The following, in regard to tho reunion of tho veterans at Parkerville on the 7th, wo rcproduco from the Republican The reunion of the veterans of Morris county, at Purknrville, on Friday last, was quite well attended, there being lrom 700 to BOO people on the ground. An excursion train ot two coaches, comfortably filled with Council Grove people and the Arion band, left the Missouri Paciflo dopot at 0 a. m. The run was made to Parkerville without Incident. Arriving there our detachment was warmly welcomod by tho citizens, and escorted to the beautiful park, where speaker's stand and seutt had been erected.

Thcro was a fair sprinkling of residents of Farkcrvlllo and vicinity already on the ground, und it was not long before the people from a greater distance began to arrive. Our band boys enlivened the occasion with inspiring tunes, which helped materially to keep the gathering crowd in good spirits. Shortly after our arrival the White City brass band put in an appearance and divided the time with tho Arions in rendering some excellent music. The White City band is a comparatively new organization, plays well and will "get there" in the "sweet subsequently." Comrade A. Barker, who is one of the most ubiquitous personages at local Q.

R. assemblies, was Boon on the rostrum, nnd after a few introductory remarks began to fire a speech into the crowd. Tho boys were rendy for anything, and as the comrade is a good talker, and needs only to be tapped at sho'rt intervals for speeches ad libitum, they guve ear to his remarks and encouraged him on with hearty ap-pluuse. In the mean time the Arion band and a squad of members of tho G. A.

filed oil' to tho depot to meet the incoming passenger train which was carrying Capt. J. B. Johnson, of Topeka, to the scene. In about thirty minutes the band came marching proudly back escorting Captain Johnson, one of the most eloquent and brilliuut orators in the state.

In the interval before tho dinnor hour Capt. Johnson was introduced to many of the old soldiers present, und met a number of old acquain Tho road overseer has repaired the Clairy creek bridge. 4.

Johnson was trying to howl down a Kansas zephyr that was blowing at the rate of forty miles an hour. The Captain did manfully for some time and kept just a throat-latch a head of the wind; but when he turned dowu the home stretch from "lastly," he got beautifully left, the zephyr fairly whizzing in under the wire, delivering tho Captain's closing E-afs and Caps.

The speaker was listened to with the closest attention and heartily applauded. Captuiu Johnson knows how to talk to the old veterans, and his telling sentences found a hearty response in every veteran's heart. After the Bpcuking there was more music, and a glee club imitated the speaker's example of trying to make progress in the wind, but was hopelessly distanced. The gale seemed to help the band boys, who kept the miiBic going lively, A. Barker came to the front toward the lust ami talked for sometime.

He was followed by 11. S. Day, who told the history of an old tattered battln-flag that adorned the platform. It wub the flag ol his old company, and was presented by the ladies of his old home when the company was organized. Afterwards the company was made the color guard and carried the colors of the regiment.

They bore this old flag until it was riddled and torn and the staff shot in two. Then the government gave them a stand of colors. The old flag still belongs to the regimental organization and was borrowed by Mr. Day for the occasion. It was the flag under which he and his comrades had marched.

There were many pleasant incidents and nothing occurred, except the weather, to mar the pleasures of the occasion. Toward evening the Council Grove contingent charged on Comrade Provine's lunch basket and demolished the contents no lives lost. Numbers were present from White City, Dwight and Wilsey.
