United Confederate Veterans, gave out- the following to-elaj- "The newc from Dallas concernirK the fixing of rates for the Dallas reunion has been reeplrofl lior with the ureatpst re gret. The rate fixed bj- the railroads is a 1 erj- great surprise to tne veterans in Ar kansas, Inasmuch as they had been led to believe that the rate made for Louisville and Memphis reunions would be made for Dallas. Irstend of that, the passergcr agents at Dallas vesterday made a one and one-third rate fare, exactly double what they gave use at MemphK and Louisville, and what they have glvvn the G. A. R. for the past ten years. In consequence of the drought the veterans of Arkansas are less able to pa this rate than they have been for several jears. and it is very doubtful whether they will attend." -lrmfe -.-J5.iIt3i4: A Leifer From a Grateful Mother to Dr. S. 8.
