We sincerely regret to note from
the Jacksonville papers that the
finance committee Is having an up
hill task in raising the $4,000 re-
quired to meet the expenses of the
approaching Confederate reunion in
that city. 1t is never easy to raise
a large sum of money for purely
sentimental purposes, but in this
instance Jacksonville can't lose, for
the many thousands of visitors to
the reunion will spend in that city
several times more than $4,000
necessary to be raised, and looked
at from a purely selfish, mercenary
point OF view the investment will
