THE FIGHTING FIFTH.
About Seventy Members of their Old Reg
iment Attended the Reunion in This
Citv "Wednesday

About Seventy Members of their Old Reg
City, Wednesday.
The Fifth Michigan Cavalry, the old
Fighting Fifth" held a reunion in this
city Wednesday and, as usual, enjoyed
themselves, in spite of the bad weather and
muddy streets.
During the morning the members gath
cred at the G. A. r. hall where they passed
the time In an informal way talking over
the experiences so long gone by and now so
dear to all In the thought that these same
experiences are what bind them together so
closely. The members were escorted to
the hall from the train by members of Co.
G, who acted as reception committee.
The afternoon session was opened at two
o'clock with President K. l.. Brewer, OF
this city, presiding. Secretary b. F. John
son, of Almont, read the minutes of the last
reunion and also financial statement of
the condition Of the association. The secre-
tary then addressed the company in
speech full of "reminiscences and thoughts
which stirred up still other "reminiscences
in the minds of his hearers. President K.
l.. Brewer also addressed the company,
emphasizing the pride he felt at being their
presiding officer at time when he could
welcome them to his own home city.
The association elected Mrs. Mary Gould
Todd and Mrs. Abbie Gould Allison, who
are daughters of their old colonel, to hon.
orary membership. The following officers
were also elected:
President, c. w. Mcdonald, Detroit; vice
president, E. l.. Brewer, Owosso; secretary
and treasurer, b. F. johnson, Almont;
historian, Lieut.. Harris, Chicago.
The Fifth Regiment, Mich. Cavalry, was
recruited during the summer of 1862, and
mustered in at Detroit on August 80, of
that year. Ebenezer Gould, of this city,
was mustered In as one of the majors, and
K. l.. Brewer. who had raised squad of
twenty-five men, was given cOrpOralcy.
The regiment left the state in December.
The men were armed with Spencer seven
shot rifles.
BY February they had seen service, for
after doing general duty at Washington
they took part in the Blue Ridge raid,
bringing back less than third of the men
with whom they started. By this time
Major Gould had become lieutenant-colonel
and Russell A. Alger was made colonel.
The regiment was shortly after made part
of the Michigan cavalry brigade and placed
under Custer, who showed them some hot
service. Col. Gould received his commits
sion as colonel the same year but resigned
soon after, as wound which he had re-
ceived had never healed. e. l.. Brewer
did not receive his commission as lieuten-
ant until '64, though he had been in COM
mend of his company as orderly sergeant
for considerable time before this.

Scientific Lectures.

Prof. Riddell has been engaged by the
Young Peoples Union to give a course
of six lectures in this city next week.
The first and second lectures will be
given in the Baptist church Sunday and
Monday evenings. The subject matter
is the scientific and philosophical
foundations of the Christian belief, a
subject which cannot fail to be of inter-
est to every intelligent thinker, whether
he believesin the Christian faith in the
orthodox sense or not. The several
churches will be asked to unite their
congregations so there will be no excuse
to keep any one away who is interested
in such subjects The course is free,
but an opportunity will be given to
those who desire to do so, to aid in
defraying the expenses of the course.

SHIAWASSEE BATTALION.
An Interesting Meeting Yesterday-vet-
erans Both Young and Old Listen to
Stories of the Past.


