A New G.. A. Il. Post.
.ast Fridays Huntington Times.

Mr.. Geo, Folding, Chief Muster.
ing officer OF the Department of
West Virginia, Grand Army of the
Republic, has just returned from
Fort Gay, Wayne county. where he
mustered new Post with twenty
four charter members. The out
look for the new Post at Fort Gay
is very encouraging. as it is within
reach OF seventy-five to a hundred
old soldiers, The charter members
seem to have taken a great interest
in the matter of getting Post mus.
tered at the above place. Owing
to the train being late on Tuesday
MIR. Folding could not reach Fort
Gay that evening, which was the time
set for the mastering of the Post,
so he did not reach there until
Wednesday evening. Upon his
arrival there he found many old sol.
diers had come distance of from
tentotwelvemiles from the Surround
ing country and Ia d been
waiting there tive days to become
charter members OF the new Post
of the q. a. II. After the
mastering of the Post was over.
nearly all of the old soldiers started
Tor their homes, some Of them live
ing five and ten miles in the coun.
try, and most OF them going home
on foot This is evident that the old
comrades stillclingto the fratcrnalties
that bound them together when
they marched touching elbows and
drinking out of the same canteenand
sleeping under the same blanket in
the dark days of Rebellion. No,
those times will never be forgotten.
10 preserve and strengthen those
kind fratcrnal feelings which bind
together the soldiers and to perpet-
uate the memory Of their fallen
comrades aud to extend needful
aid TO the widows and orphans Of
those who have fallen, is the noble
object of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The same love that
bound Jonathan. and David to.
gether is in the bosom of every old
soldier, and why should any one
object to the entering into a cove
nant together and stand by each
other so long as life shall last, which
is not very long, with most of them
ut least. Shame on him who will
point the finger of scorn at those
old heros, and call the 6. A. Il. n
political organization, when the
teachings of the order are for so no.
