PARIS, Ky, July 23, There was a reunion of Company C, Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, C.S.A., held today at the home of Mr. Charles H. Meng, near North Middletown, at which seventeen of the surviving forty-three members of that noted company were present.

Mr. Meng chose the anniversary of the battle of Atlanta, in which the company participated, for the reunion, and invited every surviving member of the company to dinner.  There are forty-three members of the company now living, and they are scattered over ten States.  At the dinner today there were seventeen gathered together to enjoy the bountiful hospitality of the host and recount again the stories of the years spent together over forty years ago.  Of those present one came from Georgia, one from, Louisville, one from Franklin, and one from Mason county to meet again their comrades of the war.  Those present there were the following members of the company:

The home of Mr. Meng was exquisitely decorated with flags and flowers and the dinner was such as no one of the guests saw during the four years of their service - all the good things that make Kentucky housekeepers famous the world over.

A souvenir of the reunion containing an extract from an editorial by Col. Breckinridge and the roster of the company was presented each guest.  It was:

THE ROLL OF COMPANY C,

NINTH KENTUCKY CAVALRY

C.S.A.

"This was on of the very finest bodies of young men that enlisted in any army, and became the equal of any company in the service of either army during the late war. "

"It was not given to many companies to achieve an individual character and separate identity, but this company did win such a character; its action at Noonday Creek, at Snake Creek Gap, at Sunshine Church and other places was so conspicuous and handsome that it became known as a large, well disciplined and gallant company."
