Ksysrons FssrivAL--Ths Ksystonites Of
Scott County design having grand time 1t
tne Penosylsania House, this evening, IS
has been heretofore announced. Fur the
past seven years. these annual reunions
have been sources Of happy suticipasiona,
and still happier rsmembrancss. However
much fortune nay smile. or however much
advcrsity may frown. it Is not veil to allow
old frisndships to decay. A large portion
Of our population is composed Of Pennsyl
vsnians, and We are free TO admit that they
are among our most thrifty and law-sbidins
citizens. Many were among those who
6rst laid bare the virgin soil Of
our prairies, and planted the seeds
that have since bosue rich
fruit Of civilization and pros perity.
Whether they were young companions to-
gsther in the old Keystone State. or wheth-
Or their friendships were formed amid the
rude scenes Of pioneer life. it 10 equally ap.
propriats that their annual gatherings sho'd
be we'll observed and that their recollections
Of the "old home should not be sllowed to
die away. The Committee Of Arrangements
has no doubt fully performed its duty, and
.--.y .-r..sa,ion will undd"h. sdiy bc real.
lied. The music will be Of the best; the
supper will in no wise fall below the stand>
ard of friend Davis popular cstablishn snt,
while the toas,s, addresses and speeches
will be we'll worthy Of Pennsylvania talent.
Let every member Of tbs Keystone Society
be present.
