POTOMAC
The installation address of Comrade NJ S. Hop
kins when assuming the position of Commander
for second term of Kit Carson Post, No. g was
very eloquent, and we regret our inability to pub
lish 1t complete. We quote, however, one of the
closing paragraphs, as follows: We enter upon
GnnflU n
press us, even though the silver tingc and the
berer bearing of approaching age assert their pres
ence a little more distinctly. Our death roll for
1888 rejoice to say is small; only Comrades Fran
els Verneuil, J. Frank Miller Harry McNeal, Fred
erick Arbuckle and Thomas II. Evans having
been called to join The Grand Army of the Re
public above where this mortal must put on inn
mortality and Death is swallowed up in victory
This is a small mortality considering we are all
now on the wrong side of 49, and have undergone
more or less hardships in military service

F. NJ. Bishop, Salt Lake City: Our Post here,
James Ii. Mexican, No !, Department of Utah. is
f1ourshing, and that means great deal to one
yersant with the condition of affairs in Utah Or
ganizcd in 1870, il has kept its front to the enemy
and like signal light from it's station on the crest
of the continent has not failed to traitors to
the flag, that the men who periled life in ls6l-65
to perpetuate our Union are still ready and able to
for which they fought. On Friday, Jan. 8, Special

its dying kick as it surely will, we'll be there.
