Jacksonville Prepares
For Comic lerate Veterans

| ONOASOAN AAANS Adsa l. GU L liz
Oath annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans association
and Sons of Confederate Veterans
will be held in this city three days,
April $3.50 and May L, and plans
for entertaining them are now be-
ing perfected by the officials of the
Jacksonville Reunion Association
and thirty committees appointed
by President Foor of the eosocia-
ton.
Jacksonville has an ambition to
entertain the survivors of the Con-
federate armies and their friends,
better if possible than they have
ever been entertained before. An
interesting program will be ar
ranged for the reception and en-
tertainment of the visitors and no
matter bow large the attendance
may be, all will be satisfactorily
entertained. In everything that
goes to make the handling of large
crowds On ecsy task, Jacksonville
is we'll supplied. 1t has the trans
port .tion facilities, the hotels and
streets, all necessary to the succe :
ful banding of reunion crowd.
The jacksonville program will
change in at least two important
particulars the customary re,
union methods. It is the pur-
pose of the association to put
many of the old soldiers, who
have at other reunions been
cared for at a camp, in hotels,
boarding houses a n d private
homes where they will have
more comfortable quarters and
better entertainment. Jackson
vile believes that it will be more
pleasant for the veterans to be
cared for in that manner than in
camp, and many if not all of them
will be assigned to such quar- els.
Another change in program will
be seen in the parade Of old SOL
dlers. Instead of walking, they
will ride in carriages and automo-
mobiles. 1t is realized here that a
big majority of the veterans who
followed the fortunes of the ST RS
and Bars, are DOW past 70 years
of age. Many of them are physi-
calIY Unable to march Two hours
in the sun, notwithstanding the
fact thot they fight it out with
their old time ourage end determi-
nation. This fact h. been ape r.
ent to younger observers at recero
rer1ions, if not the old men them
selves.
The time is rapidly approach
ing when the ST., yivors of the
civil war, north and south, must
quit marching in parades as a
spectacle for admiring eyes. It
has been almost ffty-one veal
since the battles of Gettysburg
and Chickamauga-since the con-
suming flames Of war on those
historic fields tried Amer ican
valor and courage and found them
tfue. The average age of the
contestantsin those titaric stl ug-
giles was twenty years; hence the
