THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT.
A Call for Meeting of Ex-Prisoners of War
"A Committee Goes to Columbus.

generation ago, but who will not let this oppor-
tunity pass to meet again those who were with
them when soldering meant suffering and hard
ship endured for all those then living and who
might come after them. The pomp of dress
parade will count less with these old veterans
than the grasp of the hand of those who shared
with them the life in camp and the dangers of
| the battlefield. The 18th OF August will be the
| day of the encampment for this class of Indi-
| ana's citizens. 1t is probable that considerably
