THE REUNION
AT MEMPHIS.
The Largest Gathering Ever Held
in the History of thi Cow
federate Veteran's Organization.
Memphis Made a Isohle UfFort to
Entertain the Unprecedented
Crowd, Possibly a40,000 People
in the City. T'ie Flower Parade
and the Veteran's Parade Espeein

Snap Shots. Taken at Random,
While at Memphis.
As stated in ia~t is?ue we arrival
in Memphis on Tuesday morning
. about 1U o'clock, to find the c-ty
already crowded with visitors. The
Main street v as so crowded with
people, that it was impossible ior the
driver of the carriage we were in to
get through the mass of humanity,
and he had to take the back streets
to get us to our destination which
fortunately waa on Main street, we
finally got there by a cirouitu >us
route, aud experienced the first and
only extortionate charges we met
with while in the city. This lutle
ride cost a dollar, sullies it to aay we
used the street ears after that. We
secured comfortable quarters at $ I a
day with 2 meals, and while there
wtre some who had to pay high for
their lodging we heli-ve nu-st of them
only had themselves to blame for noi
p looking out for lodgings upon thc-ii
arrival, and waiting until night, am
having to then take anything offered
We must eay right here that tin
citizens of Memphis are to ho commended
for the notde effort tine
ma le to accouun -date the unpreee
dented crowd. Every hotel, board
ing house and a large number of pri
vate residences were thiowu open t
accommodate the stream of visitor
arriving by the thousands from th
four points of the compass. Ever
railroad running imo mo uhj, ui
loaded their passengers frou the
many sections arriving almost ever
.our of the day.
^ A large building on Main stre
had been converted into.a bureau
information, and the dozen or mo
clerks were kept as busy as bees t
tending to the wants cf the gre
ciowd that surged into the buildii
in a constant stream from mornii
till late in the night. It seemed tl
all the committees of urrutigetxu
and tutertumment were doing evoi
thing within their power, and th
deserve credit for their efforts.
, We noticed in Reverul instan
where the entire first floor of some
the largest store buildings had b<
converted into sleeping quarters, ?
the lines of cots, several hundred
number, reached from front to r
of the great buildings while the
cant upper rooms of every st
building on Main street was tor
into bed rooms, and we were in fin r
that every cot in the entire city
been put into service.
A great kitchen had been e-t
lished near the State hcadquart
where thousands of veterans \
fori free, three solid media a da
^ they would go after them.

to a number of friends they
had met who were ihere from a dist
since. Meeting so many former
Soutu Carolinians we began to take
a note of theui, seeing this our friends
be'/on tr> look up those whom they
ha . . and we were knot busy f ?r
some time. Learning that our correspondent
