TEARS NARK END DE DID REUNION Macon Outdid Herself in Role of Host to Over Forty Thou sand Visitors. By THOMAS B. SHERMAN. MACON, GA.. May 10.—The gray hosts have departed. Macon stands today dismantled. Each outgoing train is bearing something away which Ma con for the week has been considering a part of herself. Tears have been shed at the parting and many appointments made to be filled at the next reunion. The lovely sponsors, with the plaudits of thousands still ringing in their ears, are on their way back home to Ken tucky, to Texas or to Alabama. And Macon is once more just the Central City and not the center of the universe. The week was rich in many things. It was rich in sentiment and in love; ft was rich in conviviality; it was rich in beauty. For that reason the city feels poverty stricken today. 100,000 There at One Time. Upward of 40.000 visitors were in the city. The most of them came early and stayed late; others strayed in for a day or so. At one time there were easily 100,000 persons in the city, but the re union managers failed not once to prove the host. Never were so many people handled in so small an area with such a noticeable lack of mishap. There were only two accidents recorded, and they were not of a serious nature. The po lice dockets were never larger than normal. Everybody seemed comfortably fixed, even though many makeshifts were em ployed in caring for the crowd. And, considering the abundance of opportu nity. there was very little price raising done by local salesmen. All the visitors were agreeably surprised to find that thev were still able to buy ten-cent cigars for ten cents and that the hack tare to Coleman's Hill was never more than a quarter. As for meals, one could make a very successful peace treaty with his inner man for 51 cents. The city's decorations could not have been improved, tin every important downtown street the bunting and flags were massed in solid array. Nor was it a mere throwing together of colors. Despite the many complexities of color involved, there was much artistic taste shown in the decorative arrangements. Out in the residence part of the city each home flaunted the Stars and Bars in some shape or form. A prize offered for the house best decorated served as a stimulant to many householders, with the result that one kept the reunion idea with him no matter in what part of the city he traveled. Boy Scouts Everywhere. In caring for the crowds there was no institution which rendered more aid than did the Boy Scouts. From first to last these gray jacketed little soldiers were always on call. The.'" met visitors at tlie train, conducted them to their lodging places, acted as walking bu reaus of information, assisted ladles across the streets with heavy bundles, took old veterans sightseeing and per formed numerous other tasks of a sim ilar nature. In strict regard to truth, it must be said that the expected crowd did not come It was no doubt the ease that man' refrained from attending because of a fear that Macon Vould prove in capable of handling such a reunion. The crowning feature of the week was the presence of the sponsors and maids. It was the unanimous opinion that such a collection of beauty had not been looked upon since the .history of the world. The reunion might well have been termed a beauties' congress. But it's all over now and Mai on reg isters a sigh and a tear. The next re union will not see as many of the old soldiers. In a few years more the per petuation of the war s glories will be entirely with the son and son of sons. The veterans are mighty glad to have seen Macon, and Macon has rejoiced that it was able to see so many of them. SAVANNAH MAN HELD FOR KIDNAPING TAR SAVANNAH, GA..

ATLANTA FLORAL CO., Call Main 1130. The bigest sensation of the season next week at the Bijou— ’'■‘TEßM A IDA tb.A rfivirtar VAnna. The Great Veterans' Reunion Ball HERE YOU SEE IT ALL By THOMAS B. SHERMAN. MACON, GA.. May 10. —There was a sound of revelry by night. There was also a sound of ripping silk and tearing lace and there was another sound which sounded mightily like "Damn,” but might have been "band” or "ham” even. In fact, every sound that had any sort of pedigree was there. The band played in a hoarse crescendo, the ladies talked in nice treble staccato and afar off on the extreme end of a bench where the lights were Tow many nice and low spoken extravagances might have been heard if any one had been mean enough to listen. And it all happened at the big re union ball. Macon was there en masse. So was Atlanta, Savannah, Americus, Texar kana, Gainesville, Fla., and Reno. Nev. White-haired gentlemen of the old South mingled with young trouserlings. Little slips of school girls measured themselves against the reigning beau ties of the day. There were blondes and brunettes, russet browns and mar ble whites, there were girls demure and debonnair. Some of them danced, but the most of them talked. Throng Surrounds Hall Early. Many hours before the function ac tually began Camp Gordon auditorium was surrounded by an eager and restive throng. The lucky few that held tickets clamored for admittance, but it was not until a few pompous officials in khaki came that the doors were thrown open. And then the battle began. Like a battering ram, a heterogeneous mass of dress suits, high hats, pink satin, crepe de chine, brass buttons and Mary- Garden perfume struck the several en trances. The officials clamored for tickets and in some instances got them When the crowd finally assorted itself it found that the only breathing space to be had was on the wall and a tiny housefly already had that. Presently the band arrived. The leader brushed his hair back and whis pered low to his trusty men. Each pulled from the recess of his braided coat a nice felt rag and rubbed the key of C to a brilliance. Then the leader waved his left hand and there floated out over the crowd the lifting strains of that well known masterpiece, "Everybody's Doing It.” “Oh, There Goes My Gown.” A few sturdy couples started to dance. Miss Smartly smiled sweetly at Mister < Mdfamily and the two made as if to begin As luck would have it, Madame Dowagerdiamonds started at the same time and in the direction. There was a thud—sometimes called a dull thud, a sound like a sawmill and the gown which had been brought all the way from the Rue de la Paix found itself mortally wounded. Frigid apolo gies. Over in the corner Miss Outmany seasons essayed a few bunny hugiings with Mr. Richbachelor. A post stopped their wayward career. She never did like those eccentriquv dances, anyhow. And he didn't mind it a bit, for he was an old football player on the Naughty- Naught team. For once weight was discounted. Nerve and cunning had the call. For that reason several spare couples were able to thread their glid ing ways through the mass. But those who couldn't weigh in at 125 did not have a chance to do any gymnastics. The situation finally resolved itself into a "don'tyouremembermeimetyoufour yearsagoatMemphis" occasion. “Why if It isn't Miss Whynot." “Mis tah Blueblood —how do you do?" "Fine.'' “And how is Deah Anne and all the old folks back in Charleston?” Mistah Blueblood being from Ken tucky and unable to answer this last question, the subject was changed. “Did you ever see so many people in youi life?" "No, I certainly did not —did you?" “No, I certainly have not. I really didn’t know there was.” “Yes." Snatches From the Dark Corner.
