Per use 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.

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 \>.
