Confederate Veterans in Wadesboro Saturday, May 30th, at the Anson County 
Confederate Veteran's meeting which is to be held on that day. The meeting, 
besides effecting a more permanent organization, will take steps towards

The Anson Veterans - They Have a Fine Re-Union at Wadesboro - The Ladies Took 
Good Care of Them

Wadesboro, May 30 - Quite a large crowd of veterans turned out today. It is 
estimated that the number would amount to about 200. Judge Bennett, Rev. Chas. 
Fetter, L.D. Robinson, H.C. Wall and Maj. Sully all made excellent speeches 
during the day. An abundant supply of something good to eat was liberally 
handed out to the old veterans from two long tables. After all were filled 
more was left than had been consumed. Besides giving the veterans plenty here, 
our noble women gave them packages to take home with them. Occasionally you 
would see an old veteran with a whole ham, nicely wrapped up, in his arms - a 
token from some lady. This was an enjoyable day to the veterans of Anson 
County.
