FIFTH ANNUAL REUNION.

FIFTH ANNUAL REUNION.
DEAR GUARDS AND g. c.: The time is draw
ing near when We should turn our thoughts from
the everyday happenings of this noblest Or
ganizaton of ours to a point to which every loyal
| Guard has one concentrated interest-the fifth
| annual Reunion to be held at Pittsburg, Pa. I,
the week beginning Sept. 9, next
have letter from Sister Ola Belle Hotham,
in which she reports that the Entertainment
Committee of herself Sister Lizzie X. Faucet,
and Brother John Anderson are laboring ear
nestly to complete arrangements for the enter
tainment of us during sojourn in Pitts
burg. Ali she can report at present is prog
ress but assures me she will, ere long, be
able to make full report. We need have no
fear of satisfactory arrangements being made.
The next point is, how many will be present.
Pittsburg offers centrally con enient location
| reduced railroad fares and redoubled attrac-
tions to visitors. which. added to Guard inter
est. makes the largest Reunion yet held ex-
tremely probable.
There should be 500 of the Guards present
have already assurances of the presence of two
from New Hampshire and Vermont and one
from far-of Washington. tOf course Brother
Gates. of Canada, will be with US also) But
hundreds who live in comparative proximity
should use every endeayor to reach this point.
The railroad fare will be so low that almost
any one can raise it, while the cost of enter
tsinment at the C. C. g. headquarters will be
bat trifing.
There are several matters of the greatest i'm
portance to be considered at the meeting in
which every interested Guard should take part
1t is highly probable, too, that next year the
Encampment city will be Southern one Of
unfavorable location, all of which is reason
why we should rally for Pittsburg
1t is needless to mention the delectable pleas
ures experienced at National G. C. Reunion
All of us know the glad delight of the congenial
associations with those whom, by reason of
NATIONAL TRIBUNE acquaintance, we have
learned to love.
a Program Committee will soon be appointed
to call for volunteers for Reunion literary en-
tertainment. Think what you can do to aid
| them. Loyalty
