SECOND BRIGADE ENCAMPMENT.
They Meet in HlllsbOrO and Have
Good Time Generally.

The Second Brigade Encampment OF
the Sons Of Veterans met in this city
last Wednesday and held very success
ful meeting.
The Brigade was first organized at
Greenfield October 9Th, 1889, and con-
sists of Highland, Fayette, Clinton,
Brown, Pike and Ross counties, and
has for its objects the better organiza-
tion and general good of the order.
The Brigade is still ip its infancy, but
with that nearly 200 members we're
present and participated in the busi-
ness meeting which occupied all of
Wednesday, during the day.
The organization was made more per.
feet, rules and regulations adopted, and
the Brigade is now fully organized and
ready to receive members from every
camp in the district. The time OF next
meeting is October 9Th, 1891, the place
left to the option Of the Commander
elect, but will in all probability be held
at Wilmington. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
Commander, G. F. Doner, of Highland;
Major, G. G. Bambach, of Brown; Brig.
ade Council, Chas. Eckert, Highland,
Joe T. Doan, Clinton, and w. H. Boyd,
Pike.
Mr.. Doner is the well.known and
popular engineer of the fire department
of this corporation and is an enthusiastic
worker in anything he undertakes. He
will be the right man in the right place,
and the Brigade will not suffer under
his command. His staff, as yet, has
not been selected.
Major Bambach is prominent young
lawyer of Ripley, o., and the members
Of the Council are all well qualified for
their position.
The campfire in the evening was the
event of the meeting. Long before eight
o'clock, the meeting time, the Armory
Hall began to fill up with visitors from
the city while the Hillsboro Military
Band discoursed sweet and appropriate
music on the street below.
At p. M, when D. @. Morrow, of
this city, the selected chairman of the
meeting, called the crowd to order the hall
was literally packed with the best peo.
pie Of the town, and more magnificent
audience never before was seen in this
city on an occasion Of like nature.
Capt. D. M. Barrett, of John M. Bar.
rere Post, was introduced, and in short
but pleasant speech warmly welcomed
the visiting members to the city, which
was responded to in an able manner by
Hon. Harry G. Armstrong, of Xenia.
Col. T. A. Walker, OF this city, elo-
quently and feelingly referred to the
scenes and struggles of the late great
contest and the old soldiers of to-day.
Col. w. E. Bundy, of CINCINNATI, fol-
lowed with we'll delivered address in a
happy rein, which frequently brought
down the house.
The entertainment from the stage
closed with an excellent selection from
81 Klegg's army experience read by
] Miss Margaret G. Carson in a manner
which reflected much credit on the
reader, and highly entertained hel
| hearers.
The chairman then announced that
the bean supper was free to all, and the
remainder of the evening, until very
late hour, was spent by the crowd in
enjoying peep at real army life and
getting acquainted with the many strsn
gers present. The Brigade and the
campfire was success, and the boys
will be welcome when they come again
