OLD SETTLERS REUNION A reunion of the old settlers of Grant county will be held on the Gila river, at the McMillen crossing, August 21st, at which it is earnestly requested that all the old settlers of Grant county will be present. The committee of reception, appointed by the citizens of the Gila, is making extensive preparations to receive and entertain a big crowd. A grand barbecue will be spread, and no pains or expense spared to supply the inner-man with all that can be desired to quench the thirst and satisfy the cravings of a New Mexico appetite. The Silver City band has been engaged for the occasion, while many prominent old settlers have been put down for speeches. Let the old settlers from all over the county turn out, and have a jolly, good time.
