The National tribune., 1885-02-19


Buckly Corps. Akron; for fourth quarter,
Forsyth, Buckly and Wetzel Compton. The
Secretary very properly called the attention of
Corps to the Importance of order and system in
their works and of the adoption of such by
laws as would lead to a complete and perfect
organization. She complimented the majority
of the Corps Presidents upon their promptness
in forwarding quarterly and election returns,
and noted in excessive work and vexation &C.
casioned at Headquarters by the few who
failed in these important particulars Those
who attended the Minneapolis Convention, as
well as the National officers of the past and
present administration, will appreciate Mrs.
Clark's kind allusion to them all in the follow
ing:
Words will not express my thankfulness to the
National officers of the past and present admins
triton for their steady encouragement and kind
advice. 1t was my very great privilege to attend
the National Convention Mt Minneapolis and to
take by the hand the representatives of this wide
spread Order, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
the boundary line of the British Dominion to that
of the Southern States. To Mrs. Kate b. Sherwood,
National President of the WOman's Relief Corps
and Senior Vice-President of last year, shall fail
her, have found her throughout the year kind
adviser and steadfast friend. Her many good
qualities of head and heart have frightened with
the lapse of time and association.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mrs. Clark by
the Convention for her faithful discharge of
the onerous duties devolvng upon her, and
she was elected one of the Delegates to the
National Convention at Portland. We regret
that the report of the Treasurer, Mrs. Ebersole,
is not before u.s. but we learn it was highly
satisfactory, and that Ohio comes out with
handsome margin in the Treasury Mrs. Myers
was colnplimcnted by reelection to the office
of Department President, the roster of Ohio
officers standing as follows:
President, Mrs. Lottie l.. Myers, Canton.
S. V.-P., Mrs. Lydia Morrison, Cincinnati.

Treas Mrs. M. +. Ebersole, Canton.
Inspector, Mrs. Martha Delo, Springfield.

G., Miss Mary Morrison, Akron.
Mrs. Sarah NJ. +. Battels, President of Buck
ley Corps, Akron, was appointed Department
Secretary, and duly installed as such. The
installation was conducted by Miss Emma d.
Sibley, National Secretary. An important
work of the Convention was to reduce the per
capita from 90 to 10 cents quarter. The re-
ception given to the GAR. and W.R.C. by
Buckley Corps was pleasant and enthusiastic,
Mrs. Battels delivering an eloquent address of
welcome. General Order, No. /, has been
issued by Mrs. Myers, and is a model of brevity
and neatness.

The WOman's Relief Corps has received no
higher tribute than from the comrades of Wis
consin, who hardly more than two years ago
strenuOusly refused to recognize any Organiza-
ton rs auxiliary to the GAR, and reluctantly
received the first subordinate Corps. But ut
Madison the organization has not only been
recognized by resolutions aud in the address of
the Department Commander, but $3.50 were APP
propriated for the purchase of a banner, and
the officers installed with those of the G. A. X.
Wisconsin may well go proudly into National
Convention with her banner from the brave
