Stewart, of Post No. g. and Jonas Uudercapper of
Post No 3D. IL is the intention of this oTganiza-
| ton to give mammoth excursion to this faYorite
seashore resort sometime during the Summer
taking comrades from all the Posts with their fami-
| lies and friends The usual Grand Army Day
parade and exercises held each year does not meet
/ with general approval, the comrades have de-
sire whatever for any more marching than is neces
sary. An excursion in which all the Posts would
take part, it is thought, will meet with universal
/ approval, as the comrades can in this manner OBJ
serve " Grand Army Day, and, at the same ume
| spend day of enjoyment and rest at the seasoTe
with their families. 1t is in your correspondents
opinion an idea that cannot help to meet with
! favor throughout other DEPARTMENTS
IHstead of taking these long, and in fact, NONSENSE
cal marches let ali the Posts in different localities
| sometime during the Summer or Fail months join
together and give either excursion or picnic to
| some Summer resort, and in this manner enjoy
| Grand Army Day" This subject, comrades, Is
worthy of your attention,
Three public schools in Pittsburg will give a

ago by the Charters Cemetery Management, and 10
located in small suburban town near Pittsburg.
