THE third annual reunion of the Mexican
County G. A. R. Association, which was helo
at Smethport last Thursday, was an enjoyable
occasion. Many prominent speakers were
present.
THE seventh annual reunion of the seventy
sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers
(Keystone Zouaves), was held at Beaver FANS

ent parts of the State were present. The next

Now that Grand Army Day is passed, with
the attendant work and worry, let all the en-
ergies be put forth toward the work of recruit
ing. Commander Stewart thinks that with
proper work the Department of Pennsylvania
should have $1,000 members by January l. 1880.
GENERAL THOMAS CIRCLE No. 24.Ladies of
the G. A R., will hold red white and blue
social on Thursday evening, October 10, at
Odd Fellows Hall, corner Eighteenth and
Sarah streets, Southside, the proceeds to be
used for the benefit of the relief fund OF the
circle.
FROM the Washington National Tribune is
taken the following: There are whisperings
throughout the Department that Major A. P.
Burchfield, of Plttsburg. will be the next De;
partment Commander. Comrade Burchheld
was Senior Vice Department Commander few
years ago.
AS no afidavits as to the number of men
turned out by any post on Grand Army Day
have yet been turned in to the Committee of
Award, the matter of which post gets the hand
some flag given by the late Captain W. R. Jones
has not been decided. 1t appears that either
Post l62 or 2O6 isentitled to it.
Posi- l62, which was the banner post of Allie
gheny county at the end of the quarter ending
July in regard to the largest percentage of
increase in membership, at the close of the
quarter ending October l is shown to have
larger increase than ever before. So the ban
ner continues to wave in the same place.
THE Fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, will hold a reunion IN this city on Sep
tember IL, 1890, at which 60 survivors are ex-
pected to be present. The newly elected officers
