MICHIGAN.

A comrade as Portland Mich, writes that the
name of Dresser Post, No. 100, Department. of
Michigan, located at Lyons,-D. G. Crawford,
Communicating mention in THE tribune
no more frequently than it deserves, or than
the " good of the Order" requires. The truth
is Dresser Post is, in all respects model. whose
example is an inspiring force in all the s,lr-
rounding country. Fully possessed of the spirit
OF the Order and alive to its interests, no OPP
portnnity is lost of promoting the one or fur
thering the other; the result of course is tho
general leayening of the public mind with the
same spirit, encouraging the boys and stimu-
latng them to renewed zeal and fidelity in
the good work.
John McGarragh Pest No 1872, located at
Portland, already under obligations for previ-
GUS favor, are the latest recipients of Dresser
generosity, the occasion being tho anniversary
celebration of our National Independence at
Portland, participated in by Dresser Post,
mainly at the expense of its own members.
1t is proposed not only TO repay Dresser Post
III kind, but TO see to it that III due time his
tory of it's first year of toll and triumph is
published in The TRIBUNE as a worthy ex-
ample of the Order at large.

clusively to Comrades Joseph NJ. Smith, Henry
Snyder, and George 2. Weisman. 1t was
named in honor of a brave sergeant of COM
pany c, Forty-ffth regiment, Pennsylvania

Comrade Alfred Koch, East Sandy. Pa, writes:
John Koch Post, No. 354, at Nickleville, We
mango county, Pa, was mustered June % with
twenty-six members, by DR.. P. ST. Clair, A. D.
C., assisted by a detail from Maj. w B. Mays
Post, of Franklin, this county. and allow me to
say that a finer body of men than those COM
prising W. B. Mays viii be difficult to find.

and $4,000 men at the end of the year.
The 18th and 5th of July was duly celebrated
at Cherrytree, Pa, by Post No. 40 An enor-
nous crowd was in attendance. Music was
furnished by the Cherrytree cornet band, the
Joliet martial band, and the Eagle martial

O. Hicks and Messrs. German and Kinposts.
Among the features OF the occasion was the
roasting OF an OK.

Mazomanie. Wis, will now start the ball a
rolling. We have No. Post of fifty men,
bers, and can muster over thirty at meetings.
not at all bad showing for the summer months
in an agricultural district. / am pleased to see
large number of TRIBUNEs circulating among
the comrades, and hope to be able to increase
the number soon. Your account of our Memorial
Iizy services was well received here Last
week A. r. Mcdonald Post voted to have a
grand Reunion of ex-soldiers and sailors at
Mazomanie the latter week in August or first
week in September the date to be settled at
next meeting of the Post. The Post propose to
make this Reunion eclipse that of 1879, if posi-
bic, and that was declared by all who attended
to have been the most enjoyable affair of the
kind held in the West. Every old soldier and
sailor has an invitation, and will find Camp
q. r. Mcdonald ready to welcome him.
Commander VIM. Nuttall. Oakdale, Wis,
writes that by resolutions of Judson Fitzpatrick
Post, No. 20, he has been chosen TRIBUNE CORE
spondent This Post was organized one year
ago with twenty-one charter members but as
many of its members have left for other Sec
tions of our country during the past year, it
to-day numbers only seventeen in good stand

we were one hundred strong The boys intend
to have series of ice cream festivals during
the summer to obtain flag.

OHIO.

18th West Va. Y. T." London; Ohio sends
us an 1nte sting letter, which contains the
following: Our Post has ninety members mus
tered and twenty-five applications OH file We
think that all the applicants viii be on hand at
the next meeting so that they can take mart
in the grand Reunion at Columbus, on the 9th
We intend to go in a body and take brass
band. We VIII unite with the Posts at South
Charleston and Cedarville, and they viii take
their own band also. The little Miami Rail-
road will furnish us a train from Xenia, SO that
we viii reach Columbus OF 8 o'clock a. M, and
leave at IL O'Clock p. m. The Commander of
our Post was offered a pass for himselfand wife
TO the National Encampment at Denver and re-
turn, in private car but he declined it on the
ground that some of the old boys of his reei-
ment would be at Columbus and it might be
the last chance he would have of seeing them
this side of the grand review in the other
world. Snch acts as that arc not common and
it goes to help our faith in the ties and friend
ships that were formed when man could not
count on the next day.

There Is only one person in the entire eOmmu-

escape the draft; so I am told by old residents.
The last man to receive 4 pension here has been
unable to perform manual labor for years, and
his wife has done much TO support the family
by washing.
To conclude, we have received circulars from
several papers asking our assistance, but as
much as we would like to assist all, we are Of
the opinion that THE TRIBUNE is worthy the
support of every soldier, and can do more good
by making it power than by dividing among
SO many publications. Much is being said
about publishing the names of pensioners. Let
me give the names of some men who have died
here since my residence, who were entitled, but
never applied: George Scovil, who died of dis
ease contracted in the service of his country.
