City Preparing to Entertain Reunion Crowds Is
“Shining Up,” and In Cleaning Off Cemetery
Workmen Make Grewsome Find as Well as
Having Busy Time With Slimey Serpents.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 27.
Editor News: The Confeder
ate reunion is to be held here :n
May and the city of Chattanooga
is having a house-cleaning as well
as making other preparations to
get all of the advertising end
money she can out of the great
throngs of people who are expect-'
ed to flood the city on that occa
sion.
There has, gone out several
type-written pages of data, boost
ing Chattanooga that will be used
in 3,500,000 folders, to be issued
by the railroads and circulated
thruout the south between now
and the opening of the Confed
erate reunion. The railroads of
course will be benefited by the
reunion and it is their purpose
to advertise Chattanooga as wide
ly as possible. The cit.yHU popu
lation is placed at about double
the real figures in these circu
lars and of all of her advantages
and enterprises boosted to the
echo in the same proportion.
But the publicity campaign is on
and sordid commercialism reigns
supreme.
The old soldier and “his lost
cause'’ is to he used as a draw
ing card that the younger gener
ation may puff and blow and
thereby reap self-agrandizement
or a financial harvest. To read
the columns upon columns pub
lished in the daily papers here
about the reunion one would
hardly realize that the old Con
feds. have anything to do with
the affair except to furnish the
numbers of visitors and pitch dol
lars into the. coffers of Chattano
ga business. For instance, read
the following excerpts.
“It, is estimated that the re
union will leave in Chattanooga
$500,000 and that the adjcertis'-
iug will amount in value to sl,
000.000. The Sons of Confeder
ate veterans are proposing to
g t busy. They intend doing
their part on a big scale and in a
mast effective manner. Plate
matter will be furnished the
weekly papers and each day a
good live story will be mailed to
the dailies’’
By delving through it all, I
did find this in reference to the
Confederate Veterans:
“Congressman John A. Moon
has been successful in securing
from the war department 12,000
cots for the use of the confeder
ate veterans during the reunion
in May.”
Do these annual hurrahs that
are made over the few' living de
fenders of our homes and native
land in that .fierce conflict be
tween the states, spring from
fountains of pure love and de
votion? Pardon me if I doubt
it.
Ti know that marble shafts rep
resenting every southern com
monwealth lift their glistening
heads in the sun in mtemory of
the wearer of the gray; I know
that the Daughters of the Con
federacy and the Sons of-Confed
erate Veterans are zealous in
their efforts to sing his praises
and keep the records straight;
I know that camps are named in
honor of the generals of the Con
federacy and monuments dot the
southland to his glory.
And—

and devotion as deep as the sea
and as pure as the driven snow,
but you cannot expect one who
has Confederate kindred sleep
ing in unknown graves some
where amojfg • the hills of Ten
nessee or Virginia to believe in
its'sincerity, when he has stood
and viewed the old Confederate
gravery and in the heart of the
city here —a' wilderness of forty
years growth, poisonous
reptiles wind their way through
weeds and grass growing almost
om the breasts of those who lost
their lives in the thick of the
fray.
pli, consistency, thou art a
jewel. •
Chattanooga has the commis
sion ‘form of government and
some time i>go the commission
er of parks and driveways was
instructed to clear off the old
cemetery and 1 send you here
with some excerpts from his re
port to the mayor and commis
sinners. The commissioner graph
ically portrayed in writing
the results of the depredations of
the malicious, the devastation of
time and the wild growth of an
“uninterrupted riot, of nature”
at the same time scrupulously
avoiding mention of the fact that
it was the resting place of the
confederate dead. Some l very
gruesome discoveries were made
by the workmen in clearing away
the growth of vegetation. In
one place human hones consisting
of a skull and ribs were found
unearthed. Over four hundred
poisonous snakes were killed on
, the grounds. But read the ex
'cerpts and figure for yourself
what it, uwAiis';— . . >
‘‘'The old property was known
to'-'frfe.. in what would be called a
bad Condition, but this vague
suggestion gives hardly an idea
of the real facts. Of the ten
acres comprising the cemetery,
more than four acres has been the
burial place of of victims of all

Mrs. Riley Laramore, of
Goodwater, Mo., says: "I

to indicate the grave except the
sunken spot of ground. The en
tire surface, including most of
these sunken graves, was cover
ed by an interminated mass of
vines, weeds, briars, and wild
growth—an uninterupted riot of
nature for twenty, forty and six
ty years. 1
“Under such conditions it is
not hard to understand how this
old and sacr< 1 ground had reach
ed a period in its history to bt
avoidd and shunnd by its old
friends —a place unsafe and unfit,
to visit—known as a rendezvous
at night and more or less in the
licentious and vicious, it had be

y u ur commissioner took c' arge.
“The work began in a gener

Human bones, consisting of ribs,

pieces of skullbone were unearth

surface.
With the exception of a very
few lots held by deed or prescrip

arc no lots of any kind not fall

we find evidences ot interments

others placed across .the line ot

on line of sidewalk has exposed
several plain evidences of very
old burials, and on the west side
we find a few that have their

reached a climax of abandonment

ness should now he revived and
enlarged.
“May it not he that, while rec

buried there, we should under
