In spite Of the unpleasant weather. On
Of the rain the exercises which
we're to have been held at the Fair
Grounds were held at the Armory and
were attended by quite number Of the
Of that gallant regiment and
their friends. The address of welcome
was delivered by Hon. H. D. Davis at
1880 O'Clock in the morning, and the
ON behalf Of the old soldiers,
was made by Rev. J. W. Klise. The
"mess" call was then sounded and two
long tables profusely decorated with cold
chicken, pumpkin pie and call the deli
cacies Of the season" were soon sur.
rounded by the hungry veterans and
their guests. The wives and daughters
of the survivors attended to that part Of
the entertainment, and the way the
disappeared spoke better for
the excellent manner in which they
performed their duties than could whole
columns Of fulsome praise.
After dinner the Hillsboro Military
Band discoursed some patriotic airs in
an artistic manner and "the boys" again
Marched Through Georgia" and "Ral,
lied Round the Flag" Capt. ]. NJ,
Hiestand, officiating as master of cere-
monies, introduced Hon. w. G. Hudson,
of Blanchester, who was elected ''son Of
the regiment" After paying his "dues,"
he proceeded to deliver an impromptu
address that elected frequent and hearty
applause and that was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present. He came out
strongly in favor Of more liberal pensions
and the abolition Of the pension agent.
He was followed by Rev. J. w. Klise,
in short address which was eloquent
and mastery and which held the audi.
ence spell bound. The meeting then ad.

The rainy weather that necessitate
the holding of the reunion in door
also prevented the elaborate decoration
which the citizens of the city had con
templated. However, many yards ,
silk and bunting were unfurled an
everything possible was done to max
the visiting veterans feel at home an
the affair was q pleasant one, not alon
to the old soldiers but to all present.
