ANNIYEESABY EEUMON.

Glorious Re-TJnion of Oo. Bj Tenth Indi" ana RegimentOn the 19tli of Jon. at the residenoe of Jacob Swank miles northwest of the city, there was a most hoppy and long to be remembered gathering of the survivors of Co. B, 10th Ind., Vol. luit. It was the 2'Jtli anniversary of the battle of Mill Springs, one of the earliest Union victories of the war and the first battle in which the 10th Indiana was engaged. In celebration of this victory Co. B, held its first annual reunion. The house was neatly decorated with flags and arranged on the wall in an arch were the large gilt letters of "Welcome Co. B." The forenoon was taken up in reception of comrades and their wives and in telling jokes and incidents of the battle of Mill Springs. At 12 o'olook the dinner room door was thrown open, revealing a long table loaded to its utmost capaoity with good things. The veterans were invited to come and with General Manson in the lead they filed out with as much promptness and firmness as when they advanced with their brave General against the rebel General Zollicoffer at Mill Springe. The General took his place at the head of the table in front of the picture of Gen. Grant that was beautifully decorated with Hags and the Burvivors of Co. B, arranged themselves along the sides of the table. At a word of command they began their attack upon the goodly viands with as much order as they did upon the Johnnies 29 years ago. Judging from the manner of the comrades around the table which was well loaded with the well prepared products of the farm, garden and orchard of their comrade and host, we are safe in saying that they fully appreciated the efforts of the hostess, Mrs, Swank. After a short walk after dinner the company again assembled in the house and proceeded to organize itself into a permanent organization. Joseph MoDaniel was elected President and Wm. A. Swank, son of Jacob Swank, was appointed Secretary, after which the time was taken up in short speeches and the relation of war reminiscences. Comrade Kelsey said, that he as a lad of 16 years was greatly impressed with the battle of Mill Springs. It was before he had had his breakfast when the long roll sounded for them to fall in and prepare to fight. As he was a young fellow he thought he knew a great deal and that they would just go out and thrash the Johnnies and then come back and have breakfast, as he thought at that time of the firing on the pickets and long roll as merely a breakfast bell. But before I returned to camp again I thought it more than a breakfast bell. It was the bell that rang the death knell to many of our gallant company and regiment.

Comrade Swank related how peculiar the sound of bullets was to him when they whizzeu post with a zipp, zipp z-i-pp, and his feelings when he saw two comrades fall by liis side.

Comrade Wert said that the most interesting thing he could Bay was to read a letter he had written to hiB father three days after the battle in which he had given a description and a few incidents of the fight. Our company had been led out in on open place and about 900 yards away, across a de°p ravine, the line of the enemy could be plainly seen, 'iheii it was that company received its first command in battle. It was given by Lieut. Goben. "Raise your sights for 900 yards and give them hell boys." And Gen. Manson's first command to the regimant was "aim low bojs and shoot them in the legs." But as the rebels advanced and began firing harder and harder we thought we were getting just what we were told to give them.

Comrades Stubbins, Day and others also related equal interesting incidents. Then Gen. Manson followed in a brief speech. He said that it gave him great pleasure to meet with company again alter 29 years, a number of years that is long, both to the individual man and to company B, and a period in which great changes have been wrought in our country. Early in December he came to Campbellsville, Ky., which was a few miles from Mill Springs. After staying there a •frhile the march was taken up to Mill Springs wliere Zollicoll'er was in winter quarters, while on the march he passed a smith kane, who was selling a "peouliar" kind of liquid called "apple jaok." He bought a gallon and Judge Harlan bought a gallon and the night before the battle was one to be remembered by them for this "peouliar liquid" had a wonderful power. The result was ou the morning of the battle that they felt very badly and was some what surprised when he heard shots being fired upon his picket line. He ordered out the 10th Indiana and advanced toward the enemy. As he beheld the long line of glittering bayonets of the rebels it appeared to him as both a beautiful and awful sight.

After relating several thrilling and laughable stories the General paid a beautiful tribute to the survivors and the fallen heroes by saying "as long as the beautiful Cumberland shall rush out into the Ohio and the Ohio into the

,x

1

Mississippi and the Mississippi into the Gulf and the Gulf into the broad and beautiful ocean, so long shall their names be written on the scroll of fame.'

He also spoke upon pensions and trusted that his life might be spared to Bee every honorably discharged soldier of the war of the rebellion receive a pension. Before concluding he said: "I have a pleasant duty to perform." A beautiful gold headed cane was handed at this moment to the General by a comrade standing by him. He continued: "Comrade Swank, I have been selected by Co. to present you with this oane as a token of their appreciation oild remembrances of your kindness in calling them to this reunion."

