WHY THEY APE HERT.
This association. which is now about
twenty-five wears old, takes an excursion
each year. They selected TO come TO Viz
einia because several members are ex- Union
soldiers and wanted 10 visit the battle
fields around Richmond, where they fought
during the war. So much has recently
been written about the development of
the State that they wanted to see some
parts of il for themselves and write their
impressions for their papers.
Mr.. VI. W. Smith, chief of the Indianapo-
liz bureau of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, has charge of the party. He IS a
very pleasant and afable gentleman and is
a thorough newspaper man. He IL accom-
panied by his bride, having been married q
few days before starting on the trip.
