WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1924 V" low! vet tells OF REUNION TRIP Thomasville Gave Confederates ‘Time of Their Young Lives,’ Says Sims Wednesday, October 8, the Confederate Veterans pf Georgia niet in Thomasville for their an nual state convention. Sumter county was represented by twelve wearers of the gray and they have brought back many accounts of the ••wonderful time” shown them ly the people of Thomasville. J. M. Sims when interviewed by a Times-Recorder reporter yester day acclaimed the meeting a big success and was well pleased with the showing made by Sumter county veterans. The account of the trip and the meeting as told by Mr. Sims fol lows: “On October 7 a contingent of veterans left Americus bound for the state convention in Thomas ville. On the train we met mans- of our old friends coming from dif ferent sections of the state for the meeting, and this made the trip very enjoyable. “Arriving in Thomasville we were met by the mayor and the commit tee in charge who gave us a hearty welcome and assured us that we would be made to feel at home. We were carried to the Tosca Hotel in automobiles turned over to the veterans for their use by the people of Thomasville. Tuesday evening we were entertained with a band concert which was greatly enjoyed by all. “At ten o’clock Wednesday morn ing the meeting convened with Gen eral A. J. Twigs of Augusta in command. The mayor and other prominent citizens addressed the convention they presented us with badges, which permited us to see without‘charge all the amusements Thomasville could offer. “After transacting all the neces sary business the meeting adjourn ed and we were taken on a iong automobile ride through the many beautiful estates and large ph'ata tions of Thomasville. On this trip we visited the estate of the late Col: O. H. Payne and the beautiful home and plantation of Mrs. Chas. Haskel, niece of Mark Hannah. “Wednesday night the dining room of the Tosca hotel was the scene of a brilliant ball in hopor of the Confederate veterans. Outside of the hotel on the asphalt street several hundred old soldiers danced with their young partners while several thousand spectators looked on in admiration. “Thursday the last day of the convention was also spent in sight seeing and this time we were shown through the Puzizle Garden of Peb ble Hill this proved most interesting to the men. However none of them, were lost in the long wind through the gardens as we had a very cap able guide with us. “Thursday night we left our res pective homes and every veteran that next to their own towns Thom asville was the garden spot of the world.” Cold feet often carry a hot head away from trouble.
