The ENCANPMENT.
More Discussions of the Date at
Which It Should Be Held.
THEY WANT IT HELD IN SEPTEMBER.

To THE EDITOR: During the war we were
compelled to drill, march, fight, at the beck and
call of higher powers. But for an Encampment
the boys in blue ought to have a voice IN the
matter, and we, the undersigned, wish to give
as our choice of time the 1st of September.
There may be fewer flowers for buttonhole
boquets. but we prefer to taste the fruits rather
than smell the t1owers.-Alex. Organ, Co. III, 9Th

To THE EDITOR: see and hear so much
said about the time our Encampment should
be held. Please let me say, September would
be my choice, and of all with whom l have
talked, of which the largest percentage are
farmers. Amy time earlier would not answer for
the farmer. So. Mr.. Editor, please use your
influence for September. l want to go, and so
do many of us farmers, and no other time
would suit us as well.-LEvI ZINsER Ell Paso,
