-MARRIED.-At Columbus Thurs
day, Sept. l, 1892, Miss Annie Fox and
Mr.. Elijah Motion. The News extends
congratulations.
There have been q regular army
Of hacks and carriages working here
this week, but they seemed to be doing
a fair business.
Col. Greene and Col. Campbell
who were with us last night, attended
two other reunions this week before
getting here.
Everybody says the reunion this
year is larger by big odds than ever
before, and 1t will be still larger next
year. Mark our prediction.
"A number of the occupants of
Hariley's half acre quietly packed up
their business utensils last night aud
will likely be elsewhere by noon to-
day.
"A scrapping match occurred be-
tween couple of hot bloods near the
pavilion Yesterday. Otherwise Camp
Logan was as quiet as Sunday school
picnic.
"A hospital has not been in demand
at Camp Logan in the past, but II the
giving birth TO twins is going to con-
tinue hospital will be one of the ne.
cessities IN the future.
bob McGregor tried some of the
bootleg whiskey which the police cap
tnred from The enemy and declared Il
was about the worst tipple he had
struck since he left the army.
Our police force has done good
work this year or the peace disturbers
are not here. Few arrests have been
made and no serious disturbance of
any kind has marred our pleasure.
The ID. S. De. did not give their
fan drill as advertised owing to cir
cuInstances over which they had no
control. They will be OH hand next
year with something unique and start
ling.
Let us ace, we have had a mar.
risge in camp and birth Of twins
since the reunion commenced, but no
deaths. If there is another encamp-
ment of old soldiers that can produce
a like record please let II be known.
The reelection of the officers of
the Reunion Association is a high
complement. II there are better men
10 manage the reunion than j. j. Frib.

many goods or stuff in their natural
born lives in the same length of time

The worlds fair is liable 10 be put
OF Oh account of the cholera. In case

them to bring the show here and make
