THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25, 1919. GRAY VEISBfiES hold ran mmmi, 8, 9 SOLDIERS WHO FOLLOWED LEE AND JACKSON TO BE ENTER TAINED BY PEOPLE OF ATLANTA. THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO ADJUST POINTS (Continued from Peer One) CONSTITUTION ANNIVERSARY BE CELEBRATED (Continued from Page One) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24. More than one hundred thousand people from every part of the nation are expected to attend the twenty-fourth annual re-unlon of United Confederate Vet erans In Atlanta, October 7, 8, 9 and 10. For several reasons, the re-union will be the most significant these grand old men of the south have known hince Jhey furled their tattered ban ners more than half a century ago. For one thing, it is the first re-union since the world war and it will be In the nature of a big peace jubilee. For another. It may be the last time the soldiers who followed Lee tnd Jackson raise their voices together in the "rebel yell, for the number is crowing smaller every year, the vet erans are getting less and less able if travel, and anotherl twelfth-month may see-the re-union custom ended. For still a third reason, the re union will be unwontedly big because the United States government ii granting a cheap rate on the railroads of one cent a mile. This rate may -be secured both going and coming by anyone' who .presents a certificate showing bia official connection with the re-unlon, whetheR he be a veteran, a relative of a .veteran, a member of the Sons" of Confederate Veterans or mber-organization associated with the re-union. - - The Sons of Veterans and the Con federate Memorial Association, found ed by the women' of the south in 1865, will hold their conventions Jointly with the re-union, thus adding to the size of the crowd and the brilliance of tha . occasion. All visitors to Atlanta "Will be enter tained royally. The people of the Georgia capital have subscribed a fund cf $60,000 to finance the balls, tha rarade, and other functions of the re rnlon. The veterans themselves will le cared for in the homes of the peo plo. At some rc-unlons they have had to sleep In tents and many of them differed from cold and wet. Nothing ; the kind will happen in'Atlanta. Already hundreds of Atlantic have volunteered to take one or, more vet erans as their guets during the re i: n Ion, and a campaign will be launch ed next week to secure homes for 10.- rlth Lieutenant Paul H. Da via, re turned from Mexico tonight. Peterson' report that Jesus Ren teria u killed failed to check with the report at -military -headquarters. which said the bandit leader is be-J lleved to have been located hiding 60 1 mile south of Chihuahua City. Peterson said he received his inform ation from scouts. They had. been In formed by ranchers that fleeing ban dits reported the leader's death. - 000 or more . veterans. At the same time, a canvass of the city will be roide to secure accommodations for ether visitors. The hotels will increase their accommodations and have pledg ed themselves not to raise their, rates. Boarding house " ami private homes where guests will be accommodated Villi be tabulated, so that the minute a visitor arrives he will be informed ly the reception" committee exactly where he will find "home" awaiting him. . . - While the veterans will be entertain ed in the homes of the people,' at the t&me time they will have a camp of their own where they can assemble for lunch and supper and talk over the old days of 61-63." The . business ' sessions pf the re union will be 'held at Atlanta's auditorium-armory, which has ' a seating capacity of more than eight thousand. Two blocks from the- auditorium la the-state capitol, and its spaciou grounds, by agreement 'of Governor Dorsey, will be made into an encamp ment for the veterans. A street on ene side will be; roped off and " turned into a - commissars, .where - lunch ; and supper, will be served the veterans free. - : '- ' Atlanta , is looking forward to the veterans; re-union ' as she has to no occasion in the past, forty years. Slus has not forgotten that in 1864 at was these same men who gallantly defend ed her against Sherman's hosts. Only once i before ' In her history did the veterans hold their re-unlon here, and that was twenty-one , years ago. , Her people feel that -they owe a debt of gratitude to the veterans which they can never, repay, but what it takes to show their appreciation they will have ready when the first old hero steps off the train on October 7.
