R. C. societies have afforded opportuni-
ties for better acquaintance, and our peo-
pie have found many noble qualities in
their neighbors before unknown. "Tis
easier taking hold hands" seems to be
the new motto, and this Spring shows
the plants of generosity firmly rooted.
A correspondent from Cedarville
writes: The Grand Army supper and
ball on the26, was highly successful. The
Kirwin Cornet Band furnished the music
and the attendance from distance, more
especially from Kirwin, was large. OF
course, everybody in Cedarville and
vicinity was there. The receipts were
satisfactory, leaving considerable fund
in the treasury of the Post.

of Veterans gave another of their enjoy.
able dances last eve, at the hall of Lin.
coin Post, with about fifty couple present
This dance was given for the benefit OF
the Women's Relief Corps, and the Sons

ESQ.,, has offered Salina Post, G. A. R.,

Hutchinson Ne,us: Frank Martin de-
lighted a fine audience last Monday
night at the opera house, with bis various
renditions and delineations of character.
It is seldom we have an exhibition of
this kind, and are glad to note that it
was appreciated. The G. A. r. deserve
thanks for the part they took in the
matter. Mr.. Martin, in company with
Mr.. Medberry, visited the public schools
and delighted the scholars with q few
selections. We are glad to have met Mr..
Martin, and can promise him fine turn
out whenever he gives us an exhibition.
A correspondent in Crow, Phillips
county writes: On Wednesday, last,
there was a meeting of old soldiersat the
Crow school house for the purpose of
organizing G. A. B. post. Theo. David
son was chosen temporary chairman,
Isaac Dixon secretary. The question was
discussed at some length by several
speakers, and all present expressed their
willingness to join. A committee on
finances and organization was selected,
and it was resolved to hold another
meeting on Saturday, April IL, to arrange
for permanent organization. 1t seems
that such project is feasible al there
are many old soldiers in this vicinity.
Sabetha Herald: The social given by
members of the w. R. c. at the G. A. r.
hall, last Thursday evening was a very
enjoyable affair. The Spy of Atlanta
company was drillingcn the stage, while
the ladies were entertaining their friends
in front of the curtain. At o'clock,
Captain Dobbs announced an intermis-
sion and all went to the tables and par
took of the good things there prepared.
During the evening, both Commander
Fulton and ex-Commander Price were
the recipients of beautiful presents from
their w. R. G. admirers. Mrs Sweet was
also remembered in an elegant silver
service, for her loyalty to her friends and
the order.
Smith Center Bulletin: The dance and
supper given by the G. A. r. of Gaylord,
Friday evening, in the new skating rink,
despite the stormy night, was grand
success. The very severe snow storm
prevented great many from attending
who would otherwise have been present,
but as it was there were only about 800
in attendance. The supper was prepared
by B. Jacobs, in the upper story, where
table one hundred feet long was spread
with delicious supper, and as it was an
old soldier arrangement the regular
"army beau" was not missing, but was
served up in the most approved manner.
The dance which was given in the rink,
or lower room, was a very pleasant af-
fair.
Gaylord Herald: The Grand Army sup
per and ball at the rink last Friday night
was not as largely attended as it would
have been had the weather been favora-
BILE. At about five o'clock in the after
noon snow began to fall and continued
to fall fast and furiously until about
eight o'clock, Notwithstanding which
fact considerable crowd assembled and
dancing commenced in the lower hall at
an early hour. The supper was spread
in the second story and was gotten up in
elegant style by Mr.. Ben. Jacobs, the
proprietor of the famous Market Restau-
onT ousn a ha se oGua aa ns h e
and highly satisfactory to all

was expected. As it was, the receipts
paid all expenses and left small fund
in the treasury of the Post.
