Many Veterans Will Attend
Reunion at Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., Oct, 13.—A num
ber of responses have already
been received from the United
Confedcrate Veterans' camps ac
cepting the kind invitation recent
ly sent out by the reunion commit
tee of this city, inviting the camps
to attend the annual state gather
ing in a body.
In every instance the responses
are full of enthusiasm, and the
nromised delegations to the re
union large. The writers declare
that the veterans of their section
are enthusiastic over the pros
pects of a glorious reunion and
are impatiently awaiting the hour
when they will take up the march
to this city.
Augusta’s reputation for never
doing things by halves has reach
ed even the remotest camps of
the state and there is a general
desire on the part of all to come
and enjoy our hospitality. There
is every indication that the re
union of this year will be the larg
est, most enthusiastic and most
important ever held in the state.
It is now believed that the parade
will see at least two thousand old
veterans in line.
Other responses will be coming
in daily. However, the invitation
committee are determined to bring
the state - reunion before every
veteran in the state, and during
the next few days a second invi
tation will be forwarded to the
camps of ¢he state, urging a large
attendance. It is desired that
forty to fifty of the camps attend
in a body and take part in the
great parade. Augusta stands
with open armstoreceive as many
as will come. If a cordial and
pressing invitation will bring
them, they will be here.—Atlanta

School Girl Heroine,
Augusta, Ga., Ost, 13.—~8y a
unanimous vote and amid great
enthusiasm, Camp ¢35, at its regu
lar meeting last night, extended
an invitation to Miss Louise Tal
bert Galt tc visit the Georgia state
reunion to be held in Augusta
November 10, 11 and 12, as the
honored guest and at the expense
of *fgcfloflfi oA, 1
A committee, gomposed of Cap
tain William Dunbar, Captain W.
T. Butt and Samuel Wilson, were
appointed to extend the invitation
‘to Miss Galt and to make all of the
necessary arrangements for trans
portation and entertainment. The
camp will defray the expenses of
the trip for both Miss Galt and a
chaperone. While in the city she
will be entertained at the home of
some member of the camp.
It will be remembered that Miss
Galt is the young school girl of
Louisville, Ky., who refused to
sing the song “Marching Through
Georgia,” when commanded to do
so by a teacher of the public
schools of her home. The fact
was heralded extensively through
the newspapers of the country and
brought her into great prominence.
Her loyalty to the memories of the
lost cause won her a warm place
in the heart of every Confederate
survivor and a number of the
camps of the south heaped honors
on her young head. Camp 435, of
this city, elected her as a member
of the organization and donated to
her a solid gold camp badge.
It is believed that Miss Galt can
be induced to visit the reunion
next month. It is safe to say that
she will receive the homage of the
thousands of old veterans who will
be in attendance,—Atlanta Jour
