KENTUCKY.

Comrade E. A. TT. Reyland historian of the
Department of Kentucky, and also of Garfield
Post, No. 2, Covington, KY, writes us that the
this month with Nelson Post, No. 1, at New
port, and Garfield Post, No. 9, at Covington,
now has increased to thirteen good, healthy
Posts. The fact that Tennessee has been made
an adjunct to the Department is high COM
pliment. The recent impetus given to the
Order is due. in a large measure, to the zeal
and energy of Department Commander James
c. Niche and the Department officers. Gar
field Post started with twenty-one charter
members. and now has fortyleight, and two
applications at the adjutant's desk. The COM
rades intended holding Campfire on Febru-
ary 22d, to which the ladies were to have been
invited, but were prevented by the floods.
Soon theySwill have uniforms, and now have
equipments-a gift from noble and loyal ladies.
The last application for a Post charter, with
twenty-six signers, came from Maysville.
Nelson Post, No. l. of Newport has appar-
emily suffered more than any other from the
late flood About one-fourth of their member
ship have lost household goods, fuel, &c, and
others have been damaged to a considerable
extent. Among those who have shown their
comradeship in this emergency may be men
toned Pittsburg comrades, who sent dOna-
tion of $50 to the sufferers.
Thomas Post, of Louisville, KY, is going to
have big Campfire in few days, to which
the Department of Kentucky has been invited.
They will wake up Louisville, and make Wat
terson howl.
