The Blue and the Gray.

The Blue and the Gray.
Saturday evening witnessed a grand
reunion of the veteran soldiers Of Austin
and vicinity, at the new Odd-F Fellows hall.
One could hardly realize, as they looked
upon the stalwart forms of nearly three
score soldier boys, that 20 years had
elapsed since they fought with Grant in
the wilderness, or marched with Sherman
to the Sea, so kindly had time dealt with
them. and still here and there gray locks
appeared as eminous tokens that the ranks
of the Unions defenders were gradually
thinning cut.
The new Pest was organized by A
Swift, assisted by Comrades G. A. War
rem, NJ, B. Johnson, B. Maxwell, N. N
Parmenter, B. E. Stimson aud others, o.
