Anniston, Ala., July 24. - Plans for the reception of General John J. Pershing when he comes to Anniston next Wednesday for an official inspection of Camp McClellan, were practically completed today by the joint committee from the chamber of commerce, junior chamber of commerce and other civic clubs.
In addition to the chamber of commerce committee designated last week as a reception committee to meet the general in Birmingham, others will be in the delegation to the Magic City, including Mayor J. L. Wikle, Congressman Lamar Jeffers and ex-Governor Thomas E. Kilby, and instead of the 25 originally planned to meet the party in Attalla, it is now predicted that 200 or more citizens of Anniston and other Calhoun county towns will be in the latter delegation, according to members of the committee arranging for the reception, of which Sam J. Powers, past president of the chamber of commerce, is chairman.
