As.our readers know,at a receiit meeting of Confederate veterans at the court house in Perry, it was resolved to hold a reunion of Houston county veterans on the 25th of July. A committee oh arrangements, and a county committee consist ing of one veteran in each district were appointed. These commit tees were requested to meet at Perry last Saturday, report prog ress and adopt specific plans for tho reunion. The opinion pre vailed that a successful reunion was impossible unless the vete rans throughout the county want it, and there is no way to find out their desires, except by an ex pression through the committee. Very few attended the meeting latt Saturday, and it is not certain that there will be a county reun ion. Read what the secretary is in structed to say: The district committee for the proposed county Veterans’ reun ion failed to attend the called meeting lafct Saturday, Reports were made by only three mem bers, J. R. Miller, J. S. Bryan, and W. E. Norris. Mr. J. D. Martin, chairman of the committee on general arrange ments, will write each district committeeman and ask them to report at Perry next Saturday, July 5th. Unless favorable reports are made from these committeemen on that day, it will be impracti cable to try to have a reunion on the 25th of July. The veterans must decide. L. S. Tounsley, Sec. H. C. 0.
