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. Keep your system in perfect order and you will have health, even in the most sickly seasons. The occasional ] use of Prickly Ash Bitters will insure } vigor and regularity in all the vital < organs. Dr. E. E. Dixon & Co.
