and clear Friday morning, giving evil
dence of a fine day for reunion and
members of the association and friends
were encouraged to set their faces
toward Reynoldsville, and they came
on trains, In hacks, carriages and bug
gies and by noon there was large
crowd Of visitors on the streets of our
town. On account Of waiting to give
all the Golden Eagles an opportunity to
enjoy the days program, everything

little girls and two brass bands were in

delivered by grand officers and other
speakers, but this was the only part of
the advertised program where the

officers failing to come as they had
promised to do. Thursday afternoon
telegram was received by the committee
that the two grand officers expected
could not be here. A large crowd as
sembled in the park and were called to
