Reunion of Thirtieth Cavalry.
-----

       At Gurley on Wednesday the annual reunion of the Thirtieth Texas cavalry was held, Col. Edward J. Gurley, who commanded the regiment during the war, presiding.  The Thirtieth Texas cavalry was recruited chiefly in Central Texas.  R. G. Pidcock, a distinguished member, is adjutant of the association.  Most of the survivors were present.  Memorial exercises were held and meals were served in a grove.
       The ravages of time and disease have reduced the regiment to a mere handful, and the attendance was small, yet it was a very pleasant and congenial reunion of veterans who recounted the stirring days of the civil war with enthusiasm.
