NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 13.-The United Confederate Veterans will meet in fourteenth annual reunion in this city Wednesday.

The program of the entire five days of the reunion has been arranged so as to provide many interesting features.
There will be the usual big parade, camp fire meetings and memorial exercises in addition to the routine business of the reunion. The familiar face of General John B.
