this place, was grand success
The people from abroad wer
:, loud in their praises of the cour

people as also Of the manage
lnent, which was largely due 4
The persistent and untiring effort
r of Capt. D A. Miller.
The music was fine. The Lo'
q gan band, unexcelled in th'
Hooking Valley. deserves praise
for their appropriate selections
and The manner in which they
were executed. The Nelsonvllle
Drum Corps. composed princi-
palIy of little boys from - 10 II
years of age. astonished every
body, They are little giants in
their profession and deserve the
highest praise. Splendid martial
music was gwen by the old
soldiers.
An attempt to describe the
magnificent and colossal decora-
tions would be vain. Men,
women, children and teams were
engaged for several days in COL
lectIng and arranging evergreens,
| flowers, pictures and flags. The
elaborate display at the business
house of Chas. Rose was particn.
larly noticeable, and the whole
town presented perfect picture.
At the Opera House OH Thurs.
day afternoon, the speeches made
by Col. Yeoman, Col. Harris and
Col. Friesner were able, appro-
pirate, non partisan and quite en-.
terlaining 10 all who heard them.
At night the soldiers gathered
around their campfires, which
were located in different parts of
The citv, and talked over The tolls
and privations through which
they passed during the war of
the rebellion.
The fire works department was
under the exclusive control of K.
o. Kiitsmiller and everything
was conducted IN business and
like manner. A con-
slant cannonad.ng was kept up
by Robert during the entire re-
union. Several very successful
balloon ascensions were made on
Thursday evening under The man
agement of James Engle, of our
own. Il
At IL o'clock on Friday the {
wo regiments gave a grand street 1
parade. which was witnessed by d
many thousand people, and then c
hey marched 10 The rink where t

light, which was so gracefully n
nd admirably given by the
orty young ladies'. under the d.
sc,ion of Mrs. Pullen, was quite c
IL innovation in the line of re- a
