The Reunion At Nashville
This Month A Memor
able Gathering.
MANY ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
General Evans Receives In
structions as to The
Quartering of Vis
itors—Many Vet-
erans Will Attend.
Cobmel Hickman, of Nashville,
has sent to General C. A. Evans,
commander of the Confederate
Veterans of Georgia, the full pro
gram oi the reunion to be held
in that city, June 22d, 23 and 24th-
It will be the greatest gathering
of Confederate Veterans ever held
in this country, and Georgia will
sei d the largest number of Veter
ans she has ever sent to a reun
ion.
Colouel Hickman has outlined
the program as follows.
Tuesday, June 22d, at 10 a. m.,
the Daughters of the Confederacy
will meet at the state capitol in
a general reunion. On the even
ing of the same day they will give
a reception to the Confederate vet
erans. At 12 m. ou the same day
the convention of Confederate
camps will hold a session nf the
large tabernacle. Each division
will be assigned to its own posi
tion. Speeches of welcome will
then be made and responses. Hon.
John W. Reagan is the orator of
the occasion, and immediately up
on the close of his address will come
the usual organization for the
transaction of business.
For Wednesday, June 23d, the
convention will meet at 10 a. m.
and will come before it requiring
a full day’s session. The evening
will be devoted to a concert which
will be given in hontr of the spon
sors and maids of honor. They
will be seated upon the platform
with special escort of Confederate
veterans.
For Thursday, June 24th the
grand parade, General W. H. Jack
son, chief marshal cf the divis
ions will be assigned positions and
each camp will carry a banner or
old Confederate battle flag which
will be still more appropriate. The
sponsors and maids of honor from
the different states will ride in op
on carriages in front of their own
state division.
General headquarter for the old
soldiers will be at Ward’s school,
w r here all information can be had,
but the headquarters of the divis
ions of all the states will be at the
Hume and Fogg school, about 100
yards from general headquarters.
All divisions should go at once, on
arriving at Nashville, to divisions
headquarters at Hume and Fogg
school which can readily be found.
General Evans directs attention
Ito the fact that all camps should
go in a body, wearing camp badges
with “Georgia” plainly stamped
■on them, and should reach Nash
ville on the early train Tuesday
I morning.
General Evans also asks that
I camp commanders send to him the
i names of those who intend to go
and all visitors who will take the
trip with various camps.
| Railroad rates will be one cent
per mile, and camping grounds
have been provided for those camps
! which wish to quarter themselves.
Board can be had from $1 to $2 per
! day.
During the past year a number
of new camps have been organized
in Georgia, and it is expected that
they will send delegations as large
as possible. General Evans is re
ceiving many letters of inquiry
daily, and all signs point to large
crowds at the reunion from Geor
gia.
MOURNED AS DEAD.
A Minister, Supposed to Have
Been Killed In Battle,
Is Alive.
Gadsden, Ala., —J. F. Pittman,
residing near this city, has justre
cieved news to the effect that his
father, Rev. N. W. Pittman, has
been found alive and well at Al
bany, Ga. It was reported that
Mr. Pittman has been killed in the
seven days, battle of the Wilder
ness, and since that day he has
been mourned as dead by all ex
cept J. F. who believed his father
was alive and has been active in
the search over since the war.
He will leave for Albany, Ga.,
soon.
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of
the Burton House, Burton, W. V.,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured of rheu
matism after three years of suffer
ing. He says: “I have not suffi
cient command of language to con
vey any idea of what I suffered, my
physicians told me that nothing
could be done for me and my friends
were fully convinced that nothing
but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evens,
then salesman for the Wheeling
Drug Co., recommended Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm. At this time
foot and limb were swollen to more
than double their normal size and
it seemed to me my leg would
burst, but soon after I began us
ing the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, the pain to leave,
and now I consider that lam en
tirely cured. For sale by 11. .H

Woman’s Way.
Jasper, Ga., June 2. —Lewus Hide,
the county superintendent of the
poor farm and charities, has been
driven from home with a shot gun
by his wife. Mr. Hide was mar
ried some time ago to a w omen who
was an adept with firearms, having
lived in a moonshiue community,
where women have to be able to
defend themselves against reve
nue raiders while their husbands
and brothers are operating illicit
stills.
A few days ago the couple had a
misundertanding, owing to the
fickle affections of the husband,
the result of which was that he
deemed tempoary absence prudent.
Yesterday the erring husband felt
that it would be safe to approach
his home again, and he appeared
at about the dinner hour. It w-as
a sad hour for him, for Mrs. Hide,
snatching her shot gun from the
rack over the fireplace, bade him
begone, and sent one charge after
the fleeing figure. When Mr. Hide
reached the home of his brother he
found that his leg was filled with
bird shot.

INSULTED BY SOLDIERS.
Young Women Sold Under
The Most Revolting
Circumstances.
A dispatch from Key West, Fla?,
gives an account of another sale
of Cuban girls to the Spanish sol
diers in Piuar del Rio, Cuba.
Thu soldiers seized a pacific©
camp recently, capturing eight
men and fifteen girls and women.
Seven of the girls, 15 to 20 years
old, were put on the block and
sold under the most revolting cir -
cumstances. It is stated that they
were exposed to the rude and in
sulting remarks and comments of
the soldiers, and then sold to the
highest bidder, the soldiers sacri
ficing their arms and equipments
to their more fortunate fellowrsol
diers for cash to purchase a girl.
One of the sergeants acted as auc
tioneer. Two of the prettiest girls,
one 15 the other 17, were sold to
one man, a mule driver. As ho
had no means some curiosity was
expresssed as for whom he was act
ing. It was discovered afterwards
that the girls wore in the quarters
of Col. jesus del Monte and Cupt.
Arizor, the commanding officers of
the place.
The Havana papers have de
nounced this outrage, and say
that the palaeo officials should put
a stop to the practice.
“There’s no use in talking,”says
W. H. Broadwell, druggist, La
Cygno, Kas„ “Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
does the work. After taking med
icines of my own preparation and
those of others, I took a dose of
Chamberlain’s and it helped me; a
second dose cured me. Candidly
and conscientiously I can recom
mend it as the best thing on the
market.” The 25 and 50 cent
