From Reunion Daily,
COUSINS HAVE MET FOR
THE FIRST TIME.
Cousins Who Have Bssn
Separated for Years arc
Re- United on tho
Camp Grounds

Camp Logan has been the scene
of many glad reunions of friends
and relatives, but probably no
more pathetic and yet joyous one
was the meeting of two cousins
yesterday afternoon. One had
fought for the blue and the other
had gone away from his home
and friends and fought for the
gray.
After the war the breach was
never bridged, and time only
served to take the cousins furtht r
apart. They neither knew whe!!.-
er the other lived or not, and are
now old men. Yesterday they
both came from their different
homes to be once more with the
soldiers, for what may be the last
time, and upon being introduced
to each other, found that they
were cousins. Then their love
for one another was stronger than
they had known and the two men
forgot their grievances and en-
braced each other. The fife and
drum were playing, but were un-
noticed by these two. They are
together today as happy as two
school boys at their first picnic.

From Reunion Daily.
FROM HEADQUARTERS.

Headquarters, Camp Logan,
August 2Sth 1906.
Comrades and Friends:-Once
more we have met around the
old camp fires to relate our army
stories and sing or hear our Ia
vorite war songs, as well as to
have a grand good time and en-
Joy a weeks visit with each other
and our patriotic friends.
God in His goodness has spared
our lives one year longer, blessed
us with delightful weather and a
general line of prosperity unpar-
alelled in the history of our ma
tion.
Hence, we should show our ap-
probation of His kindness by
conducting ourselves as becomes
good soldiers and citizens. Let
us continue offering the Olive
Branch of Peace to all nations
and live the highest type OF true
American citizenship.
When we are being congratu-
lated upon our grand victories OF
1S61-65 let us not forget our
brave sons who rallied to our
martyred President Mckinley's
call in the Spanish-American
War of 1898. Many of our dear
comrades have answered to the
last roll call since we met one
year ago and we deeply mourn
their loss and will not forget our
duty to distribute flowers upon
their graves as years pass and
our health continues.
Comrades of all wars and
friends of all nations; Old Camp
Logan is yours for the week; the
reunion is yours and must OF
necessity be just what you make
it. The officers of the associa-
tion have the utmost confidence
in your honor, fidelity and pa
triotism and feel sure that you
will do nothing now or in the
future that will reflect discredit
in any way upon yourselves or
the association to which you con-
stitute a most prominent and
honored part. They feel assured
of your obedience to all orders
issued from headquarters and
that the week may be one of
great enjoyment to all. So wade
in everybody, have a good time
and your officers will rejoice with
you.
J. M. McNAY,
Adjutant.

Much of the success of this,
the biggest reunion ever held
anywhere on earth, is due to the
untiring efforts and hard work of
Comrade Frank Miller, who takes
care of Camp Logan. Comrade
Miller looks after the water sys-

cleaned up and beautified. He is
a valuable man, not only to the
officers of the association, but to
every stockholder and visitor.
