THIRTIETH CAVALRY.

       At Pat Cleburne hall, Waco, the Thirtieth Texas Calvary association held its second annual reunion and had a jolly time.  The hall was handsomely decorated with the Confederate colors entwined with the stars and striues.  The visiting veterans were driven over the city by the local Confederate organization and were given a good time.  E. J. Gurley was elected president; S. M. Strayhorn, vice president; R. G. Pidcocke, secretary and treasurer, and Gib J. Buck, assistant secretary.  Mrs. Caroline Jackson, wife of Levi Jackson, one of the veteran troopers of the Thirtieth, was elected mother of the regiment.  They adjourned to hold their annual reunion Wednesday, July 23, next year, in Waco.
