Mr.. Hutchinson said:
When l was quite young, just out
OF student life, and back home on the
dear old farm, |, as a boy, entered the
CT anir
infantry. My regiment has held TWEEN
ty-three reunions. have been cordi-
ally invited to attend every one, but
have never been back to the old home
for that purpose. About four weeks
AGO. / had very urgent invitation to
deliver the address of welcome at the
reunion of my regiment, which takes
place at Watsontown, Pa, Sept IS, the
anniversary of the battle of Antietam
l accepted, and must be there.
"Watsontown is the place where my
company was organized, and in that
vicinity and about Milton most of my
relatives live, and three miles north
of there on farm l was born. Mrs.
Hutchinson, too, has relatives near
Philadelphia. My appointment was
made before the election was ordered.
This explains why l cannot be here.
/ feel that the library election will be
attended to. have confidence in the
unprecedented good sense of all our cit
liens. l have taken the precaution, so
far as | can, to arrange so that full
vote will be gotten out. Each ward
will be looked after on that day. Nev-
ertheless, all who are impressed with
the need of a splendid library, for the
whole people, should be up and stir
ring on election day. They had better
do so if they want the library
