VETERANS
FOR REUNION TRIP
Press of State VIII Be Asked to
Get Attention of Confede-
rate Survivors.

The next step to which the men in
charge of the movement To take all
Virginia veterans to Gettysburg in
July will address themselves is the
location of the survivors of the Con-
federate armies and navy. SO that they
may be communicated with regarding
the trip. This presents many difficult
ties. involving great labor in reach
ing the veterans. 1t is estimated that
not more than half the survivors are
members of camps.
Colonel w. =. Freeman. the division
adjutant, plans n request to the news
papers OF the State to give publicity
TO the matter. that the veterans
willing and physically able to make
the trip may report themselves TO the
local camps, or to chapters OF Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy or TO the
clerks of the courts or to the chair
men of the county boards of super
visors.
Complete cooperate ton has been Sc
cured from the Daughters OF the Con-
federacy, both In getting in touch with
veterans and In engaging in the cam
paiGn to, secure contributions from
boards and supervisors and city coun-
ellis for the purpose of dcfraying the
railroad fare of such veterans as are
unable to pay their own way
The supervisors OF some seven coun-
ties have already agreed to pay these
expenses. and it is hoped TO have all
others take similar action. James

worlds goods in the State, has agreed
to do this. and has so reported TO
