C. Hall, gallant soldier who gave his life for
his country. We started with fifteen charter
members, since which time we have more than
doubled in number and We have an active
working class of comrades We have a nice
hall for our meetings called " Memorial Hail."
The funds for building the hall were raised by
public meetings and were originally intended
for the erection of monument, but by wise
legislation they were invested in this building
which is built of brick aud is % Y so feet The
walls inside, on three sides, are decorated with
marble slabs or tablets, on which are insert bed
the names of all soldiers who died from this
town. Certainly this building, thus arrayed
is an honor to the memory of our dead, and
also of much benefit TO all survivors and their
friends. We raised pole eighty feet high a
few days ago, and in order to secure funds for
a flag and also to furnish our hall, we gave
public entertainment, Thursday evening
June 2lst. Multitudes were turned away, not
being able to gain admittance Rev. George
Strut, of Dalton, recently from England
opened with few center Shots which captured
the outposts, followed by Comrade Augustus
Harrington, of Warsaw, N. Y, who made US
think of olden times on the march. Then
Comrade ]. Sam. johnson, district attorney of
Wyoming, gave synopsis of his journey South
in May last, and his visits TO various cemeteries
in which lie the bones of thousands of the
flower of our country. His speech was ap-
preciated by an attentive audience. The
Nunda Fire Company, under their leader and
master spirit, o. H. Cook. added very much to
the interest of the occasion. The Hunts cor
nett band rendered some fine music. After
the exercises, supper was served by members of
the G. A. E., assisted by the ladies.
