Richard Pompeii: The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie of Gratiot County held its second annual Re-
union at Alma Sept IL, lis, and 10, and to say that
| the occasion was enjoyable would be putting it
too mildly. The different Posts of the County
present were as follows: Ithaca. Alma, st. Louis,
Elm Hail. RiverdaIe, and the Salt River Post of
Isabella County. President w. s. Turck acquitted
himself in a satisfactory manner during the past
year and at the close of his administration the
Hon. Giles T. Browne of ithaca, was elected Presi-
dent for the ensuing year, and we may hope that
as years go by each Reunion will be attended with
better results.

| lows: Many comrades of this Department write to
the Department Commander, stating their grlev-

| comrades having business with the Headquarters
will address their communications to the Assistant
AdjuIant General. Many of the Posts of this De-
partment still continue to sell badges to comrades
| The Post bylaws should be changed, and muster
fee made sufficient to include badge, which should
be given the recruit upon being mustered. Each
Post should at once see that every comrsde has a
copy of the Rules and Regulations of the Order and
| every conirade should become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the rules and regulations Of the Or
der. My attention has been called to the work
done by the loyal ladies of our State and other

Jersey they are materially aiding the Posts to

morally There are two separate and distant or
ganizations in this Depariment-the Loyal Ladies'
