THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDED
THE ANNUAL BUCKWHEAT REUNION.
Day When Old Friends rIet and Talked of the
Events of Long Ago.

The Buckwheat Reunion In Coleman's
grove at Goodville, Indiana county, has
become an annual event that Is looked
forward to with great amount of
anticipated pleasure by large number
of people, as it is an occasion when
brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts,
cousins and old time friends meet to
spend pleasant day together. From
the farm lands in the section OF the
county where the reunion Is held young
men have gone into the various walks
of life, statesmen, lawyers, doctors,
preachers, ETC., and although some of
them live In distant states, they arrange
to visit the old homes about the time Of
this reunion. Friendship and good will
has been one OF the main features of
this reunion, but on account OF the
large crowds that assemble in the Cole
man grove for the reunion, money
sharks are becoming more conspicuous
each year, and unless those in charge
Of the reunion keep tight rein on this
class of fellows the original intent Of
the reunion will be lost sight of entirely.
Having heard SO much talk of the
Buckwheat reunion, having been born
within few miles of Goodville and
having number OF old acquaintances
in that neighborhood, ye editor was one
of the half hundred people OF this place
who attended the reunion Thursday.
Through the kindness Of Joseph S.
Hammond, superintendent OF the u. 81
F. G. R'y, we left here at $50 a. m. OF.
special train of engine and one coach.
At Falls Creek our Car was attached on
to rear OF special train on b., r. & p.
We arrived at the grove before nine
o'clock and there was already large
crowd en- the grounds. Rigs had been
arriving all morning from the rural
districts within Il radius of 10 to 20
miles, and they continued to come until
noon, when there were seven or eight
thousand people in the grove and the
woods surrounding the grove were full
Of hacks, buggles and wagons. Had the
baskets OF good things to eat been piled
In one heap it would have made an
immense pile.

Washington, Oct. s.-The veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and their friends were entertained
yesterday by a parade given in honor
of the naval veterans and by a num-
Der OF. reunions held in the big assem-
bly, tents at Camp Roosevelt. The
weather was threatening during the
early morning, but the sun burst
through the clouds about noon, SO that
with the mild temperature that pre-.
vailed there a no reason for com
plant on that score. The attendance
has steadily increased and the city is
crowded as 1t has been only on very
rare occasions.
The naval parade of the forenoon
was not as large as many that have
been seen in Washington, but it was
in every way interesting. The vet
Grams of the navy each appeared to be
an embodiment OF the nations recent
history and every squad of them was
an object Of interested observation
