Manhattan Republican: Wednesday
| evening occurred the installation of the
new officers of @. A. r. Post No. 100, and
of the wOmen's Relief Corps. There was
a large attendance and the old soldiers
and the ladies were in good spirits, de-
spite the cold outside. Post COmman-
der Waring introduced Capt. Christy
who installed the new officers, conduct
ing the interesting ceremonies with
eloquent remarks relating to the work
the soldiers and the women performed
during the war, emphasizing the fact
that the women were the greatest suffer
ers. COmrade John A. Allen made a
short address. Abiding to the DAYS of
the war he said the men who went out
in answer to Lincoln's calls for soldiers
did not 90 for the $I3, or $17 per
month, but from patriotism and they
had no regrets for what they had sut-
fered, through hunger, on the long
marches, on the bloody battle fields
or in prisons. He complimented
the @. A r. for the work it was doing
in caring for soldiers in distress, and com
plimented the Relief Corps for their
labOrs. Abiding to the three ages of the
world, the Physical, the Intellectual and
the Moral, he said that this was the In
telIeCtual age, but the moral age was
coming on, when not strength of body
nor Of mind was to bethe ruling force
in politics, At the conclusion of the
Installation a squad of fOragers brought
IN baskets Of apples, peanuts, hard tack
and bacon, which they had picked up
somewhere.
Yates Center NeWs: Col. Stockton
came up from Toronto Saturday evening
and installed the officers of WOodson
Post No. 185, G. A. R., in a manner to
prove cOnclusiVely that he understands
lis business and is worthy of the conf
dence reposed in him by the Department
Commander. The officers installed, in
addition to those before reported, are as
follows: Geo. E. Faler, Post Adjutant;
Z. @. LANCE, Q. M. S. and w. 0. Meserve,
Sergeant Major. Fully fifty comrades
were IN attendance and an excellent
time was enjoyed by all. The Post now
has a membership of 95, and, nOtWith-
standing a few ventures which failed TO
result advantageOusly, from a financial
standpoint, may now be said to be en-
tering upon the highway to prosperity.
A vote Of thanks was rendered the retir-
ing officials for the tireless zeal with
which they discharged their several du-
ties during the past year. The Post is
growing in very satisfactory manner

ant IN this part Of the State.
