"The Free Lance" Issue: November 25, 1904 THE NEXT REUNION A decision is expected in the next few days as to the place for holding the next Confederate reunion. The time for the reunion is in May and at the meeting last year in Charleston the matter was left to the state commander, General CARWILE, and the executive committee. It is thought that Columbia will be chosen for the event and the city will accordingly make preparation for the entertainment as soon as it is officially announced. It will be remembered that a plan to hold the reunion there every year and to make the city a permanent gathering place was defeated two years ago by a narrow vote and this mater will again be brought up. Several members of the committee have expressed themselves in favor of the idea since the last reunion on account of the convenience of the city and its advantages, but there is still some opposition from some of the delegates and the plan might fall through again.

HOW THE DAY WAS OBSERVED: Thanksgiving was generally observed in Spartanburg Thursday by closing of all the public offices, schools, and colleges, workshops, factories and many of the stores. The stores that did not suspend business for the entire day closed for part of the day and the clerks and employees enjoyed the day as they saw fit. Services were held in the First Baptist Church, the Church of the Advent and the First Presbyterian Church. The streets this morning wore a deserted appearance and little or no business was transacted. The only places that remained open during the day were the fruit and confectionery stores, restaurants, soda water stands and the drug stores. Hundreds of people took advantage of the bright weather and went for promenades, while others went driving or trolley riding during the morning hours. The afternoon was given to visiting. free post Lisa
