girls of 1S61-2-3-4 and , will come and make this a reunion in fact as well as name. Only a few more years and the men, who in '61 bid good-by to loved ones to take their places in the mighty armies that for four years waged the most sanguinary and unequal contest known in mans history, will be only a memory, and their deed history and such a his tory.
 Each year makes brighter the history of the Confederate soldier because each year d better un- derstanding is reached as to principles for which he fought, and the conditions under which he fought. It has been more than twenty three centuries since Leonidas and his three hundred Spartans stood in the pass at Thesmopilea and detied million. Persians. Their glory shines with undiminished splendor to- day, and should the Great King defer his coming for that mary centuries, the character and dauntless courage of the Con federate soldier will blaze in splendor, augmented by march of years.
 Let Prescott do herself honor in honoring the old soldiers that wore the gray in the war between the States. Confed.
