 geSts An innovation VETERANS WILL BE IN ONE The Other Is To Be Made Up of spon- eors, Maids, National Guard and
 All Others Wishing To
 Take Part.
VETERANS WILL BE IN ONE

 T want two parades this year. In tho one there are to be no men but Confed- crates. In the other the sponsors, maids. National Guard and all others that your committee wish to put in. In this I am sure that many of the old boys will go. but that is a matter each must decide for himself

 Gen. George P Harrison of OpelilIa, commander of the Alabama division, u. C. ", writes that he will come to Blr- mlngham for the purpose of conference whenever called by the executive conl- mittee
 There will be meeting this afternoon at o'clock in the Commercial Club rooms of the finance committee. At that time Chairman M. V. Joseph will discuss with the members of the committee a plan he has outlined to raise the fund needed 10 entertain the veterans.
 Subcommittee will be appointed, and various suggestions which have been made will be considered Chairman Joseph ex- presses himself as confident that Blrming- ham will be equal to the occasion and that the reunion of 1908 will weasure up to all that the veterans and the people of Birmingham could wish.
