Gen. G. w. Bruce of Conway, con- manding the Third brigade, United Confederate Veterans, today issued the following circular to the camps under his command, urging attend ance at the annual reunion to be held at Jacksonville:
 Conway, Ark, Feb. 20, 1914. Circular No. l.
 Attention is hereby called to the fact that our next reunion of the U. |C. V. is to meet at Jacksonville, Fla, and embraces the 5th to the 7th of May, inclusive. And it is the desire of the commander of this the Third brigade of the Arkansas division, that las many of the veterans residing within the territory of said brigade as possible should attend. The Third brigade of the Arkansas division in- cludes the counties of Franklin, Craw- ford, Washington, Benton, Carroll, Madison, Newton, Boone, Marion, Baxter, Stone, Searcy, Van Buren, Ceburne, Faulkner, Johnson, Pope and Conway.
 The following IS q roster of the camps organized within the above ter ritory: Camp Mo- S9, Cabal, at Ben tonville, Benton county; 191, Pat Gle burne, at Charleston, Franklin coun- ty; POT, Robt. w. Harper, at Morril ton, Conway county; 213, Jeff Davis, at Conway, Faulkner county; 216, W. H. Brooks, at Fayetteville, Washing ton county; 384, Prairie Grove, at Prairie Grove, Washington county; 638, John G. Fletcher, at Berryville, Carroll county; 864, Stonewall Jack son, at Altus, Franklin county; 977, Ben T. Embry, at Russellville, Pope county; 1031, John F. Hill, at Clarks- vile, Johnson county; TAI, Fitzhugh Lee, at Ozark, Franklin county; 1866, Jas. H. Berry, at Springdale, Wash ington county; 1294, J. T. Stewart, at Van Buren, Crawford county; 1928, Macintosh, at Mulberry, Crawford county; 1858, Ross Ruble, at Belle fonte, Boone county; 1893, Stonewall Jackson, at Huntsville, Madison county.
 Your commander would state that it is the desire that all Confederate veterans should at once take steps to attach themselves to some organized camp, if in reach of them, and if there is sufficient number in any given To- cality that they organize themselves into new camp and apply at once to General J. Kellogg, adjutant general, Arkansas division, U. c. V, at Little Rock, for a copy of the constitution and bylaws. The reason for these or ganizations of veterans is obvious, one of which is contemplated legislation in their behalf, as well as closer rela- tion between comrades. It is under stood that the fare from Arkansas points to Jacksonville and return will Dc dPPIoALiiatCiy P1C.co, cti1HouSh IL is not definitely arranged, but will be soon. Jacksonville, Fla, being nearer the Atlantic coast and being from eight to 10 hours run by steamer to Havana, Cuba, those in charge of the reunion, it is understood, are arrang- ing for all who desire to make a side trip to Havana and return for very low fare, can take advantage of that offer.
 And now, realizing that our surviv- ing comrades will not much longer be able to answer at roll call, and know ing their fidelity and faithfulness when duty called in the midst of dan ger, has always been the admiration of those with whom they met in dead ly conflict as we'll as the world looking on And as they are still reading the proof sheets of the historian who writes of the reasons and causes of that memorable conflict in which it was their duty to participate, let us combine our efforts to purge history of it's errors and mistakes.
