The daf¥or J,he Old M#et- hij at WaHconda. .huie 23«l, was bright and slear. and just <v>ol enough for comfort, and at an early hour every road leading to Wauconda was throng­ ed with teams, loaded with- men. women and children, all bent on help­ ing the Old Set tiers Re-Une, and hav­ ing a 'regular old fashioned time, and before ten o'clock the handsome little villiige of Wauconda presented a live­ ly appearance. The first thing that claimed one's attention on entering tiie village was the tine display of decorations, all the business houses, hotel, etc., being dee- orated witli Hags, while across the streets at different points were hung beautiful banners, bearing such In­ scriptions as the following: "Welcome to ye Old Settlers.'" "Wauconda Greets You," "Welcome All to Wau­ conda." The Log Cabin, oji the Publjc Square, attracted the attention of all. It was built after the style of "ye olden time," its expense of the district for the use of pupils whose parents ire too poor to furnish them,--JCr. - • ; ' v $QT*A young man employed in the B. & Q lumber yard was missed from his gang about five o'clock Tues­ day evening, and the most careful March failed to reveal his where­ abouts. Next morniH2 he failed to put in an appearance--hut about nine o'clock a car was loaded with lumber for the mill, taking a remnant of a pile, and when the men reached the bottom of the pile, thc.v were aston­ ished to find their comrade slumbering as peacefully as a child. He had crawled beneath this pile of lumber about five o'clock the evening before to indulge in a nap, and after having slept over sixteen hours without in­ terruption, it was found difficult to arouse him. The foreman concluded lie could dispense with his services and sent liimofl to finish his nap.--Beacon. igpTlie Mrs. Caldwell convert of tlie Sentinel, after a few 6lobbering re­ marks about "policy," "principle" and "independent," says: The PLAINDKALKK has no cause nor right to question the Sentinel editors' Republicanism, as thev never "bolted" a nominat ion. Congressional or Coun­ ty--however great a personal defeat or how distasteful it might have been, or whatever"inducements" that mi^lit ha/e been offered. Can tlie" immac­ ulate and staunch PLAINDEALKR say as much and make the people believe it? Now let us see how truthful this re­ ligions individual is. In 1874 Gen. Hurlburt was the regular Republican •nominee for Congress, and while the ^balance of the Republican ticket stood At the head of the Sentinel, General Hurlburt's name failed to appear until about two weeks before tlie election, and all this time, and in fact up to •election day, Farnsworth, the Demo­ cratic uomin«f was receiving the pri­ vate support of the editor of the iS'en- Unel and his "boss." Did this virtuous convert receive any "inducement" then? As regards his slur about Gen. Hurl hurt's last canvass, it is well known that General Hurlburt was rightfully the regular nominee, and therefore the Sentinel, not the PLAIN- DEALER, was the bolter. • We presume there was an "inducement" that caused the editor of the Sentinel to help force that fraud on the 4th District. At the liead of the Sentinel stands the name of tlie "Bread and Butter" editor and a galvanized Democrat. A poor show­ ing to talk about "principle." The PLAINDEALER is and always has been Republican, but we are independent enough not to have a "Bossj" Can the Sentinel truthfully say as much? Tlie 05th RK-UNION. Ninety-fifth Regiment and others interested in the annual re-union met as per call at the Court House on the 18th inst, the President, Col. Avery, in the chair. The Secretary being ab­ sent W. H. Stewart was appointed Secretary protem. September 4th coming on Sunday it was resolved to hold the re-union on Saturday tlie 3d; and at Woodstock. On motion of Capt.

The interior was fur­ nished with ancient relics, many of which would remind one of our grand­ fathers' days. This was, a pleasing feature of the Old Settlers' Meeting, and nearly everyone who was at conda on that day paid the Old Log Cabir. a visit. About 11 o'clock the procession was formed in front of the hotel, and head­ ed by the Wauconda Band, marched to the Grove, where arrangements had been made to accommodate all. Pres­ ident Bangs called the meeting to or­ der and introduced the Rev. .T. L. Brooks, of Wauconda, who delivered the Add ress of Welcome. He spoke of the organization of the Societ)', and in a very neat and well delivered speech, rehearsed the trials of the early set­ tlers. Spoke of the President, J. Bangs, as being the fiist settler of Wauconda, and gave other Interesting facts in relation thereto, which were interesting to botli old and young. His remarks were very interesting throughout and .also appropriate to the occasion. Rev. Rodney Gilbert of Avon, was then introduced, who offered prayer. An adjournment was then taken un­ til 1 o'clock, for .liuner, and this being a very important part of the proceed­ ings, no one made any objections. Those who had brought their baskets were soon spreading their cloths in the beautiful grove, while others partook from the bountiful table of inlne host of the Pratt House. Soon after 1 o'clock the meeting was again called to order and the following speakers were introduced in the order named: J. H. Johnson, of Woodstock Judge B. N. Smith, Woodstock, Hon. Richard Bishop, McIIenry, Hon. E. M. Ilaiues, Waukegan, Lewis H. Bute. Harrington, and John G. Rngan, Wau­ kegan. All these gentlemen gave very interesting addresses, and Were lis­ tened to willi the closr-st attention, but time and space wiH not |M*rinit us to give even a synopsis of their re­ marks, as we would like to do. The speaking was interspersed with singing by the choir, tlie "Old Oaken Bucket" and "Star hpangled Banner"' being rendered iu a beautiful and im­ pressive manner. llo'.> F. K. Granger, of McIIenry, in beiiaif of the Association, In a few well timed remarks presented the Cham­ pion Flag to the town ol Fremont, Lake county, that town bavins: the largest delegation in procession. Tlie Wauconda And Gi lmer Brass Bands , together wi th two Mart ia l Bands , furnished excel lent , mir ic for t l ie occas ion, and done much to enl iven the day. The exercises at the stand being ove r the crowd scattered to enjoy the balance of the day as best suited them, the old settlerscordially greeting each otlser,and rehearsing and living over, as it were, ihe days of old. The crowd was variously estimated at from three to five thousand. We ju dge that four thonsand would be about a fair esti­ mate. The citizens of Wauconda are entit­ led to great praise for the manner in which they entertained tliib large crowd. Eve ry convenience that could be desired was provided, and we have yet to hear of a single instance of dis­ satisfaction. The citizens ol Waucon­ da, one and all, put forth every exer­ tion to make it pleasant for the visi­ tors, and they succeeded, for which thej' have the thanks of the Associa­ tion as well as ail others present. In the evenliig a grand display of Fireworks and a Dance upon the Plat­ form closed the Animal He-Pniou of the Old Settlers Association for 1881. and it will be long remembered with pleasure by those present.
