ciation at Pearl Spring Park on the 21st b • ^ ni
of July, “that we have secured already
$304.80 in cash and one hundred ami 1 hir-
ty-one carcasses, with several precincts
yet to hear from. It yyill be the biggest
thing ever seen in Coweta county, and
the most notable gathering of distin
guished Confederates that has occurred
in the State since the war. Regimental
reunions have been frequent in differ
ent portions of the State within recent
years, but it must be remembered that
the reunion to be held here on the 21st
prox. will be participated in by the sur
vivors of three regiments, or three
times as many as are usually brought
together upon the occasions referred
to. In addition to the survivors of the
gallant commands mentioned above,
the Coweta County Confederate Vet
erans’ Association comprises in its
membership a large number who be
longed to other regiments, all of whom
will be present and take part in the re
union. The rank and file will be equal
ly represented. About a dozen Gen
erals, and at least fifty ollicers of lower
rank, will be on hand, or about two
thousand old Confeds in all, including
rank and file. Ah, it will be an occa
sion to be remembered.”
“How many people do you expect,
and what preparation will be necessary
to entertain them?”
“There will be fully ten thousand
on the grounds, at the lowest estimate.
Atlanta will send a special train of ten
or twelve coaches, in addition to those
who will come from that city and inter
mediate points on the regular trains.
The special train will be detained here
and used constantly during the day in
transporting passengers from the cit>
to the Park and return. All trains,
regular as well as special, will stop at
the Park for the convenience of pas
sengers. Every railroad in the State
has granted a uniform rate of one fare
for t he round'trip, from all points, and
tickets will be good for four days.
An effort will he made to have an ex
tra train put on the Savannah, Grilfin
|aud North Alabama Railroad, also, to
Eg accommodate visitors f rom both ends
| of the line. The Chattanooga, Rome
’in. and Carrollton road will he running
f§ trains by that time, and a large crowd
V may be expected from Rome and inter
mediate points.”
“IIow many carcasses and how much
money will be required to provide din-
ag$ner and defray the expense ol eutei-
fjtainment?”
“We must have tyvo hundred and fifty
carcasses, at least, and to barbecue the
meats will require a pit half a. mile long.
V Twenty-live experienced cooks and sev-
tr enty-tive assistants will be needed for
1 this duty, all of whom will be under
1 the direction of Mr. Frank Cook, the
* veteran barbeeuist, 1 ive hundred
I pounds of fresh butter, fifty gallons of
vinegar and twenty pounds of black
pepper will be used in “basting the
meats. Twenty cords of oak bark will
be needed to roast the meats; wood
will not answer the purpose. Three
ons of bread will be required, in addi-
,ion to private contributions. This
Krill be ordered fresh from Atlanta, so
Iks to arrive on the morning of the 21st,
nd will fill a large-sized express car.
ive thousand pounds of ice, twenty
roxes of lemons and two barrels of su-
ar will furnish liquid refreshment for
■he crowd. The “extras” mentioned
ill cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,
nd perhaps more. The tables will
over a space of two acres. Water will
oe drawn from the spring the night be
fore and put in barrels, so conveniently
isposed as to prevent crowding at the
ipring.”
‘Where will the speaking take
place?”
“A commodious speakers stand v ill
e erected on the promontory just
.^ove Pearl Spring. From this eleva-
ion an audience of ten thousand can
easily commanded, without ef
fort on the part of the speaker or fa-
;igue to the audience. The address of
velcome will be delivered by Major \>.
