 Veterans Pleased.
 The veterans of the town or at least those, who attended a photo-play in New Britain yesterday afternoon were loud in their praise of the Sons of Veterans association today The latter body acted as host to the for l mer on the occasion. The Boys of ! '61" enjoyed the play immensely and ! many tender memories and associa- ] tions were revived by the picture ! Port Master Henry L. Porter, had only one complaint in regard to the l picture, despite close attention paid by 1 him, he failed to see the bridge at Antietem, where he was in that great l battle. A. A. Weldon, who was just 1 returning from Maine, was met by the 1 party at the depot and was imme- l diately invited to join in. MT. Weldon l took part in the battle of Petersburg l and his blood tingleG as he saw the l events of that memorable conflict l brought before his eyes. All the vet
 erans were deeply touched by the courtesy of the younger association in l inviting them to see the picture, but as MT. Weldon said this morning
 Mere words could not do justice to the appreciation We fell toward the
 Sons. On the return trip the Vet
 erans held d meeting and passed a
 vote of thanks to the sons association 1 for it's kindness.
