Fort Scott Tribune: Several members
of the G. A. r. are securing complete and
very handsomely framed certificates Of
membership, which are now being fur
nished by Adjutant Daniel Todd. In ad-
dition to being thing of beauty and JOY
forever, it furnishes facilities for keeping
a complete record of the soldiers life
and services. Thereon can be recorded
his name, post, department, when and
where enlisted, when and why dis
charged, his rank, company, regiment,
and the number Of engagement in which
he participated. 1t is truly handsome
design.
Thomas WEIGH, an old soldier and q
respectable citizen of Winfield, was &C.
cidentaliy shot and killed by Charles
Skinner on last Sunday morning. -Four
men occupied one room. Skinner and
his bedtellow had just got up and were
cleaning up the room, WEIGH and his
bedmate still lying in bed. Skinner
picked up two revolvers to move them
from where they were lying when one OF
them went off, striking Welch and caus-
ing instant death. Deceased was a men,
Der of Winfield Post, &. A. T., whose
members took charge of the body and
conducted the funeral.
Fort Scott Tribune: Referring to the
State Encampment of &. A. f., which
has been called to meet in this city, the
lola COurant remarks: IAN effort was
made to induce the Department Com
nander of the G. A. 4. for Kansas, to
call the next meeting of the Encamp-
ment at Topeka during the meeting OF
the Legislature. Commander Pond has
decided, and wisely, We think, not to do
so, and has called the Encampment to
meet at Fort Scott on March ~, IL and
II next. If delegates to the Encamp-
ment have not interest enough in the Or
ganization to attend it's meeting unless
they can take in the Legislature as a
side show they ought to stay at home.
We think Commander Pond deserves
credit for calling the meeting at time
and place where there will be nothing
special to interfere with the regular bus
mess of the Encampment. Then there is
not more appropriate place in the State
for such meeting than Fort Scott, and
it is but Just that Southern Kansas should
be remembered"
