y. " c." Kasson: Burnside Post No. g. Has
son, Dodge County, has a drum corps, composed
of boys from l3 to II years of age While the ques
ton How to procure the neediul to pay for drums
and equipments for these patriotic and worthy sons
of worthy sres was pnzzling the brain OF our
worthy Quartermaster, the boys took the matter
into their own hands, and right nobly have they
succeeded. Enlisting the aid of their sisters of
nearly the same age, Broom Brigade was organ
lied, and they have just given us an entertainment
said by Oldest inhabitants 10 surpass anything
of the kind ever witnessed in Kassom. We believe
il. The boys and girls performed their parts admir-
ably, and received rounds of applause from large
and apprecativc audience The military evolu-
tons and manual of arms were executed with a
precision not surpassed by our best drilled troops
The martial music and patriotic songs thrilled our
hearts and reminded us of scenes never to be for
gotten; but sometimes the campfire burns low, and
needs little fuel to brighten the memory, Our
boys are made of the right stuff. The nantes of
their fathers have fallen upon them, and if we mis-
take not they will be heard from at our State En-
campment this season. Net proceeds of the above
entertainment was Sll3.32.
