Stale. 1t has thirty three members, and is
gradually growing. The comrades had their
annual Campfire on the 18th ult., which was a

"You up North have the living soldiers of the

On the 2itn February, 1889, George Ii. Thomas
Post, No i, of the Grand Army of the Republic,
was organized in the city of Nashville, Tennessee.
Since that time three other Posts have been mus
tered into service, making four Posts i'll good work
ing condition.
If appears from the constitution and laws govern
ing the Order in the United States that when six
Posts shall have been organized il any State that
they shall bc set oil as separate department, hav
ing proper officers for its government These four
Posts are now attached to the Department of indi-
ana, subject to its orders, and to whom all reports
made.
II is desirable that we shall have our own sepa-
rate Department in Tennessee, hence require the
creation of two or more new Posts.
The object of this circular is to call the attention
of eX-sodierS of the Union army to this want with
a view some more taking upon them
selves the business of calling old soldiers together
and organizing themselves into Post i'll any place,
city town, or village where sufficient number can
be got together for that purpose.

Thomas Poet, No. 13, of Cincinnati, O., to Com
mander NJ. q. Neil, of McUoy Post, No L. of

ing occasiOned by the floods among members of

DEAR SIR AND CoMRADE: Among the sufferers by
the floods III this valley, large number of
rades of Nelson Post, No. /, of Newport, KY, are
left destitute. large part tot that unfortunate little
city has been under water, and IN addition to the
losses by the flood itself of clothing, household
goods and food, in many cases thieves in boats
have supplemented the work OF the waters. While
this side the river the comrades OF Posts T6 l99
200, and 1856 have been sufferers, las also of
those of No 49, we will take care of them; but
comrades across the river, as well those in
Lawrenceburg and Aurora Ind, have needs be-
yond our immediate ability to more than partially
relieve. Our comrades of Haztt Post No. ST. of
GAINESVILLE forwarded us $500, collected by them
which will go To the outlying Posts but think
may he pardoned for presenting to our comrades of
Post No. ], of Ohio the needs OF those of Post No
OF Kentucky, formerly 1874 OF ONO.
Whatever the comrades of Mccoy Post may sup
Fly can he forwarded direct to Comrade w. H.
narton, Newport, KY, If you prefer that it pass
through the hands Of George II. Thomas Post,
Several of our poorer Posts have exhausted their
relief funds, but George H. Thomas fund will be
repenished to help her other comrades SO long as
a dollar remains to O comrade Of Post 13
Yours in f., @. & L., II. NJ. SEcHLER.
