POTOMAC
The regular meeting of Burnside Post last Thurs
day evening was unusually interesting. Com
mander Ingraham at his post usual, and
Senior Vice Commander Dan Grosvenor, who is
even such an orator as Brutus was gave the COM
rades an extended and vivacious account of the
glorious time which the delegates to the National
Encampment had at Portland He was more than
pleased with all that had happened. He could
scarcely find terms to express his delight. Asst
Adit-Gen. Burger followed in the same strain,
and he was succeeded by Past Commander Pipes,
who supplied any deficiencies in the narration of
his predecessors. Comrade L. G. Granville, Com
mander of Geo III. Thomas Post, Kansas City, Mo,
was then introduced. He is very able and effect
i've speaker, and the description he gave of the
struggle that the comrades had in Missouri in
building up the Order amid the preponderance in
the community in favor of the rebel side was very
interesting and evoked hearty applause. He is an
enthusiastic Grand Army man, and adjured the
comrades to spare no exertion to keep the camp
fires burning brightly everywhere.
