Texas Confederate Reunion.
-----
Bowie, Texas, Aug. 21.--This town is alive with Confederate veterans, sons of
Confederate veterans, daughters of Confederacy and other visitors, come to
attend the annual state reunion of of (sic) the veterans. With the
inspiring tune of "Dixie" played by a number of bands, and with the stars and
bars floating in the breeze from almost every building in the business section,
Bowie is giving a hearty welcome to the visitors. Appearances indicate
that the reunion, which will last until the end of the week, will be the most
enthusiastic gathering of the veterans of the Lost Cause ever held in Texas.
Major General K. M. Van Zandt (of) Fort Worth, commander on the Texas division,
is one of the central figures among the visitors. Governor Campbell and
Senator Bailey are among the scheduled speakers.
