OF the Grand Army in this village, as we live 20
miles from any Post, but the spirit of f., C. and L.
eomrade Albert c. Hale 177th N. Y, who has large
family of young children TO support The other day
we thought to give him little surprise, and 100 of
his acquaintance and friends went with baskets of
provisions and captured his house, after which we
had splendid supper. When that was cleared
away we ushcred Comrade Hale into room where
the presents we had prepared for him were dis
played Among them was an extension table, set
of chairs. tea set 100 yards Of cloth for bedding,
barrel of flour, sack of buckwheat flour a new
clotheswringer, tea kettle, coffee pot % pounds of
sugar small bureau. besides butter, canned goods
potatoes and iniinity of utensils and goods used
In housekeeping. The affair was most delightful
one, and as may be imagined Comrade Hale and
his excellent wife overwhelmed at the gener-
osity of their neighbors.

3D." Portsmouth: Bailey Post, No. 164, was
visited Friday afternoon and evening last by our dis
tinguished and much esteemed Department Com
mander, X. b. Brown, of GAINESVILLE o. We never
had SO large an attendance of comrades and Post
Commanders before in our County. There seemed
to be a thorough awakening the part of the
membership. We presume this is partially the
result OF the excellent organizing and governing
ability of our Department Commander. The
members of Bailey Post were not looking for
large n turnout. The hall was crowded. The
Department Commander electrified the comrades
OF the County and surrounding Posts with his
fervld, impassioned address to the comrades iii
the hall In the evening the Post held Campfire,
at which there was large attendance The speak
Ing, singing and music ut night was public, and
the Baptist church was full to overlooking, besides
large numbers who were unable TO get seats.
Department Commander Brown here, at the
afternoon meeting of the GAR: Posts, made the
leading address. Beside him, however, Judge
Scarf, Rev. DIR. Pratt, Rev. Work, Judge Harper,
N. w. Evans and others made addresses.
