Never since the days of the I.atoie-

Mrs. Jeffries Explains Pos tiOn of Local Union in Ref erence to Free Ice
 Water for Reunion

In reference to the proposition mac
 by the Woman's Christian Temperano union to furnish free ice water durin the reunion, Mrs. w. H. Jeffries, chail
 man of the committee having the matte in charge, made the following statemer yesterday:
 At the reunion of Confederate Ve

 to that date, the Woman's Christian Ten
 perance union furnished free ice wate
 placing barrels of water at many point
 in the business district along the line (
 march, and at the place of meeting. Tw
 months ago the organization announce that it would extend the same courtes at the coming reunion. Permission ws secured from the general committee ar arrangements perfected, when it wa learned that a business firm, desiring | use the method for dvertising purpose had also secured permission, and wa making similar arrangements. As the firm was unwilling to witt draw, the Woman's Christian Temperate union was obliged to forego the courtes which would have been a privilege and pleasure to have extended the veteran at, probably, their last reunion, and [ the public in general. This statement made in justice to the organization. MRS. w. H. JEFFRIES For the Womans Christian Temperanc Union
