Angeles affairs, now that the Ma
tional Home is to De located here. \
letter before us, from an old friend at
the Yountvile institution, who many
years ago lived in Los Angeles, says
that feeling of great satisfaction exists
among most OF the veterans because of
the selection of the site near this city.
Many OF them are well acquainted
with the advantages of our locality
for such an institution. and look for
ward with pleasant anticipation to the
time when they will be enabled to
enjoy the beauties OF our scenery and
the benefits OF our climate. The
writer throws out Il hint that ought to
be acted upon. He says that now it
has been settled these veterans shall
end their days III Los Angeles,
every publication relating to our
county will be of especial interest to
them, and suggests that it would be q
godsend to them to have copies Of
our papers to read. We shall send q
copy OF TnE HERALD free to the
Home, and suggest that the Board OF
Trade or the Posts ought to take this
suggestion in hand, and see to it that
the old soldiers are provided with all
the literature we have relating to our
section. 1t would cot little COM
pared to the amount of qualification
conferred Tor some OF our public
bodies to subscribe for several copies
of all the Los Angeles publications, to
be distributed among the old soldiers.
