CAMP ESTABLISHED
 AT FAIRGROUNDS
Completed for Accom- mediation of Veterans Sleep
 ing Quarters

large force of men started work yes terday at the State Fair grounds prepar-- ing for the Confederate veterans. The workmen are making the necessary changes in the buildings so as to provide the most convenient arrangements for the old soldiers when they come to Rirming- ham for the reunion. The fairgrounds will be arranged so that camps will be made for individual regiments The cots that have been borrowed from the United States government will arrive at the fair grounds Monday morning The cots will be numbered and as a veteran is regis tered at the reunion headquarters he will be assigned to a certain cot in certain section at the dormitory In this way it is expected that the veterans will not be- come confused but will find everything conveniently arranged for them at the fairgrounds
 In addition to fixing the sleeping quar- ters yesterday it is also annoupced that workmen started making the- gas and electric connections for the kitchen which is to be operated for the veterans. With this work well under way and with all de- tails at headquarters handled up-to-the- minute, it is certain that everything will be ready on timex

ELABORATE PLANS FOR ENTERTAINMENTS
 AT THE FAIRGROUNDS

In order to provide the greatest va riety of entertainment at the State Fair grounds for the veterans during the re- union it is stated that plans are being formulated by the committee in charge to have horse races for the old veterans free of cost. The plans are in a tenta- tive stage at this time, but it is highly probable that the races will be held.
 Chairman R. A. Brown of the execu- tive committee has arranged for the veterans to have a musical concert every day during the reunion. They will also have dances every day and every night if they so elect. while during the day and early evenings there will be vaudeville stunts provided in front or the grand stand. On the taird day the sham battle will be held.
 Mr. Brown is making very elaborate plans for the entertainment of the vet erans at the State Fair grounds. He announced in the beginning that the reunion was for veterans and that every effort would be made to provide the maximum of entertainment for the veterans The official slogan, Veterans hrst' was taken to heart by MT. Brown and he has hammered that sen timent into every member of the re- union organiza ton. Birmingham will therefore entertain the veterans and it will certainly be Veterans first"

 We desire to announce that the of ficial reunion programme in charge of Richard, w. Massey will not contain any advertising matter of any nature and that the programme being pre- pared by MT.

The Jefferson County Good Roads Association to Ad- vocate Birmingham
 Route for Highway

The matter of through highway from Memphis to Birmingham to Atlanta, con meeting with the southern national high way at Memphis, will be immediately taken up by the.

This was re- ferred back to MT. O'Neill. and he will take it up actively
 The matter of the proposed branch of the southern highway connecting Mem phis,. Birmingham and Atlanta will be actively taken up by the county body. It is proposed that this road come from Memphis, via Jasper and the proposed Warrior river highway into Birmingham, passing on out of Birmingham over the Trussville road into the Leeds-Lovick road, thence to Atlanta.
 The United States Good Roads asso- citation, of which Senator John H. Bank head is president. is pushing this move ment, and is actively cooperating with the work along the route.
