Old Soldier's Picnic In Lebanon July 4th
Picnic Dinner Under Spreading Maples.
Final arrangements are being made for the annual reunion and picnic for surviving Confederate soldiers and memorial services for departed comrades to be held in Lebanon on July 4th.
The picnic dinner will be spread under the trees in the beautiful campus of the Lebanon High School, and every old veteran, wives and widows who can possibly do so is urged to spend the day in Lebanon.
Spanish-American war veterans are invited and urged to attend and help put this event over in a big way.
The selection of the campus in Lebanon for the picnic is fitting since the large maples under which the dinner will be spread were set out during the first year of the civil war.
Pack your baskets and spend a happy day in Lebanon.
Rev. E. N. Woodward, the beloved Lebanon Methodist pastor-Russell county's preacher, will be heard in an address to the boys who shouldered the muskets in defense of the Southland.
