Although the

preparations art wall under way.
This Will probably be the last reunion
"hut whether it is or not, it is safe to
assume that it will be the last big one.
Not only le the Washington commit
tee of arrangements busy every day in
the week with details, but the veteran
camps in every SUte of the South are
perfecting plans for moving on to the
national capital. Also the railroads
are giving a great deal;of publicity
to the forthcoming event.
The lines traversing this part of the
South with eastern connections—that
is to say, practically all the lines—
are making announcements which ap
peal to the sentiment of the old sol
diers who fought fbr the lost cause.
One railroad company is stressing the
fact that its trains run through" his
toric battlefields of Virginia, taking
in a view of the crater near Peters
burg and the fortifications around
Richmond. Another company* calls at
tention to the fact that the- vetems
who travel on its road will ride over
one stretch of 48'miles which was
built by Confederate soldiers, “and
which has remained, perhaps, the most
permanent monument of any work
done by the Confederacy.” It is the
line between Greensboro, N. C., and
Danville, Va. * %
When the war began there was no
railroad connecting the old Richmond
and Danville with the North Carolina
system of roads. A railroad official
in sketching the situation, says the
Confederate authorities saw the strat
egic value of such a lint, “and were
able to bring to bear sufficient pres
sure to overcome the obstacles which
had previously stood in the way of its
construction, owing to the rivalry of
North Carolina and Virginia, each
State seeking to protect its own rail
way interests.”
The rail necessary for the construc
tion of the Greensboro-Danville con
nection was procured by tearing up
other lines. At the close of the war
the 48-mile stretch was confiscated by
the United States as one of the assets
of the Confederacy and there was pro
longed litigation before the Richmond
and Danville received it
This section has been double-tracked
but few changes were found
“m the location as determined by the
war time engineers **

Who? Yes! Who?
Who wants to get rich ? Everybody.
Who is going to get rich? Only the
prudent, hard working, hustler who
saves his\money and puts it to work
for him. You can’t amass a fortune
by saving, atone—you have to* make r 7‘
your dollars earn more dollars. They -
certainly won’t earn anything tied up
in an old sock or buried in a hollow
stump. Put your dollars in a good,
reliable bank like ours. Let - them
work with our dollars. Teach them to
have “cents.” They like to work.'
Give them a job. They, will make you .
