From. The Home

Mr.. Potter Of Dodge City is superin-
tending the removal of eleven buildings
here. and his first act was to cut an old
land mark in two, where many a soldier
rested his weary bones after hard fought
battle with John Barleycorn. The guard
house will now be transformed into a
school house for the education of the ris-
ing generation of boys and girls whose
fathers wore the blue.
Brother Saunders, the colored preacher.
held services here Wednesday evening.
and held his audience spellbound, and, as
l heard afterward converted good many
who were unbelievers in the Bible. We
have two other members here. who pro-
fess to be expounders of Scripture, but
neither attended the meeting of our col
ored brother, whereas, if they had, they
would have learned something to their
advantage
Our Doctor has had a weeks spell of
sickness himself. and, in consequence.
could not attend to his hume rous patients
at sick CALI and. as a result, they all
got well and reported tor duty before he
knew anything about it.
Mrs. Lippert, a member here. is very
low and not expected to last many days.
Misses Susie and Fanny Morrow, two
young ladies of this place, departed Sun
day on visit to their father, Dave Nor
row, at Ingalls,.
Mrs. Sughrue of Ashland was visitor
at Mr. P. F. Sughrue's few days and
left for home Saturday last.
Misses Nina and Bertha Wright. two
brilliant young ladies and daughters of
our Comrade Owen Wright, late mem
Der here, are expected back from Meade
the latter part of the week. where they
have been visiting some young lady
friends for couple of weeks.
Miss Mertie Bird. a grand daughter of
Socrates Goodman, a member here and
late recipient of a pension. paid this place
visit of a couple of days. Al her &C
qualn;ances were very glad to see her
again after an absence of three months.
Mr.. Prince, an old veteran 70 years of
age. late member of this Homie. cele-
brated his birthday on Monday. Septem-
her 14th. by giving some of his old friends
and comrades big dinner. He has also
cut and stacked about eighty or humid
red tons of as good hay as can be found
in the state with the assistance of Mr.. P.
Cobb and his son. They will have plen-
ty for sale in the spring.
The health Of the members here is re-
markably good and everything is work
ing in military precision. We drill three
times daily here and that is at the grub
table" when all are present and account
ed for. Several Of the old boys are miss
ed at fatigue CALL" but then they are
all up to the ropes and the duty is light.
Brother Saunders, by the bye, who is
doing the chimney work here. was arrest
ed last Wednesday by P. F. Sughrue,
Chief of Police. and brought before the
court" which was composed of d. l..
Sweeney, Commandant, and Quartermas
ter Mitchell. and was fined the nominal
sum of one dollar, for breaking the rules
Ui the Home and conduct prejudicisl To
the discipline Of the Home. IN that he.
Saunders. did walk on the gras, across
the parade ground. The boys say, that
on account Of his preaching for them last
Wednesday. they will take up u tarpaul-
in muster and pa y his fine.
Major Geo. Barlow, the veteran of so
many years service here and who acted
a. guide to the TrebllcOck party who VS.
tied the Home lately, must surely have
them when he let out that no
more than five thousand troops were sta
toned here during that White river OK
pedition. He forgot, however, to men,
ton to them about that flag that as cap
tured at Bull Run. Then he would have
opened their eyes. But then these are
only some Of Major Barlow's lightest
ones. QUINDARO.
