The Coming Reunion.

was held in this city last week, at the
Office of County Treasurer Lester,
to decide upon a programme for the
coming reunion and fix the date for the
same. There were present of the exc
cutive committee, President Baxter,
Col. Virgin, Commander-in-Ch Chief and
the reunion was fixed as the 9TH and 8th
of June. The programme outlined
will not be published until a few weeks
previous to the date set, when it will be
printed in full in the county papers so
that all members of the association may
see just what is to be done.
Quarter master John Kelly having re-
signed, on account of going away, DR..
l.. 6. Armstrong, of Boscobel, was APP
pointed in his place and instructed by
the committee to secure grounds and
make all necessary arrangements. 1t
was also decided to purchase head
quarter tent which it was found could
be obtained for about $50. A resolu-
ton was adopted that a tax of twenty
five cents should be assessed ON each
member of the organization 10 defray
necessary expenses; the resolution be-
ing subject to the approval of the organ
ization. A committee, consisting of
Messrs John F. Lane, Herman Buch-
ner and w. p. Durley was appointed
to prepare a permanent badge for the
organization. 1t was also resolved, if
possible to secure Col. Villas, of Madi-
son, to deliver the address at the reun-
ion, and Col. Virgin was instructed TO
confer with him to that effect.
The programme as outlined is some
what similar to former ones. The first
day will be devoted to organization
The second to review, business meet
ing, and addresses.
The people of Boscobel are, as usual
when they are called upon to act the
part of hosts, alive to the necessities of
