citation Held Tuesday.

Third Reunion Of the Northwestern Asso-
citation Held Tuesday.
Great preparations were made to
make the third reunion of the North
western Association OF the X. G. T..
lodge held here Tuesday surpass any
parade ever witnessed in Reynoldsville,
and had the inclement weather not put
damper on 1t, there is no doubt but
what 1t would have been grand
"send off" for the Eagles. Notwith-
standing the disagreeable weather five
hundred fine looking men were in line.
The entire town did not don festive
attire, but considerable decorating was
done from Dr. McCreight's office to the
Arnold block The arch across Main
street near Hotel Belnap, was the
prettiest decoration ever seen on Reyn-
oldsville streets.
The early morning hours of Tuesday
indicated that the Eagles would have
bad day to spread themselves, yet the
rain fall did not amount to much until
about the noon hour when the rain
came down the near way and continued
to fall ''upon the just and unjust" the
remainder of the afternoon. Buggies,
carriages, wagons, &C., kept coming
into town nearly all forenoon and about
11:3O A. NJ. special train OF four
coaches came in over the II. g. F. G. R'y.
The crowd in town was large, but not
what 1t would have been had nature
given the Eagles one OF her beautiful
days. The parade was to have taken
place at 200 p. NJ, but was postponed
until 300 o'clock in hopes that the rain
would cease. They paraded between
Arnold's block and the Sandy Lick
creek in the following order:
Four Sir Knights, Thos. Fl. Spears,
Ralph Reed, d. II. Yates and John
Butson, in full uniform.
FIRST DIVISION.
Punxsutawney brass band,

Mountain Queen Castle.
| Eleanora brass band,

Even though the rain poured down
necessarily upon them, yet they made
a splendid appearance.
After the parade convention was
held in the l. o. o. f. hall and the
following business transacted: The
beautiful silk banner was awarded TO
the Gustaf Adolph Castle, No. 446, of
Dubois, for having the largest percent
of members in the parade Dubois was
selected for the reunion in 1893, and
it is to be held on the second Tuesday
in August. VIM. McClosky was elected
District Grand Chief, John Simpson,
secretary, and G. A. Reed, treasurer.
Three prizes are to be given next year
as follows First prize, $50 banner;
second, s25 flag; third, a ten dollar
sword. 1t is to be hoped the X. G.. T..
will have better day in 1893 than they
had here yesterday. The special train
left at TOO p. NJ. carrying an orderly
crowd of Eagles.
We must say that the X. G. f. acted
like gentlemen while in Reynoldsville,
and although their name might indicate
noise, yet there was very little scream
ing done. Come again, Knights of the
Golden Eagle.
