brated by Reunion of the Blue and the

all of the patriotic organizations of the

veterans from the Soldiers Home and the
different organizations of the Confederate
veterans, who are now acknowledged to
be among the most patriotic of our in
tensely loyal citizenship; prominent citi

County officials; officers of the associa

crown all, the hero of Santiago, the brave
Gen. Shafter, who, with his staff, were
the honored guests of the occasion. The

"The afternoon session was presided
over by Col. ThOrp, of the Confederate
veterans, and the evening session by ex-
Gov. Beveridge, of Illinois, who is an
honored resident of the County.
"The occasion was pronounced by all
one Of the most interesting as well as one
of the most important in the history Of the
County. The commingling of the Blue and
Gray. and the fraternal feeling engendered
was one OF the most happy features of the
great occasion, and will doubtless prove a
blessing to all concerned"

In days gone by the road from en-

marked by desperate struggles. In our
own time we have seen a republic be-
come an empire almost in day; a
free republic annexed, kingdom
wrested from an old world tyrant and
added to the possessions of younger
nation. The thunder of Dewey's guns
announced the opening of new and
strange chapter in American history,

ton may hang in the balance as the
