All these musicians are old timers
n The game of p.usic. Many Of them
we're members of the Chamber of
Commerce Band. They have been
disorganized, but Mr.. Cochran has
assembled them and organized them
and they will constitute one of the
very test bands in the state, and the
sweet strains of Dixie" will fill the
air on the days Of the reunion.
And that is not all. The annual
Confederate ball is to be given as a
feature OF the reunion, and Mr.. Coch'
ran has an orchestra made up, also,
Of local people who will furnish music
for that event.
Another feature OF the reunion Will
be the annual address. to be delivered
by j. Il. Champion of this city.
The address last year in Ada was
delivered by Luther Harrison and
the old soldiers were so well pleased
with it that he was induced to 20
to the national reunion where he de-
lvered the same address. Mr.. Har-
rison was the first son Of a veteran
that was ever accorded this honor.
1t will also be observed that Mari
eta people will take part on the
program and will help to furnish
music for the occasion.
The campfire and old fiddlers' con-
test will be big feature. There VIII
be many thousands of people in Cen
trail Park when the campfire IS held
and there will be some unusual events
