Volunteer Automobiles Wanted
to Take Veterans Over City.
The 114th O. V. I. will hold its reunion here at G. A. R. hall Tuesday and in the evening there will be a campfire in the auditorium to which everybody is invited and excellent program will be rendered.
There are between 40 and 50 members of this regiment who will be in attendance and it has been decided to give these old veterans an opportunity to see the city and enjoy an automobile ride if enough volunteers with machines can be enlisted, so John Fishbaugh, president of the organization has set about to secure these machines and asks all owners of automobiles who will turn out with their machines to report to Will D. Bauman at 2 p.m. at G. A. R. hall on Tuesday afternoon.
