It was our great pleasure to be present at the first three
days of the confederate Reunion at Louisville, KY., last week, but to try to
give a detailed account of same would be an utter impossibility this week owing
to our crowded condition. The old veterans were there in large numbers from
every state, and each one seemed to enjoy himself to the fullest extent; North
Carolina alone having more than 700 of the battle scarred survivors of the Lost
Cause, who had the honor of occupying front seats in the pavilion and of having
the best headquarters and accommodations in the city of any state represented.
It was indeed a happy occasion for these valiant defenders of the Confederacy,
and we trust that they may yet live to meet at many more annual reunions.
Friend H.A. Davis of Brookside will give us the official proceedings next week.
