Waterville TsJsgraph: The Post Of the
@. A. r. here has been rather unfOrtu-
nate in It's entertainments financially,
and we think have invariably lost money
in their entertainments. This has not
been the fault Of their committees, nor
do we think it has been caused by a
lack of interest on the part of the pub
lie, for we all recognize that their aim is
to relieve the suffering Of the wards OF
! the Nation, and a great deal Of silent
charity has been done by them. The
/ Post has been trying to raise money to
erect a monument in the cemetary by
the next memorial day. We hope bet
! ter success will attend future efforts, and
we know that our citizens, who have al
ways been generous with the benevO-
| lent societies here, cOncede that this as
ISOLATION Of veterans has perhaps the
strongest claim upon the public Of any
Of our numerous organizations.
