NO. 34. More Soldiers than at-a-Previous County Reunion. THE WELCOME TO QEN. PAVEY The Anticipations for the Blggeit Reunion Yet Held Were Fully It was the biggest coon ty's big reunions.

Thai's saying a great deal, too, lor the county reunions held at Samner always look like- district affairs. Bat there was a larger crowd ou the seconc day and mote soldiers than at the big day of a previous coffiity reunion. Even last year at the county reunion here there were 2211 soldiers to 170 at the district reunion at Lawrenceville. Bat tliia year there was a total oi 220; six veterans of the Civil war and three Spanish war more than the high record of last year. No wuuder then that John W.

Watts Post--that is. nil of Snninar, for pretty ulrla on the The "Philippine Wild Man" is said to bavp struck for higher wages on account of his den and chains being uncomfortable. "Bosco," the woman snake-charmer, half-human, half-reptile, made a pretty good-looking man when he got on clti- ien'8 clothes Friday evening. What a speaker and his audience think of each other cannot be told one by the other when several women on the front bench hoist up umbrellas. Mayor C.

While this was supposed to be a Lawrence county soldiers' reunion, very few people, or soldiers, either, from the east side of the count; were present. a inner always gets a crowd any way. What would a reunion be for the children without a merry-go-round? One small boy remarked confidingly to the PBESH that- he "wished the merry- go-ronnd would stay here--oh! a hundred youra!" -L JBI Rooey Wm Shepherd Wm UauRhiui Geo Woods Vincent Piper 8 SlolU Kwiler John Blaming- Biilrd i 8 Uealcy Uennloy Una Lnmott Illglifleld slmon smith 1 HBuuu Tttnqaary Jacob Michael Theodore Piper David McElfrwh XV Pnvey Tanquuy 1) Branson Jones Wm Kenuelpp Burnett John Mnlllor- Xuflklger Young John Holloway Treadwuy Jewe llunon Kronemlller ThoB stone Markman John Uavls UP Hamper A A I I 1 1 I 1 I OM- BM (Hth (Ulh Wtb with TM ttth fltth Man 6Mb TOtu roth TDtb TUth 70th 7Mb Wth BlBt 9l6t BlBt tflst --MM 1) Wth 9Tth 1 A --l- llttUi llilh 115th 115th 115th 118th -JSQUi William Adam Price, the sixth child in a family of eight--four boyaaud four girls--of James and Margaret Price, was born iu Lukin township, Lawrence county, April 24, 1886.
