union. The Young Ladies' institute a typical

with every courtesy possible. A few noisy boys
had to keep quiet, and few O. c. girls had to be

FAMOUS NATIONAL TRIBUNE REUNIONS
FRIENDS THE GUARDS: am impelled by the
force Of many pleasant recoilecions of our grand
fourth annual Reunion at Indianapolis 10 say that
L WAS well pleased. The manner in which our
wide awake. loyal Indiana Division received US ia
worthy of our deepest gratitude aud Hottest eueo-
miums. felt satisfied that better place of Re-
union could not have been secured in the city.
Tie institute was uniquely arranged and suited TO
needs.
Indiana Division happily represented. and 1t
may well feel proud of its loyal, enthusiastic
genial constituency. The Hoosier brothers and Sis
tiers alike were credit to our organization in every
a privilege meet.
Then there the many other genial friends
from far and near, those whom had not before
seen, and those lopged to again cordially
grasp by the hand. In meeting all we were nowise
disappointed
The icy conventional barriers that perhaps had
unavoidably existed previous to the Reunion, were
there broken, rs II were, by the strong, genial
current OF aniaDity intelligence aud patriotism.
Never until then did L fully realize what e great
privilege 1t WAS TO belong TO THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE loyal family, with SO considerable. just, and
/ fnyat lla min tat hand
Is II, them wonder that the interest Ia these our
National annual mental festivities should increase
year by year? am persuaded TO persevere in the
prosecution OF our good and loyal cause with
newea energy, SO that when meet in Pittsburg
next year may honestly feel the satisfaction of
noble duty wei performed. Nature gives only to
the uBselfish workers the genial incandescent glow
OF q sacred trust sscredly guarded"
