9. AR. Camp Fire During Co. Fair.

EDITORS HERALD: At Especial meet
ing of d. 0. G. Ord Post, No. 90, G. A.
H., it was resolved that we would have
a Grand Soldiers Reunion and Camp
Fire during the Fair at Washington
Springs, Oct. IA, 10 and Is, and for that
purpose a general invitation is given to
all Posts throughout the country and
all old soldiers to join us and help make
it a pleasant, merry and happy time
with music, songs and short speeches.
All who have musical instruments and
tents are requested to bring them along
and not forget to bring their families
and neighbors. Committees of ar
engagements were appointed to procure
tents, to procure hard-tack and other
rations and to select and prepare the
ground, etc. 1t was also resolved that
Capt. Lucas and the Drummer Boy of
the Rappahannock, of Chamberlain, d.
T., be especially requested to be present
and entertain us by speech, song and
music, and comrade II. A. Miller was
appointed a committee Of ore to make
such special request.
When the life Of our nation was
threatened by the enemies Of a peoples
government, the soldier left all that
was near and dear to him on earth to
face death by all the most ingenious
and destructive weapons the mind of
man could invent, to save this a free
mans government for the inheritance
Of American citizens, since which time
necessity has scattered us far fromthose
with whom it became u lot to act in
those hours Of peril.
There is a tie that binds kindred
hearts, the strongest Of which it was
ours to know, to offer ur lives q sacri-
flee in a common cause to save our
country from the ruthless hand of ty-
rants that others might enjoy their
freedom.
Can we not now leave our work for a
few hours and come together in remem-
brance Of those times Of anxiety and
danger, rekindle the friendship of old
soldiers, once more join around the
camp fire as Of old and make the hours
Of n more night yibrate with such
music as we used to hear way down in
Dixie. Comrades, time and disease are
wearing hard on us and some will never
have another opportunity to meet again,
do not neglect this opportunity.
II. G. STEPHENS,
G. w. HILL, Commander.
Post Adjutant.
Papers Of Jerauld Co. and all friendly
to the soldier in adjoining counties are
requested to copy.

Gen. Grants Opinion.

New York special, II: Ex-President
Vs.. Grant says: "The letter of accept
ance written by Mr.. Blaine is a docu-
ment in which all republicans should
take a great deal of pride. I have read
1t over carefully, and l regard it as one
OF the most remarkable political papers
ever written. 1t is like the writer,
frank and open. l do not regard it as
too long, as he could not have so thor
oughly covered the questions which all
overs of our country are interested In
SO deeply in ashorter one. Its beyond
doubt Il of the ablest papers ever Civ
en- to the public"

All the Eggs in One Basket.

"
We do not believe in it. The eggs
may all be Of excellent quality, and the
basket strong and large enough to hold
them, and yet we think it unwise to
risk them all at once. There are many
chances which o farmer must take, but
he is rarely warranted in hazarding his
present comforts in the hope of great
gains. A man may invest all his CAPT
tai in hops OF cranberries, or some 9th
er special crop, iand-lose. He may
clog all tho machinery of his farm ope-
rations, by going largely into grape
growing, when he might better: have
kept TO his wheat, Farmers have been
sold cut by the sheriff becausethe horses
possessed tco much speed, and tho race
track had greater destinations thanth
corn-field. Some men run, all to cider,
have a mill to make it, and that is all
they make. Others raise only hay, and
sell it Of the farm, Their eggs are all
in one basket. Mixed h%usbandry, and
not specialties, for American farmers
wins in the long run,-American Agri-
culturiSt.

Take a Stand.

II temperance men would take a stand,
And show their true position,
Nor yield q point tc friend Or foe,
Or scheming politician;
If they would fight for principle,
For justice and for right,
And whatso'er they find to do,
Would do it with their might,
Our land which now is so corrupt
That all good men abhor it,
Might lift her trailing banner up
And be the better for it.
If those for whom we cast our vote
Would not so Oft betray us,
And, weakly shrinking from their trust:
On errors side array US;
II they would only bravely stand
And face the willy foe,
And in each point of right or wrong
Say firmly yea or no,
Our land which now is SO corrupt
That all good men abhoE it,
Might lift her trailing banner up,
And surely be better for it.-Christian StaGes
man.