Stories of the Past.
The Shiawassee County Battalion held
its eighth reunion in this city yesterday
and while the attendance was not as
large as it has usually been, owing to
the cold wet weather, yet the reunion
was success and those who attended
were well repaid for venturing out
against the opposition of the elements.
The attention which these gray haired
veterans receive is not diminished in
the least by the presence of the younger
veterans who in fact delight in showing
all honor to the older heroes and the
keen interest which the public has felt
in the young veterans of this last war
has even served to heighten the interest
and sympathy of the public and give 1t
a truer insight into the real meaning of
the hardships and sufferings which the
older men endured.
The meeting of the Shiawassee battal-
ion thus has more significance than
usual for it serves to bind together the
present with the past in much the same
way that every section of our country
has been bound together by the late
war.
The forenoon meeting was of busi-
ness nature and was held in the rooms
of Quackenbush Post G. A. X. The
report of the monument committee was
made, few new members were voted
in, and the following officers for the
ensuing year were elected:
{ Colonel-J. G. Thomas, Corunna.
Lieut.. Col.-W. r. Smith, Owosso
Major-W. E. Cummins, Corunna.
Quartermaster-J. j. Mackey, Owos-
so.
Surgeon-Dr. A. G. Cowles, Durand.
Chaplain-Rev. James Fisher, Cor
unna.
Adjutant-Geo. F. Robinson, Owosso.
The afternoon session, which was
held in the armory, was presided over
by Col. Thomas. Prayer was offered
by Comrade Henry King and music was
furnished by Duff's male choir.
The first speaker of the afternoon was
H. FL. Pulver, of Laingsburg, who gave
one of his entertaining speeches, mingl-
ing anecdotes with review of the work
of the battalion and sketch of the
harmony throughout the country which
Is the result of the late war, together
with its resultant responsibilities for
the United States government.
The remarks of Col. A. 7. Bliss, of
Saginaw, who was present much to the
delight of the Shiawassee veterans, were
received with great enthusiasm. He
spoke of the events leading up to the
war, its period of anxious waiting and
then the wonderful burst of enthusiasm
which sprung from the people when
the great vict ory in Cuban waters
became known. The colonel himself
had participated in that outburst OF
patriotism like boy and will carry a
mutilated hand for life in consequence
of it. He spoke of the enormous work
of raising the army in so short time,
of the so-called mistakes of Sec'y Alger,
which he characterized as being mostly
on paper, saying that Gen. Alger is all
right and more than that, has the
country behind him. He paid a glow
ing tribute to the work of the w. r. G.
and to the young soldiers who had
shown that valor is still an American
characteristic and after eulogizing the
mastery course of our president urged
his comrades to see that he had the
support he deserved from them.

An ASSURED FACT.
Free Rural Delivery to be Tried
in Shiawassee.
Two Routes Laid Out on which Mail
will Probably be Delivered by Mo-
vember Ist

Senator Burrows Pays his Respects to
Shiawassee County-Republican Can
didates Took an Active Interest.
Shiawassee county is soon to be the
scene of one of the experiments being
made all over the country in the matter
of free rural mail delivery. At least this
seems an assured fact at this writing,
and is as certain as anything can
be which is not already an established
fact.
When it is considered that there was
an appropriation of only $780, 900 made
by congress for the purpose of estab-
fishing experimental routes it will be
easily seen that the chances are that the
appropriation will hardly be sufficient
to establish even one route in each con.
gressional district, to say nothing of
establishing more than one in any dis
trict. When this is taken into consid-
GRAFTON, the fact that one is secured for
Shiawassee county, is indeed matter
of congratulation to all concerned.
The Maple River Farmers Club, which
has been agitating the question during
the past summer and fall, commenced
to work at the matter in earnest just at
the right time and showed their politi-
cal shrewdness by presenting the mat
ter to Mr.. Joseph w. Fordney, republi-
can candidate for congress, and later to
Senator Burrows, of whom the request
for assistance was made, personally,
when he was present in the city two
weeks ago. Mr.. Fordney, who thor
oughly believes in the right of the rural
population to enjoy the advantages of
free mail service, also made personal
appeal to the senator to use his infu-
ence, and did not hesitate to use his in
fluence in other directions as we'll
The republican candidates for state sem
ator and representative, Mr.. Chas. b.
Collingwood, of Lansing, and Mr.. Geo.
T. Mason, of Owosso, were equally
urgent in pushing the claims of these
gentlemen who were actively in the
field at the right time, and as a result
of this combined pressure, though
mainly in response to an urgent request
of Senator Burrows, Mr.. F. M. Dice, of
Indiana, special agent for the establish
ment of these experimental routes was
sent to Owosso and spent Wednesday
and yesterday looking over the one
posed here.
The original route as proposed by the
representatives of the Maple River
Farmers Club was found entirely too
short for full days work, and con-
siderable territory was added south of
the city to make a trip suitable for an
afternoons drive. Even when extend
ed this left, the forenoon unprovided
for, and upon an examination of county
and township maps and after driving
over two or three other proposed
routes, Mr.. Dice laid out, as being best
adapted to the purpose both for num-
bers served and for location, another
route west of the city for forenoon
work. The people along both routes,
which are here given, are to be con-
graduated on the successful outcome of
this effort.
