100 years ago 


The reunion of the Blue and Gray to be held here Saturday next, Sept 15 promises to be a most interesting affair.  Pickett's Division Association will arrive here from Richmond, VA., on a special train about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon , and the Philadelphia Brigade Association is expected to arrive about the same time.  After partaking of dinner, both associations will journey to the "Bloody Angle," where the reunion will be held and at which time and place, the Philadelphia Brigade Association will turn over General Armistead's sword to Pickett's Association at the spot where it was received from General Armistead 43 years ago.
