REUNION AT VINTON, IOWA.

The Benton county, Iowa, Veterans, held their
annual Reunion on the 18th and 18th of last
month, at Vinton. The yard surrounding the
court house was turned into a camp ground, and
tents pitched for the accommodation of visitors
Something over one thousand ex-soldiers were
present, including Robert Henry Henderson,, the
Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock, who was
kind enough to handle the sticks for the gratiti-
cation of those present, and also to give the boys
a short talk.
Judge B. r. Sherman, Major J. A. Pickle,
(Thirtieth Iowa Cavalry Colonel Chadbourn, Ma
jOr Geddes, and others, made speeches, which were
well received Songs, instrumental music, the re-
lation of incidents and anecdotes of the war, and
eating, who ever knew a soldier to be happy I'M
less hecould eat, filled in pleasantly the time
two days-during which the Reunion continued.
A business meeting was held on the last day
for the election of officers for the ensuing year,
and at which appropriate steps were taken to do
honor to the memories of dead comrades.
The next Reunion will be held at Belle Plains.

WIDE AWAKE.

Among all the various magazines for youthful
readers not one can be found superior in attrac-
tions and good reading to WIDE AWAKE, the
October number of which we have received. The
illustrations are evidently by the best artists,
finely executed, and appropriate to the season

tone, and decidedly interesting; besides, there is
sufficient variety to please all classes of readers.
We can honestly commend it to young people
everywhere, as a bright, pure, and entertaining
magazine in every respect.

dened countenance, speak the Nations sorrow for
its ilustrious dead. The weeks of weary, patient
suffering are ended and President James A Gar
field, our comrade and old companion arms,
the pure patriot, brave warrior wise statesman,
noble ruler Christian hero, has been mustered
out of our Grand Army, to join the ranks of the
invisible host above In every home IN our broad
land to-day there is one dead.
But there is no death to one whose life has been
brave, and generous, and true; though the sleep
ing form may molder into dust, his memory lives
in immortal youth; and in this hour OF universal
gloom, we temper our sorrow and dry our tears IN
the sunshine of his great worth and bright exam
pie.
Spared from the peril of hotly-contested fields,
General Garfield has fallen by the assassin's bull
let but not till he had given to the Republic, in
the fullness of well-rOunded manhood, life OF
purity, sweetness, and nobility which will stand
as an example to American youth through I'M
numbered years to come.
Our tenderest sympathy ana Warmest love go
out to the brave, devoted wife, the aged mother,
and the weeping children, in the bereavement
which we can only family feel and share.
1t will be fitting, during the passage of the
funeral cortege to the place Of final rest that the
Grand Army of the Republic, wherever opportu-
nifty presents should offer to act as escort or guard
of honor to the body of their late comrade.
All officers of the Grand Army, when on duty
on public occasions, will wear Grape upon the left
arm, during the next thirty days; colors should
be appropriately draped during the same period
and flags should be displayed at halfmast on
the day of the funeral
