A GOOD TIME AT WINESBtRe-..
REUNION OF COMPANY C, 9th
OWL


A GOOD TINE AT WINESBURG-..
REUNION OF COMPANY C, 9th
OWL.
Saturday last was day that will long
be remembered by the old members of
Company C, 9th Ohio Regt., as well as
the citizens of that village, as the first
meeting of that brave band, since the
last gun was fired at Rebellion. Early
in the morning flags were thrown to
the breeze; Col. joss stretching rope
across the street TO the roof of the
American House from his store, and
hauled ont his large banner. About 10
o'clock A. NJ. the Ragersville band ar
rived and the first salute was fired from
the Winesburg Howitzer, and soon the
pleasant, though otherwise quiet village,
became very lively; soldiers came in
from various quarters, and it would
have done any one good to see the old
veterans and comrades meet and well
come each other. About IL NJ. the ar
rival of the Shanesville band created
still more life. Amidst the merry music
the Winesburg Artillery could be heard
booming occasionally at the outskirts of
town. At temporary organization in
the morning Lieut.. c. S. Getz from
Uhrichsville, was appointed marshal of
the day. At P. NJ. the procession was
formed by the Marshal at the Public
Square; with the bands at the head and
banners unflrled, marched to the step
of music through the principal streets
and then repaired to the Town Hall,
where the reunion was held.
The house was called to order by
Lieut.. Getz, and Mr.. Henry Isely, from
st. Joseph, Mo-, was nominated to the
chair and Lieut.. \. J. Bowman, from
New Bedford, as secretary. Col. N. F.
joss then gave an address of welcome
in most glowing language to the soldiers
of the Company in behalf of Wines
burg which was highly applauded.-
Those who heard the Colonel on former
occasions can well imagine that it was
an eloquent and indeed heart stirring
speech, which, by request Of the COM
pany, was responded to by the chair
man, Mr.. II. Isely, in behalf of the COM
pany. His remarks were eloquent and |
touching, and very appropriate,-being |
frequently interrupted with rounds of
applause, and closing with the PROPOSE
ton for three hearty cheers for the hos
pitality of Winesburg, and the two
bands who honored the occasion with
their presence. He was heartily Sec
onded by his comrades in arms and
cheers were given that made the hall
ring. This brought Col. joss out once
more with appropriate remarks he pro-
posed three cheers in return.
Other speakers were called upon who
made short speeches, amongst the num-
Der were G. Geiber, Esq, Lieut.. Peters
Of the Goth n. Y. Regt., J. H. H. Craw-
ford, from Holmesville and Mr.. Jones
from Shanesville. Business matters
were deferred till after the supper, when
executive session was held and per-
manent organization effected.
The assembly then adjourned with
three hearty cheers for the Stars and
Stripes which were given with effect.
The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
