DEDICATION OF AMPHITHEATRE.

The amphithrair was dedicated
last night 10 the uses and comfort Of
the old soldiers Of The tenth annual re.
union and the Interstate Reunion
Association. After several pieces Of
instrumental music 10y the OrOnog0
and Baxter hands, the building CON-
m!ttee through lis chairman, &. w.
Daniels, presented the amphiihralre to
the association. After singing hv The
Baxter glee club, the Rev. II. NJ Hack
ney OF Joplin delivered u dr'licaiory
address or what might properly m
termed a good rousing loyal, patriotic
oratorical soldiers talk. Mr.. Hackney
is a natural orator and although u
Methodist preacher aud emburd
with some of their characteristics, he
is full OF natural American humor,
and kept the old boys in broad grin
from beginning to end. We are ex-
ceedingly sorry that our limited space
will not permit the publication of his
speech IN full, hut IL was entirely
satisfactory to the association and
delighted the entire audience. His
anecdotes OF slavery aud thrilling IN.
cideml, Of the war stirred up the
blood of the BOYS who wore the blue
aud Ia glowing language he brought
them back 10 the old times of 6l I'M
iii they could almost imagine another
war had broken loose aud there was
call for volunteers.
Mr.. Hackne,'s address was not OF
the religious, political or bloody shirt
order aud YET there might br a tinge
Of all these, but We must moi forget
thai these meetings naturally bring us
back to the old times when loyalty,
patriotism and true religion went
hand IN hand, nor can we ignore the
fact that the bloody shirt and the
bloody result Of u cruel war Is the
prime cause OF ihrse annual meetings.
