dtbe Veterans Association of Whit
man and Latah counties came to a.
,lose last Friday evening, the last,
,rA probably. the best, attraction on
he program being the campfire tales
Il the veterans present, which were
listened to by the largest audience
II the three days encampment. The
aa veterans, though feeble and gray,
oa their stories of army life in a
: way held the closest attention of
the listeners, and it is safe to say
that every one of that large audience
left the park that night with more
patriotism and more love for the
Boys Of 81 than ever before
Many we're the tales of hardship and
pdVatlons, happily interspersed with
stories of the good times and prac-
teal jokes Of the Civil War times,
and when the last of the veterans
bad told his story of his life at the
front, the listeners were reluctant to
leave
total of IS veterans registered
during the three days. The average
age of the soldiers was 70 years, or
