Large Crowd of Orderly PeO-
pie in Attendance.
Cromwell Captured the Meeting
to be Held Next Year In
Close Contest.

The annual reunion of the old
Soldiers Federal and Confederate
which was held at Cromwell on Thurs
day of last week was well attended
and highly enjoyed.
The day was an idel one and all
immense throng, mostly from the near
by precincts of Ohio county and from
Butler county filled the little hamlet
and the woods near by where prepara-
tons had been made to entertain them
Al half past ten, Hon. Slade Taylor,
Morgantown, VINO was on the program
for the welcome address, performed
that duty and IN a neat speech told
the "boys" and all corners 10 be
welcome and feel at home. His adj
dress was responded TO by Rev. 10
A. Bennett, of Beda, who served in
Co. d., 26th Ky. Infantry. While Rev.
Bennett was yet speaking Judge James
arrived on the ground and also well
coined the crowd TO Cromwell.
The Centertown band was present
and rendered good music during the
opening exercises and throughout the
day. The chaplain, Rev. II. c. Tru-
man then read list of deceased com
rades during the year which follows
hereafter. After dinner several other
addresses were made by Judge X. r.
Wedding, +. NJ. Woodward and others.
An ample supply of eatables was
provided for all and great amount OF
food left over. The crowd was an order
ly and quite as a church gathering. The
only unfavorable condition that arose
was the exhaustion of the water sup
ply about noon and from that on the
only way the crowd mad to appease
thirst was to apply 10 the stands wnere
they procured an article called lemon
AIDE. When the time came for the
election of a place for the next re-
union, Cromwell mad It's forces well
in hand and captured the meeting
again for next year. Beaver Dam,
Rochester and Central City also made
strong efforts to capture the meeting
but Cromwell had the advantage by
thorough preparation for the fight and
gained the day.
