THE REUNION
AT MEMPHIS.
Payne's Grand Display
Of l ire Works.
I
I don't believe that any one feat- '
urc of the Memphis reunion attraei- ; '
ed more attention than did the fireworks
on Wedne.-d.iy night, May 2i) ,
There is no wa\ to cR'ioiatt- the mini
ber that stood along toe brink ut '.he ,
gteat Mi-sis:ippi river or sat upon '
the seats prepared for ttie < cca?ion ; '
ami watched ilu display of fire ?ui ks. ; '
Immense was the throng, and the
iain was unetiduiablc for two hours 1
. . I
" or louder. 1 li?? rain was threatening
to break up the fun, ami did so
to ihe extent of forcing a change of '
programme. The elii<-f pvio'eehni*t,
Mr James Conliff, had every- '
thing arrang'(1 to make this the
grandest display ever witnessed alonu
the Father of Waters. Several set
devices were hurriedly fired off to
prevent their being diiiiag?d by the
sp.inkling of the rum which uioinen- j
tardy was expee.t* d Oouid these
have be* n r*s* ived to take their
pi >ee in the regular programme the I
| eflTee,t would have been quite different, j
But as it was it was soon a umgn.fi- :
cent affair that thousauds of the uu- I
initiated (in\s4*lf among them) could t
tell no difference in the grandeur. . !
Not only, was the land along ihe '
!river hank o* copied wt.ere there was !
any possibility of getn g a view of
the battle, but the six large learners {
that lay at anchor in the river soid ,
seats to give an opportunity to wit- j '
lu-ss the display fioui their dicks, i
Even private boats, tugs and other ; i
crafts wort: brought into requisition I
and bore their part of the living j
freight. From Be.de to Jefferson ,
^ streets the levee was aiive with peo- :
P pie. Tops of houses, windows, tree'
ItOj 8, lamp posts ami ev ery e meriv j
jahle or imaginable place where a !
human being could perch liimseif was
utilized. The river cr?ft was illuini^na'ed.

loking on the scene. Ail ages, J
sexes, classes, colors ami conditions 1
of people were represented. Even
the tops of street cars were convert
ed into platfoiins temporarily, ir to !
which to view the scene.
Early in the proceedings every
thing indicated a succcs fui carrying
oui of the original progratnrue, but
lightning in the Souh was a signal
! i hurtying up the programme and }
dispensing wnh the fabrics tlflit the j
least amount of rain would injure.

containing the pictures of Gen'ls Frz
Lee and Joe Wheeler watt fire<l. This
was a signal for ap pi mine from the
thousands witnessing the sight. Then
like two pugnacious bulls the Merri(liac
and the Congress began to
"sidle around" as one fellow expressed
it. and a furious naval battle bcr?\e<n
th-\-e water giants began. The
fi iti'jr was swift and furious. At the
lias... -i their guns the whole water
front of the city was illuminated,
while the deep toned roar reminded
us ?.f the nalitu-s of war. The land
batteries took a part in the game
and -hells Hew through the air bursting
in every direction. This was a
magnificent sight and I only regret
thativiry leader of Tun Times
could not have been present and witnessed
it. There is a sublimity in a
ri tt vol liutfln fKot ha nnn mm imaIkwa
win nv UI'U ii'i jH/ii un11 |MU< ul IT
or 'Ui!igiu?'ii)ii rightly conceive. The
ei que..t roar ?f guns and the poetic
di-ptay of sh' lis as tht y dart. through
Liio sky on their mission is grand.
So is also that of an artillery duel on
l?nd For several minutes these
is ir vesf-eh were the focus for a quarter
mdliou <'f eyes or -perhaps more,
^l'?r everybody was in sight of it at
one p nut or anoiher.) The railroad
In id.e two miles below afford'd a
fine opportunity to take a bird's eye
viess f n.
N??r was all iho tumult Confintd
to h tigi.ting of this mimic hatih.
I'iie air was filled with fire and every
b 'at rang its bell while the engine
w histles joined in the chorus. The
noise was deafening hut the battle
went on in its fury till at l&st the
Congress took fire and threw up .-ig?
uals of disiuss and the finng ceased
on botn sides?the banle was over.
During ihis pyrotechnic display
of fire works fu:ly 1,000 rockets went
into the air. Sometimes the devices
contained the port.a t of Jefferson
Da\i*, G?inrals Forrest, Lee or
Gordon. J. id. Often we could see
U. C. V.'s or some other familiar
symbol of the reunion festivities.
Sometimes along line of lights would
rema n perfectly still in the sky as .f
they had been stationed there by a
divine hand, then suddenly taking a
ioiiieisault they would represent a
half dozen familiar objects before
going out or reaching the water or
i
^1 UUIKI.
Sometime* a Itoman bombshell
would c>me over as if it was going
to light in the crowd on the bluff and
b? f re coming down 10 the ground
would hurst scattering women,
children and men who would squat
s?nd do'ge to keep out of its reach.
This was a source of much merriment
for the gunners on the boats as well
as the undisturbed on the land
At one time a rocket went up to
an a'fitude of perhaps 800 feet wh-n
suddenly itexploded and revealed the
name It. E Lee, A N. V.. followed
by another, IN. J>. rorrest. then
another, J. E Johnson and finally
Winnie Davis.
Nothing could be more pleasing
to lovers of the fine art than those
figures and f'Tina growing <>ut of the
manipulated designs brought into the
pyrotcehnical display on the Mississippi
river on the night of May 29,
1901. Its like has never h?en seen
before by many of us and to many of
whom it will never appear again.
About the close of the reunion f* ?tivines
wo had a perfect "love fea.->t'
in the parlor of our h. m in the oitv
whore we were jo.nod by a number
of comrades and our hos and h ?s ess

a pleasant one f r u* and made
us feel that it was a reunion in fact
as well as in name. Kei?*nckv, Tennessee,

A Scheme for Having Fun Like
College Secret societies.
When the civil war ended the little
own of Pulaski, Tenn., ym loomed j
lotne a band of young men who.
hough they were veterans of haid :
ought fields, were tor the most patt
io older than the miss of college
itudenta. In the general prnvetiy,
he exhaust ation, the lack of h^arr,
laturally prevalent through the
)eaten south, the young men had
nnre leisure than was good for them:
\ southern county town, even in the
laleyou days before the war. was |
iota particulary lively place; and |
Pulaski in lhGG was doubtless rather
,aine to fellows who had seen Pickett]
jharge at Gettvsburg or galloped I
)ver the country with Morgan!
nul Win e'er. A group of tltetn, |
isseuibled in a law office one evening :
it M ?y, 188G. were discussing ways
ind ui' iiiis of having a livelier time.
3onie one suggested a club or society.
An organization with no very definite
aims was effected; antl at. a second
meeting a week later, names were
pr??po-ed and discussed. Some one
proposed the Greek word '"Kukli<,"

the name meant nolnng whatever
