A VETERANS THANKS
AND APPRECIATION
Marietta Man Too Modest to
Sign His Name Ex-
presses Thanks

1t was August 28th, that Marietta
threw wide open her gates to well
come her invited guests and she was
taken possession of by something like
two thousand of the grand old Vete-
rams OF the Sixties, and we dare say
no set of men probably ever captured
so completely any place, rs did these
men Marietta.
We want to say first that we are so
grateful to Him who is the giver of
all that is good for the weather, bar
ring the heat, the weather was ideal
and there could be no cause for regrets
along that line and then again, we
are grateful for the health of our fair
little City, for so far as we know or
could find out there was no serious
sickness in any home in the circle of
activities.
Then again, we want to thank the
Committee that had charge, for the
absence of beer or other intoxicants.
Did you not see in the papers that
the Chief of Police was asked how
many arrests was made; and he said
not one. Such order rarely ever pre-
walls Think of fifteen thousand peo-
pie being handled in two days and not
one arrest made.
Then, too much praise cannot be
given the several Committees for their
noble and self-sacrificing work Sew
eral of them need special mention, but
we refrain, but will say that all Mariet-
ia is saying. Well done good and
faithful Committeeman AID you have
your reward in the CONSCIOUSNESS of
having done your full duty, and not
only Marietta, but the dear old men
that were here from the heights of
Rabun Gap to the plains of the sea-
shore are singing your praises.
Young men; old men ladies', old
and young; We thark you every one
for the part you took in this Reunion.
Then again, we want to thank our
City Authorities, from the Mayor all
along the line to the smallest official,
for the precaution taken and the skill
full manner they handled this vast
crowd. Not an accident; not a run
away team, so far as we know Could
this be excelled? We answer, nay.
And we cannot and must not fail
to mention the Boy Scouts. Noble
fellows; manfully and conscientiously
did you all perform your rart, and we
want to say that so determined were
! these boy that no visitor should be
! Overlooked, that an unfortunate blind
man was being piloted around town
i by some of these, and as we passed
near, was asked; Won't you buy
something from this man." Of course
we did
The several Ladies' Societies did
well their part, and mucn of the en-
thusiasm that was INDUCED in was due
to these organizations,a and we tip our
hats to them, but we have always
known that if you wanted any noble
work performed, get the women inter
ested in it.
Now is there any one else that de-
serves special mention. Yes. After
we have thanked these Committees
and different organizations, the Com
mittee must have feeling of gratitude
! for the hearty cooperation they met
with from the citizens of Marietta and
surrounding country.
Now, some reflection. Did you have
| fears that Marietta could not meet
the demands? Yes. no doubt you did

ADDRESS TO VETERANS
BY v. D. UPSHAW
Urges Closer Relations of Sons
of Veterans and Heroes
of the eos.

The Reunion was nearing its close
when Commander Judge John w.
Maddox introduced Mr.. Upshaw to
speak for five minutes on the relation
of the sons of Confederate Veterans to
the organization of their fathers. With
that voice of ringing eloquence which
has been heard North and South for
years in the advocary of civic, social
and religious betterment, the old-Cobb-
County-boy-on-crutches had the whole
Reunion in his grasp inside of a minute,
and before he had finished his veritable
gale of wit and eloquence the old Vete-
rams were giving a small edition of the
rebel YELL"
Mr.. Upshaw urged that the meetings
of the Sons and their fathers should be
held together. "The boys tried to have
meeting yesterday at the Armory, !"
he declared, ''but you Veterans in gray
were attracting so much attention that
our meeting simply would not meet.
Remember, that if the principles for
Which these Reunions are held are to
be transmitted to succeeding genera
lions, then that sacred task can only be
performed by the sons and daughters
of the Southern sellers; children of the
Confederacy must catch their inspira-
ton IN the same meetings where the
old gray Jackets are worn, and the
battle SCARED veterans sit in the in
spring fellowship of their high and
and holy patriotism. Oh our fathers
IN gray, you need us as your aides and
cup-bearers now, and we your sons
and daughters, need you to teach us
the principles for which Robt. E. Lee.
John B. Gordon and old Joe Johnson
fought, and Pat Cleburne, Albert
Sydney johnson and "Stone Wall Jack

Mr.. Upshaw closed his brief but stir
ring speech by congratulating the vete-
rams in gray that the Southern sun is
rising high to warm the nations heart
that the North and the nation, as never
before since Appotomax, are turning
toward the South for leadership, and
the open door will be flung wider still
when Woodrow Wilson, a former
Georgian will sit in the President
chair, and his wife. Georgia girl, will
be the queenly queen of the White
House of the nation"

enthusiasm Pres. Conner of the Deaf
and Dumb Institute of Cave Springs.

rams cEeered again and again. as that
dramatic hugging incident closed, Ma
lor Gen H. T. Davenport who had lust
been elected as Commander of the
Georgia Division, sprang to his feet
out IN the audience and paid a fervid
and eloquent tribute to the "Son of a
veteran, the crater on crutches. whose
thrilling speech had Just added new
iiaurels to the good name he already
bears as heroic force in the cause of
God and humanity" Gen. Maddox
then called on the Veterans to stand
While Mr.. Upshaw dismissed them with
touching prayer.
