rHE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY JT7I.Y 58, 1002
Judge A.. G. Dorsey, N. N.'Littlefield
and J. B. Landrum left Saturday after
noon for Virginia on the special train
run by the survivors of the 7th Georgia
. regiment. This, regiment has for sev
eral years held its reunions on the 21st
of July, the anniversary of the first
battle of Manassas, and this year they
decided, to' hold their reunion on the
very ground where the regiments bat
tled so gallantly for the cause of the
oafederacy. Judge Dorsey was a
member of the 11th Georgia regimen t,
of the same brigade, which was com
manded by the illustrious Barton, and
afterward by Gen. G. T. Anderson, bet
ter known as “Old Tige.” This re
union which brings together so many
surviving veterans on their first battle
field nearly forty one years after the
struggle, is for that reason doubtless
the most interesting one held by a Con
federate regiment.
The special tram carried about 125
persons and the trip as planned will
allow them several stop-overs and the
opportunity to see many sights that
will bring back recollections of the
stormy period of the 60’s.
The Veterans will have an hour or
two stop-over at Charlottesville, two
hours at Culpeper, arriving at Manas
sas Sunday. They left there Monday ,
for Washington. The other stop-overs
were Fredericksburg, Richmond and
Petersburg, visiting the battlefields at
these places. They expect to reach 1
Atlanta over the Seaboard Air Line on
Saturday next. !
We hope this honored remnant of 5
this honored regiment may live for
many more reunions.

and you will have health, even in the
