REUNION OF OLD

LYNNvILLE ENTERTAlNs vETER
ANS OF THE C. S. A.-soL-
DIERs SPEAK.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LYNNVILLE, Tenn, Sept. "a
Several hundred veterans of the Con-
federacy assembled here yesterday in
the reunion. There were probably
1000 people on the ground, several
of them being young men and women.
The weather was excellent, and the
reunion was pronounced success.
The orator Of the occasion was Dr. X.
Lin Cave, pastor of the woodland
street Christian church, of Nashville.
He referred eloquently to the times
gone by, when he was follower OF
the peerless leader of the Army OF the
Potomac, Gen. Robert e. Lee.
He was followed by Gel. H. Allen
Brown, of Columbia, another veteran
OF the Virginia army, who created
great enthusiasm with ringing
speech, filed with anecdotes from his
experience, when he was a gallant fol-
lower of the stars an dbars.
Each family spread Cloth for the
barbecue and the feast that follow
cd was uneqUalled.
Early in the morning the old SOL
diers participated in a parade, some
OF them in uniform. For one day at
least the flag Of the Confederacy was
raised in triumph above the stars and
stripes.
Col. Brown called special attention
to the fact that the histories and text
books used in the schools Of the South
were written by Northern men, but
did not speak in spirit of criticism
or resentment, but suggested that the
South had furnished many great men,
and that 1t was nothing more than JUS
tice that The section should prepare
text books, etc, which would bring out
the achievements OF the people of this
section, and give them greater pr'mi-
hence.
The suggestion met favorable re-
ception by the audience, and 1t was
thought advisable to. appoint ccm-
mittee to investigate the question. and
see what action should be taken,

WOMAN SAYS HER
HUSBAND HAS ONE
WIFE TOO MANY
''lf Bigamy Is Crime in Jersey
Spouse Wants Man
Arrested.

City Clerk James f. Connolly has
turned over to the police department a
letter that he received from Mrs. Maude
she asks advice and information rela-
tive to her husband, who left her over
six years ago and came to Newark,
where. she says, he married another
woman and is believed to be living
somewhere in the city at this time.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the local authorities
on September &c. when Oscar
+. Tanning, of Sag Harbor, wrote
to the city clerk and asked for a certi-
fled copy Of the record of the marriage
of Edward Richardson and Florence
Hand, stating that the record was
wanted for official purposes.
The record in the city clerks office
shows that Eddie" Richardson and
Florence Hand were married December
6, 1906, by the Rev. James |. Vance. The
man stated that he was single and gave
his age as 81 and his home as 211 Jelliff
avenue, this city. He a he was d
machinist by trade. The girl said she
was the daughter Of Nathan and Mary
Hand, and gave her age as 20. AT that
time the law did not require that the
woman's address be given, so there is
nothing on the records to show where
her home was at that time. The city
directory does not show the name of
either Nathan Hand or Edward Rich
ardson, but the police believe thai the
latter is either living in the city or in
a nearby suburb.

come here and make a formal COM
plant against. her husband. In tho
