MEETING OF VETERANS.
Youngest Soldier From South Greets Young
est Soldier From North.

AS previously noted in The Register
Col. James M. Tracy of Middlebury
was in Buffalo, Texas, last week and
attended the annual camp fire of r. S.
Gould Camp, No. GIL, of United Con-
federate Veterans. The original CORE
spondence between Mr.. Tracy and
Adjutant S. A. Castles of Gould camp
was printed in the Register at the time
and was reprinted in an appreciative
story in the Boston Sunday Globe of
June %, in which excellent likenesses
of Col. Tracy and Adjt. Castles were
also published. These pictures were
republished in the Kent (Ohio) Courier
at which place Col. Tracy stopped on
his journey to Texas. These pictures
were also reproduced in many Texas
papers and other southern papers, and
the result has been that, except for the
presidential candidates, Col. Tracy has
had more newspapers publicity this
summer than any other man in the
United States. The accompanying
cuts were made especially for this
paper.
Gov O. B. Colquitt was unable to be
at Buffalo to welcome Col. Tracy, as
had been planned, but he was given a
splendid reception Notwithstanding, and
reports of it were featured in the
Houston Daily Post, the Galveston
Morning News, the Dallas Daily News
and many other Texas papers.
Perhaps the best account OF the
matter are contained in the following
special reports in the lakewood Oracle
and the Houston Post of July 26 and
July 81, respectively:
REUNION A BIG SUCCESS.
In three days reunion held here the
18th, 18th, and 10Th CT this month
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Buffalo won the banner for having the
biggest and best reunion ever held in
the county. Our people started in, as a
unit, to make it a great success, and
just how well they succeeded is now
being told near and far by those. at
tending, on one or more of these days.
The committees were well chosen; it
is impossible to give each member the

have been told that its women are
among the most refined and beautiful
on the face of Gods green EARTH and
already / am convinced that this is
true. have frequently heard it said
that no State in the Union can surpass
in gracious, generous hospitality the
Lone Star State, and if what | have
already experienced along this line is a
fair sample of this sort of goods, ] am
prepared to say that in the matter of
hospitality the beef-eaters beat the
world
Mr.. Chairman and friends:
thank you for these cordial greet
ings and this hearty welcome.
Prior to and following the Buffalo
reception Col. Tracy was more than
generously entertained in many Texan
towns and cities. the people everywhere
in the State striving to Guido their
neighbors in glad attentions to the dis
tinguished Northern visitor. In con-
sequence of physicians orders, resulting
from the excessive heat and practically
entire change of diet, Col. Tracy re-
turned home a couple of weeks earlier
than he had expected to do; and he says
that not only the weather but politics
was blazing hot in Leon county and
throughout all Texas when he bid the
State goodbye.
Some time later at a date not yet
fixed Adjutant Castles will come to Mid
dlebury to return Col. Tracy's visit and
then the people of Middlebury and
Addison county will have a chance to
show whether they can be outdone in
gracious hospitality by the large
hearted people of the South.

D. c. Dove. Mrs. A. R. Crawford of
this city, in very pleasing and inter-
estng manner, welcomed the U. d. C.s
which was beautifully responded to in
behalf of The Daughters, by Mrs. EfFie
Knowles of lakewood. Then followed
an interesting program by the Carry
Harmon Chapter, in which Mrs. Bert
Colbern, Mrs. Pearl Ludewick, Mrs.
w. c. German, Miss Gertrude Carter
and others took part-it was the Oak
wood part of the program.
Delay in the shipment of bread from
Palestine caused dinner to be two hours
late, but it was most bountiful spread
when once ready. Forty carcasses
were taken from the barbecue pits, and
these were supplemented by a basket
dinner that cannot be excelled. After
three or four thousand people had eaten,
there were 10 carcasses left, and bread
in proportions enough to have fed same
crowd again.
The larger part of the afternoon was
given to the Blue and the Gray.
AS has been frequently mentioned in
the local papers, Mr.. Sam. A. Castles,
Adjt. of the R. S. Gould Camp, Con-
federate Veterans, who holds claim to
being the youngest soldier that was in
the Confederate army, learned of Col.
Jas. M. Tracy of Middlebury, VT, who
claims to have been the youngest
soldier in the Union army during the
Civil war. A correspondence between
the two was started and kept up severa
months, during which time Mr.. Castles,
in behalf of the reunion to be held al
Buffalo, invited Col. Tracy to be pres
ent on this occasion, and as mentioned
above, he came. At 8 O'Clock Mr.
Castles delivered an address of welcome
to Col. Tracy, which must have made
the federal soldier feel something of the
charity and magnanimity dwelling ir
the hearts of true Texans. Col. Tracy
in a short and appropriate response
expressed himself as being highly de-
lighted with the reception given hin
and the very hospitable manner il
which he had been received and enter
tanned by Mr.. Castle and the people Of

Buffalo. This incident becomes a mat
ter of history, and is perhaps the most
remarkable of the kind ever before
recorded. Adjt. Castles was II years
and II days old when he was sworn into
the army, while his comrade in blue
Col. Tracy, lacked one day being IA
years old when he joined the army.
Our visitors say that it was the most
orderly and best conducted reunion they
ever attended. No drunkenness, no
quarreling or fighting.
The decorating committee, of which
Mrs. Dove was chairman, deserves
much credit The decorations were
elaborate and unexcelled. Bunting and
flags were in evidence every where.
The writer can't tell it ALL there
were too many things of interest to
relate.
One more incident and we close. Mr..
R. F. Lusk, of our town, and Mrs. w.
c. German of lakewood were made life
honorary members of r. S. Gould camp,
No Gil, u. c. V.
The veterans said, by a unanimous
vote, that the reunion must be held at
Buffalo again next year.

praise he or she is entitled to for the
entire arrangement, program and the
great amount of work accomplished.
Each member on the committee of ar
rangements was a worker, composed as
follows R. F. Lust, chairman; F. E.
Stevens, j. O. McLarty, d. c. Dove
and Jack Oliver.
The grounds were laid off in the shady
valley in the west suburbs of town,
inclosed with fences, and in the centre
was built an arbor with a seating ca
pacity for 5000 people. Water facil-
tiles were provided, also an electric
light system and telephone service were
installed-in short. oothng was left
undone, that could be done to accommo-
date the immense crowd that came
from far and near to see Buffalo and
enjoy the big reunion.
Comfort and enjoyment for the old
soldier was the leading thought in all
this preparation, and as they came they
were assigned homes, and every thing
on the grounds was free to them and
their families.
1t is impossible for us to give in
detail each days proceedings, and as
Thursday was the "big day." will tell
all we can about that and leave the
reader to guess at the other two.
The, already big crowd present, began
to grow Thursday morning, when the
people from adjoining communities be-
gan to arrive early, and when the $3.50
train pulled in, about 10 of lakewood S
best people were on it. Quite a con-
course had assembled at the depot to
receive them. On this train were some
distinguished visitors, viz; The Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy Carrie
Hannah Chapter of lakewood, also Col.
Jas. M. Tracy of Middlebury, VT,
of whom we will have more to say later
on.
AS the train slowed up the band began
to play "Dixie," while our distinguished
guests were hurried into beautifully
decorated floats and carriages prepared
for them by the reception committee
and these taking the lead, the parade
was started, reaching from the depot tc
the grand stand.
The program was continued by several
addresses: Hon. Norman G. Kittrell,
