/ The Soldiers and Sailors Ec-nnion
j The general executive committee b
| the Soldiers and Sailors Association d
the Black Hills has about completed
arrangements for its meeting in this city
Ton the third Of July. The programme
althought not completed yet in detail
will be ns follows: The morning OF the
third will be given over to the reception
OF the delegates by the committee and
the citizens; at o'clock p. m. the asso-
citation will be called to order by Major
J. B. Fairbank, chairman of the execrl-
tive committee, and the annual business
transacted. At the conclusion of the
business meeting the veterans will ''fall
in for a grand parade and review, un-
der the command of General A. r. q
Dawson, of Deadwood. Ats p. M. the
association will again assemble for an
evening session, which will be devoted
to addresses, "reminiscences, music and
the like in short regular old-fash-
Toned camp fire that all old veterans are
expected to participate in. At the con-
clusion OF this meeting all old veterans
are invited to attend an elegant banquet
rendered by the ladies of Sturgis, at
which toasts, responses and music will
be enjoyed until all are satisfied. That
the event will be appreciated and en-
joyed by all who attend the reunion
goes without saying, as it is a physical
impossibility for old soldiers to get to-
gether without having good time.
A large crowd will be in attendance,
veterans from all over the Black Hills
country having already signifed their
intention of being present. Special
rates on all railroad, stage and hack
lines have been made, and the old veter-
ans can bring with them their families at
comparatively slight additional expense.
On the fourth the veterans are most cor
daily invited to ROMAN over with the
citizens OF Sturgis and participate in the
festivities Of the day, and join in the grand
parade in the afternoon. Elaborate
preparations have been made for the en-
tertainment of veterans, and most cor
dial invitation is extended to them to
partake of the Inequalities OF the people
of Sturgis on this the celebration Of our
nations birth.
