About twenty members Of the
Grand Army Post here left yester-
day afternoon to attend the grand
reunion of old soldiers at Sioux
Falls. The Elk Point brass band
accompanied the boys through the
kindness and generosity of Supt.
Jackson, who issued them passes to
Sioux Falls and return. The Sioux
Falls people have raised about $1,000
to give the boys free entertainment.
and we predict an elegant time for
them.
