LIST OF THOSE ON PROGRAM
DR.. Stuart Mcclure Will Adj
dress Confederated Army and

Although 1t will be entirely novel
in Richmond and in the South, one of
the most pleasing and noteworthy
features OF the coming Confederate Re-
union will be a series of speeches by
several ladies' who have been connected
with the various Confederate organiza-
lions.
This is considered most fitting, in
asmuch as the ladies have so success
fully completed the undertaking of
raising funds for the Davis Monument.
and have also supervised its erection
with suc'l care and attention.
The occasion on which the ladies will
make public addresses will be the
closing day of the reunion, Monday
June Sd. 1t is generally agreed that
this will be the great day of the re-
union. for 1t is on this occasion that the
Davis Monument will be unveiled. and
that the most imposing of the parades
Will take place. Addresses are to be de-
llvered on this date by the Governor.
