Humboldt Inter Slate: The G.. A. T

evening, was att nded by the largee
number of our citizens of any gatherin
we nave had for q long time. The OF
chestra was encored; the singing by tn
quartette was well received, and the in
stallation ceremony good. The suppe
was the richest and best, and Col. Smitl
did we'll in his speech for the woman
auxiliary relief corps. The money re
, ceived will be placed in the relief fund
Burlington Independent: The G. A. f
boys had q glorious time at the bean sup

dred and fifty persons were present

was real spot of pleasure to all who at
tended. A move is on foot among th'
boys to give these socials and supper
once every two months. The result Ii
much good to the Grand Army order.
Manhattan Mercury: Was it festival
though? Well the name is of no cnnse
qnence. 1t is sufficient to say that the
eItelt 4inmeLt gwen under the auspices
of the Ladies' r lief Corps of the u. A
R., at their hall lat Saturday evening
was enjoyed by over two hundred per
sons, and resulted in raising nearly $4t
for the relief of the poor and disabled
soldiers and their families. Each lady Of
the corps had supplied box containing
sufficient edibles Tor two persons, and
those were sold to the gentlemen for "a
Gel t, each, " tn tue understanding that
the lady furnishing the package should
share the contents with th-gents. There
| were no blanks drawn-eith-ri in boxes
or ladies-for every box contained all
that three could eat, and each lady en-
teItAined her hot in the most sociable
and pleasing manner. During the even
ing an excellent programme of music
was rendered. All are rejoicing that the
first entertainment of the q. A. R passed
off so successfully, because it is encour-
agement fer fut IRE and like social gather
ings, and we understand there will be q
number more before the season is over
Manhattan Nationalist: Lew Cove
Post Grand Army of the Republic, like
other Grand Army Posts, PROPOSES to
care for the needy soldiers of the late
war. The long cold Winter through
which We have just passed has necessi-
lated unusual calls on the treasury of
this Post, until last week found the funds
exhausted. When the fact be- anne
known to the Manhattan Ladies Relief
Corps-which is auxiliary to the G. A.
r. Post-they proposed a Basket Lunch,
at twenty-five cents, which produced
about $40. Considering the short time
in getting up the entertainment, and the
fact that only few had notice of it, the
ladies may well feel proud of the success
attending their efforts. The Relief Corps
and the G. A. r. boys have done good
work during the cold snap in ministering
to the wants of needy poor, some of whom
were utterly destitute. We understand
they contemplate giving an amateur dra-
matte perfcrmance in the near future. to
further increase their charity fund. We
bespeak for them liberal patronage.
In urging the citizens of Burlingame
to attend the Grand Army of the Re-
public fair the Patriot says: The
Knights of Py thias band will play the
first evening, and the Ottumwa or Leroy
bands probably the second and third
nights, while the bet t.l-nt Of the city
has volunteered to furnish music peril
nent to the occasion. Miss Anna Fischer
will have charge of the post Office de-
partment, and her well-known popularity
is a guarantee the work will be we'll done.
Prof. J. V. COOmbs will make the intro
duct Try address on the tirst night, filled
with patriotic sentiment adapted t. the
occasion, and Mrs Lock wood will give us

There will be latri, tic songs, glees, reci-
less other things to amuse and inst u,
those who come, and we advise every
body to attend the fair, to have some fun
and buy the wares offered by the Grand
Army boys. All the protest young Ia
dies in town have volunteered their ser
vices in various departments, and there
will be bushels of fun. Don't fail to at.
tend the fair and bring your best girl.
Atchison Champion: We notice in an

right here and now against this sort of

war for the Union, it does not follow
that he came out of the army pauper,
and has remained one ever since. The
men who lett the army unwounded and
in unbroken health. and thousands did
so, have kept up with their fellow-citi
zens in the race. Go into any Kansas
town and you will find that of the en-
terprising business men who have
reached or passed middle life, ma
jority served in the army. Many of the
mort prosperous men in Kansas were
soldiers. We do not believe the man
who was good soldier relishes this cry