Comrad- Swank with much feeling re sponded in a brief speech thanking them for the honor they paid him in presenting him with suoh a beautiful present and saying no doubt but that it would be regarded by him as the greatest token in his life. He regretted that there were some of the company whose postoffioe address he could not get and therefore could not send them word of the reunion.

After agreeing to have a reunion every year at the residence of one of the members, Joseph McDaniel extended a cordial invitation to the survivors of Co. to attend with their wives and children at his residence in Crawfordsville on the 19th of January, 1892, the second annual reunion of Co. B. After bidding each other goodbye they took their leave, feeling that the 19 th of January, 1891, would be looked back upon with pleasaut memories. The following are the names of Co. that were present with their respective ages and postoffioe address:

W. K. Harris, 59, Crawfordsviile. A. C. Switzer, 50, Wesley. L. N. Hance, 55, Crawfordsviile. Wm. Stonebrakei', £1, Alamo. Sam Nicholson, 53, Crawfordsviile. Elihu Nicholson, 51, Crawfoi'deville. W. H. Day, 52, New Market. Jos. McDaniel, 51, Crawfordsviile. M. Y. Wert, 51, Crawfordsviile. J. A. Moore, 50, Crawfordsviile. Jos. Stubbins, 49, Yountsville. W. H. Custer, 49, Darlington. Thomas Kelsey, 45, Darlington. Jacob Swank, 48, Crawfordsviile. Among the invited guests present were M. D. Manson, Col. 10th Reg., Crawfordsviile Gilbert Gray, Co. F. 10th Reg., New Ross, and Thomas Steele, Co. G, 10th Reg., Romney.

A Word From Goal Greek About Gravel Roads. To the hditor of The Journal:

We would not argue a moment the benefit of, or the necessity for, gravel roads. They, when rightly built, will make our township seoond to none in the county. We have realized some time ago that an old settler on Bristle Ridge was mistaken when he said a few years ago, "That there is no gravel in Coal Creek township." Good gravel is found in most every part of the township, and the people reoently have manifested great enthusiasm in graveling the roads, and they are to be commended for it. Hard work usually pays. Much gravel has been hauled this winter, and it is about new gravel roads that we wish to speak. New gravel is dumped in the middle of the grade and usually left in a narrow high ridge, which is both inconvenient and dangerous, neither is there need of, or reason for leaving it in suoh a condition. The reason assigned is, the giavel will spread sufficiently. It may, but probably after a number of vehicles have upset, bonjs been broken and teams run away, none of which is either pleasant or profitable. The gravel should be spread sufficiently to level the road in a condition that teams may pass conveniently without danger, and it will make abetter road than to leave it in a narrow heap. Take for an example the Crawfordsviile road running from Wingate, tho new gravel is high and narrow. We know of one buggy that turned over on this road, of a man who was thrown from the top of a loaded wagon and severely hurt, and others who fear to pass over the road at night and it is nearly impossible for teams to pass yet this is a sample of the new gravel roads generally. It is neither economy nor good judgment to leave the road in suoh a condition, when a little work would leave it both convenient and comfortable, and make it a better road. Let us have it. Y.

Ordination Oeremony-

At the Christian church January 21 the oeremony of ordination was performed in the presence of a large audience. The candidates were J. H. Shuey and A. B. Cunningham. A sermon of ordination was preached by W. S. Brown, of Logansport, in whioh he cited Apostolio authority for the oeremony and gave reasons why it was a necessary oeremony for the protection of the ohurch against interlopers, whose only object was the making of money. The sermon was made up in the main of Scriptural allusions to the ordination

At the close of the sermon the candidates stood before the altar while the charge to them was delivered by J. C. Barnliill. it was the solemn charge of Paul to Timothy, and words of the great apostle to those set apart for the preaching of the Word. The candidates then stepped to the edge of the platform and the hands of the elders were placed upon their heads. Elders Barnhill and Booe on the right, their hands upon the head of Mr. Cunningham, Elders Mof fett and Nicholson upon the left, their hands upon the head of Mr. Shuey. Between and with a hand upon the head of each candidateMr.Brown offered a solemn prayer, the audience stand ing. The services closed by singing the doxology.

The ceremony is void of all pomp and show, plain and simple but solemn and the charge delivered to those two young men last evening if obeyed and lived up to, will make them grand and useful men to their church and to the world.
