The Grand Army reunion in Columbus last week was one of the greatest in recent years. It is estimated that there were about 75,000 soldiers of the civil war in attendance, daughters, sons, or grandchildren. Many of them had their wives along, and they were generally spry enough to take good care of the old veterans. Many world war soldiers also attended them. About ten thousand of the veterans felt themselves able to join in the parade of Wednesday morning although it was raining. The feature that pleased the old soldiers most, was the clouds of young Boy Scouts in attendance on them everywhere anticipating their wants. The Scouts carried stretchers with forces enough to carry any soldier who might become exhausted, to an ambulance fully equipped and moving along in the parade, with a doctor and two nurses in each. Scouts were always saluting the old veterans and asking them if there was anything they could do. And their friendly young faces certainly made a great hit with the visiting veterans. They all went home prasing and promoting the Scout movement. Their friendship, as well as that of the Spanish war veterans and those of the late world war will be a big asset for the Scouts in the future. "A Scout is helpful," is one of the Scout laws that was well observed in Columbus last week. Captain Lafayette HAWK of Sacremento, California who was Captain of Co. F. 224 O.V.I.attended that reunion and is expected here Friday to visit relatives and friends. He is attending the reunion of his regiment at Circleville, today and yesterday. James GILL of Co. K. 50th Illinios Infantry, attended the reunion, and was the guest of his brother, D. C. Gill last week. Out of the 2,800,000 soldiers of the civil war, less than 150,000 still live and their ranks are being depleted by thousands every year. The youngest of them are about 75 years old. The heat of Tuesday was so great that about 78 of the veterans were carried to the hospitals for temporary relief. We are indebted to Barnet HOOK, one of the visiting veterans, for an account of the doings of the Scouts, whose conduct he could not praise too highly and for a description of the line of march. The Ohio vets formed at the corner of Gay and Rich streets, from which they moved to Main then over to High.
