MEXICO RULING TOPIC
And the Old Fellows Show the Same
ArdOf As In the Days of 81
Many Were the Expressions OF
Disappointment Because They
Were Too Old for Service.

mont infantry G.. A. r., held their
oath annual reunion in Grand Army
hall Tuesday morning and afternoon.
The reunion was the more in evi-
dence coming as it did when the boys
of Co. D were preparing to leave for
the Mexican border.
Many were the comments made by
the old soldiers on the present day
conditions and each and every one ex-
pressed the desire to once more
shoulder the rifle and fight for their
country as they did in 81.

enlisting and the sight of the "Old
Flag so raised their enthusiasm that
they seemed fired with the ardor and
patriotism they must have exhibited
when starting for the front over so
years ago.
