The Campfire given by Mcintosh Post. last
night, was grand affair. The Opera House was
filled with people eager to listen to the oft re-
peatcd story of The Boys in Blue" for CRATE
full people will never forget that to the patriot
ism and bravery of these loyal heroes the pres
ervation of the nation Is due.
The exercises at the Opera House were pre-
sided over by Hon. George f. Robinson, who an
nouEced the name of each speaker and selection
The addresses were all short and to the point.
Seldom is an audience permitted to listen to so
many good things in SO short space of time. AS
the rounded sentef ces of inishi oratory fell
from the lips of the various speakers, the audi
ence responded to the different phases ofthought
and emotion in perfect s. mpathy to perfect
portrayal. The grave ard serious were so min
gled with the witty and humorous that the dark
and the bright sides of soldier life appeared in
stror contrast, and the audience were enabled
to form some faint conception OF the tie that
binds the hearts Of old comrades together in
such close union.
Noparticular subject was taken by any of the
speakers, their remarks being eloquent epito-
mes of what the soldiers did, what sacrifices
they made. how disinterested and pure their
patriotism, Snd what a debt of gratitude the
country owes them. Hearty applause attested
the unity of thought between the speakers and
hearers.
Owing to the abserce of j. o W inship, "a slight
change was made in the rcgranme. Rev. Dr.
W. Ii. Locke responded to the opening address
