VETERANS HOLD MEETING.

VETERANS HOLD MEETING.
The Delaware County Veterans as
sociation met at Manchester Thursday,
September goth, but did not attempt
to carry out the program as published
in the papers of the county, on ac-
count of the cold, cloudy, threatening
weather. The heavy rain of Wednes-
day made the roads so muddy that no
veterans came from distance with
autos. All who came from distance
came by train. The members of the
Post agreed at our last meeting to
meet at the Post room in the court
house at 9 a. m. and go to the fair
grounds at . the appointed hour of
1890. We decided that we could not
be comfortable on the fair grounds
that cold, cloudy day, so we changed
our plan and made our business head
quarters in the Post room, our dinner
in the Woman's Relief Corps hall and
the exercises of the afternoon in the
court room.
We failed to get the notice OF the
change of program to all the veterans
in the city, even, so not all registered
who would have done SO but for the
change Of program.
