persisted that he was coming back here to run
the farm, though no one really supposed he
would do SO, as he was making money in the
city and has abundant means. But evidently
the call Of the land has taken him back to

The annual reunion of Co. F. of the old 18th
Maine, held June 18th, passed off very pleas
antly. AS near as can be ascertained there
are only 10 left of the 100 men who, with SUBJ
sequent additions, formed the company. Seven
of those were present on this occasion; to wit,
Lieut. Albert Rose, John johnson, L. C. Put.
nam, E. D. Tasker, F. M. Forbes. Charles
Elwell and VIM. c. Rowe. From Co. K. of the
same regiment there were present F. l..
Palmer, Henry Braddock, A. A. Daley, True P,
Cilley, and few others whose names we
missed formed the contingent of the veterans
present. They got together in the morning
and had the usual cool time until the bountiful
dinner was ready, when they displayed such
ability in the astronomical line for old men
that the cooks wondered just what sort of
men they were when young, and allowed that
they did not wonder that it cost Uncle Sam
something to feed his army In the afternoon
they had campfire, with an address of well
come by Rev. David Bracket, response by
Mrs. F. L. Palmer, remarks by comrades and a
program by the young people. A special feat
ure of a flag drill by eight young ladies was
heartily applauded. The entertainment as a
whole was pleasing. The townspeople were
present in goodly numbers and the old veter-
ans once more had a good time and went home
