REBEL
CAN NOT ATTEND

during the Confederate war was pub
Usher of the Chattanooga Rebel, has
written characteristic letter to the
committee in charge oil the reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans

regret at not being able to attend.
The letter, written from New York
city and addressed to the chairman
of the committee, follows:
"I wish it were possible for me to
attend the coming Confederate re-
union. 1t is not possible, so you
must take the will for the deed.
"Ctattanooga possesses many
claims upon my affections. 1t was
there that I found my dear wife,
who, after 50 years of devotion, still
abides and between whom and my
self The relations then established
remain unbroken and unchanged.
She joins me in the regret that we
can not together revisit the scenes
of our arly lovcmaking. But at
four score ard upward functions of
every sort are beyond me.
"Perhaps it is well that l may not
again look upon the thin gay line
soon to disappear forever from the
scenes of this world, for it might
put too great a strain upon an old
mans tenderest sensibilities.
"My love to the old boys. It can
not be long when we shall NEE on

meet, be sure the Bonny Blue Flag.
will be flying at the fore, and the
bands will be playing Dixie on
parade, whilst the pretty girls will
be distributing the Chattanooga
Rebel to groups of ragged red-nosed
angels who have not forgotten the
Rebel yell.
