called upon to occupy position of honor
In their old home place.
The pleasure expressed by Mckinney
citizens In reading the HERALD's edition Of
Wednesday, the 8th instant, OTbids any
comment on the reunion from your local
correspondent. IL was unfortunate that
the Daily was lacking member OF the
regular staff to hear the expressions of our
citizens in their realization OF the close OF
70 happy an occasion. 1t would take "A pen
accustomed TO sad exercise TO give n
graphic portrayal Of the home veterans
looks on the eve OF Wednesday. Exercises

| OF society, and in the hop, or dance solreo,

| The many features OF last week, prepare
tons Tor the runion, were varied in their
character, and prominent among the Pile Ms
antries were the things pertaining to the
entertainment of the Thespian corps. A
III digestion Of the musical director, the ac.
complished Mrs. Gibson, caused Mr.. A. l..
FairChild, Jay GOuld's able representative
IN the southeastern system, TO concur in
the belief that u "cantats," a mingling OF
song aud drama, would afford pleasure to
the lovers OF science, art, and serve to dis,
pei feelings which are the birth of mo.
nolony. The occasion in its programme
called loudly Tor fairy liking, and what
