AN ADDRESS.
To the Confederate veterans of Falls County; Comrades:--You will note from the
newspapers that a Street Fair and Merchants Carnival will be held at Marlin from
Sept. 15th to 20th inclusive.
The Fair and Carnival will be held under
the auspices of the Ladies Sociel Club which will control all exhibitions.
Consequently nothing reasonably objectionable will be shown.
Aside from the fair, to which an admission
fee will be charged, there will be other attractions free to the public and
among them will be a re-union of the Confederate veterans of the county for
which a full day has been set apart, viz; Sept. 16th. Good speakers have
been invited to make addresses.
The undersigned have been appointed a
committee to address and tender you a cordial invitation to attend, assuring you
that the ladies clubs, merchants and citizens of Marlin will give you a splendid
welcome and the Confederates of Marlin will be delighted to welcome you as
guests of Marlin.
Respectfully,
Q J Cockrell,
N Stallworth,
committee.
