Veterans. wearers OF the gray OF the
Lost Cause. win hofd the boards and
the interest OF Montgomery and the
entire State for two days. beginning
Wednesday morning.
TIE occasion is the annual reunion Of
the Confederate Veterans Of Alabama,
and II 10 expected that the gathering
of the old warriors will be notable
one.
The Montgomery Committees that
have the reunion in their charge have
been laboring with faithful zeal and
enterprise. and It ID expected conf
be one Of the most notable that has
been given by the thin gray line that
is fading gradually from view.
Numbers Of trains that entered
Montgomery Tuesday afternoon and
night brought veterans and visitors
from various sections OF the State.
Tuesday evening a gray uniform coat
closely buttoned to the throat of Its
wearer with buttons shining. became
a familiar and usual sight about the
business section.
Little knots OF veterans and their
sons and daughters gathered about the
hotel Hobbies and corridors or at re-
union headquarters and renewed old
friendships or talked about the STIR
ring times OF 's1 to 81. There was an
ticipation in the air everywhere, and
Ii Is doubtful that the States veterans
ever assembled anywhere in reunion
with more enthusiasm over the ARRIVAL
occurrences Of their gathering than
they do at the present time.
Wednesday at 1880 o'clock, the vete-
rams will assemble in the auditorium
In the city building for the initial cere-
monies OF their gathering. 1t Is ex-
pected that the big auditorium will be
taxed to Its capacity to, provide room
and accomm odations for the veterans
and other interested people, who will
assemble. "A program of much In
terest has been arranged. aud Included
addresses by Major-General George p.
Harrison. State Commander of the
Veterans's organization; Mayor GAS
ton Gunter OF Montgomery. and others.
A striking feature of the morning SEES
sion of the reunion will be numbers OF
musical selections that will be patri-
otfcally inspiring in their nature.
The eVterans will re-assemble In the
afternoon after q recess and the days
program will be renewed and whatever
business there Is to come before the
reunion will be taken up and disposed
of.
From to o'clock wednesday af-
ternoou an automobile ride about Mont
romery and Its environs has been ar
ranged. Generous citizens who own
cars have volunteered the services of
their cars to give the veterans the
ride proposed, and the cars and party
wifi assemble at Court Square and Dex-
Ter Avenue promptly at o'clock.
returning from their ride. the Vet
erana will meet again at the Council
Chamber. to be the guests at
luncheon OF the women of Montgom-
cry.
