A. R REUNION Chattanooza, Tenn., July The work of '‘getting homes for all the veterans and visitors durine the 47th national encaompment of the Grand Army of the Repiblic 1s pro- gressing satisfactorily to the local association. Close organization and hard work are essential to success in such an vundertaking, and some of the best work of the assocliation has been directed to the matter of assignments to homes during en. campment week. There are about 25,000 homes in ©Ohattanooga, and the committee on I asslgnments has had all of them .;horou?hly canvassed, a carefui rec- 'ord having been kept of the num- {ber of guests each home will take during encampment week. The re- eults have been ent!rely satisfactory and the assoclation is in position to ' announce that no matter how large 'the attendahce may be, all visitors, { will be cared for by the people of , Chattanooga, ; At previous national encamp- ,ments of the Grand Army of the Republic it has been customary for the city in which the encampment fs held to print and mail to the Posts a list of hotels and hoarding houses with rates and locations. Chattanooga belleves it can improve "on this method; In fact, having so recently as in May, entertained a crowd of over 100,000 on the occa- lalon of the reunfon of the United ' Confederate Veterans, the citizens | know by experience how to do this "thing in the best way. Hence the request is made that all who intend "to visit Chattanooga, whether vet. erans, or other visitors, should make their reservations with the citizens’ ' committee, known as The Chatta- | nooga Encampment Assoclation, In- | stead of endeavoring to deal directly with hotels or rooming places. It is only by compliance with this re. quest that comfortable and pleasant | accommodations can be guaranteed to all. Chattanooga is going to take care of the veterans and visltors, and ¢ all who Intend to come will at I8 once Inform Chattanocoga Encamp- ment Assoclation what they desire nezro watchman, are the principal witnesses.
