A Cordial welcome Extended BY the
W. II. @. 90 she COunefI Of Aaminis-
tratfon.
An exceedingly cordial welcome was
extended the members of the Council
of Administration of the Grand Army
of the Republic at the new department
headquarters Friday night. To say that
all enjoyed themselves would be but
putting it mildly. Judge Buck deliv-
cred the address of welcome in a very
feeling manner, and the response was
by Gen. A. B. Campbell of Topeka.
His remarks were witty in the extreme.
He dwelt upon the good reputation
which Emporia bore for entertaining
visitors in private and public. Also Of
the manner in which the council had
heretofore met and returned to their
homes without meeting the people of
the city in which they convened. He
closed by returning thanks to the w.
r. G. for their warm reception.
Quite a number of surprises were in
store for those gathered in the rooms
among which was the serenade by the
Emporia Band. In the midst of the
social they appeared at the foot of the
stairs and rendered one of their choice
selections. They were invited into the
rooms and rendered sRecolIections of
/ the War; which called forth much
applause from the old comrades
Other members not on. the programme
was ''Old Shady sung by Major Tom
Anderson and the song by Campbell
and Anderson. We've drank from
the same canteen.'' The following is
