SPANISH WAR VETERANS
TO HAVE REUNION HERE

The movement to arrange for a reunion
of the veterans of the Spanish-American
war. who served from the southern states
and which is to be held at the State Fair
here In October, next, seems to have
struck a responsive chord and many of
the volunteers from Alabama are becom-
ing keenly Interested in the matter Quite
a number of the volunteers hail from the
Birmingham district and 1t is thought
that they will all attend this reunion
that it will draw an attendance from all
over the south.
While the arrangements are merely in
a formative state yet, and have not been
shaped up so that any programme can
be announced, the Business Mems league
and the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit
association are behind the movement, and
this, together with the interest among
the local veterans, assures the reunion
being success.
Many of the veterans who live in Bir-
mingham have expressed themselves as
being in sympathy with the movement
and are. willing to do all they can to
help 1t along. 1t is quite possible that
several people who are now prominently
before the American public and who took
part as high officials in the Spanish
American war will be invited to meet the
veterans here.
