The State reunion of Confederate veterans held at Wilmington last week disbanded Thursday. They visited Fort Fisher Thursday and Wrightsville Beach the day before. Thursday the streets of Wilmington presented a riot of colors with Stars and Bars floating from every building and flagstaff. The monument of George Davis, attorney-general in the cabinet of President Jefferson Davis, was draped in the Confederate colors and was the memorial monument to Confederate dead. One of the surprising features was the vigor and enthusiasm of the veterans. Alert, agile and jovial, these warriors of another day appeared fit and ready for more convocations with their comrades.
