sent to Texas. over 40 of the veterans met on
the above day. Can tell you of our feel
ings? No, we can't words fail we say nothing:
but the old tried and true men Of four years
service and more can enter into the spirit and
realize the feelings that obtain at "a Reunion. The
day was spent very pleasantly, n few Of the vets
having their wives and daughters with them. Let
ters read from absent comrades in Florida,
Massachusetts and the far West. Our next will DO
held at Washington Courthouse Oh Tuesday OF tine
week OF the State Fair. We do this in order to
get rates to Columbus. One serious drawback to
our Reunions is the railroad fare. If II only
one-hAlf of what it now is many more Of the old
soldiers would DO able to 20 and enjoy with their
comrades that happiness and pleasure only found
this side Of the better world.
