ACARD.-In behalf of the Col. Pres
ton Post G. A. r., we take this method
of--eXtending our thanks to all who
Subscribed money for Decoration day
expenses, and especially to the ladies
who not only this year, but for the
past three years have so generously
and cheerfully contributed food and
assistance on Memorial day. l also
take this method of stating that the
original subscription paper showing
SIG subscribed and paid, together with
nv bill of expenses, for every item of
which hold vouchers, is in the hands
of Lyman Brown, member and the
agent of the Post, and can be seen by
calling on him or the Post Quarter
master, Russell Moore, Esq, of Wells
River. The $50 appropriated by the
town was also paid into and expended
bv the Post. The Col. Preston Post
are neither thieves or knaves and can
show where and how the fifty dollars
were expended. Full grown men who
have no other business than to help
circulate a scandal, yea a lie that the
"orator and president of the day must
have received large share of the ap-
preparation as gift" had better sweep
over against their own doors. Men
will come out like men and demand a
showing, but sneaks will always sneak.
