time, and give my views as to where the
next reunion should take place.
1t was with pleasure read in the report
of the last meeting of the club, that Rome
City. Ind, had been fsyorably spoken of
as the place for the 1891 reunion and
an here at this time to add that am de-
cidedly in favor OF that beautiful resort as
the place of the next meeting. / know
that objections have been raised as to that
place, and was not q little surprised at
the stand "0nly Sister" took in the mat
ter She not only opposes Rome City,
but seems to think Indiana should not
have the meeting al all, but thinks it
should 90 TO Ohio. 1t may be that il does
not rightfully belong to Indiana, as we
have had two, but if statehood ia to govern,
IL certainly does not belong to Ohio. as
that state had the first three meetings in
the history Of the organization. If it is
to go by states we must not at this time
overlook the claim that was made by the
West Virginia members for this meeting.
and if it is to be so, let them have it. /
certainly thought that all Indiana men,
bers, and especially those OF as along the
line of the g. r. & I. railroad, would
favor Rome City, but 1t seems that in
this / was mistaken.
As the the president has asked some one
TO give something concerning Rome City,
take it for granted that / am as we'll ac-
quainted with the place as any of the
members, having visited 1t at least once
every summer for the past twelve years,

A Fishing Party That Finally Finds Itself
I'm Church.
DEAR HOWARD FRIENDs-Msy 1 come
in? You must pardon me for coming 30
often.
! will give you description OF our fish
ing party of Saturday, June 6, of the New
Hope Sunday school, of about one hun
dred and ninety-three scholars in all. We
went to the Ohio river for day of fun.
The morning was spent in promensding
and fishing. After a gypsy dinner of fish
and oh so many other good things, the
distant peals Of thunder warned the
merry picnickers that it was time to seek
shelter. They then ran to farmers
chapel, as the rain began to pour down in
torrents. Songs were sung and then 1t
was made known that the youngest doctor
in the United States was present. He was
put upon the stand. He said that he was
Albert Finch of Georgia, aged five years
and eight months. He then gave the
names and where located of every bone in
the human body. He is a full member of
the medical college of Georgia and was
lately given ga gold medal as the
youngest member in the world. He
is a beautiful boy with large
curls that give him the look of girl. He
is, indeed, a wonder. The next curiosity
was Ada Boyd, or better known as Grand
view, the fat girl She is four years old
and weighs 10 pounds, yet she can move
with ease and likes to play like any other
child of her age. The sun then burst
forth, but the darkness of the evening
broke up the party. and each one went
home rejoicing.
Can any one send me the songs 1--WE

One Who Has Suffered by the Late War
Gives Her OpinIon.
DEAR II. L. G. FRIENDs-I see the sub
ject on the page is being discussed which
has caused the most distress in the world,
War or intemperance?
think those who have witnessed the
sufferings, distress and heartaches that
even the late war caused, can answer this
question. / know incompetence is bad
and very bad; has and is causing a vast
amount of distress and trouble in the
world, but / think war has caused the
moot. ] distinctly remember the distress
and suffering that the late war caused
and / can never forget it. No, never,
while memory lasts, and are there not
hundreds and thousands who have lost
loved ones by that cruel war who can say
the same?
No, Geraldine" thousands of our brave
men were not permitted 10 return to their
families. They are lying where they fell,
buried in trenches or in some lonely spot
on southern battle fields. Thousands of
women and children were left widows and
orphans to battle with this cold world and
many of them were left in destitute cir
cumstances.
My thoughts often wander to g lovely
grave in the state of Georgia. At the
battle of Atlanta my beloved and only
brother fell MORALLY wounded. He was
placed in 8 hospital where he bad to lie
three months and not one friend near 70

! drink Of water. Occasionally news came
to us that he would soon be able to return
home. We anxiously awaited his coming,

news that dear brother had passed away,
and at this writing his widow is lying
helpless in her invalid chair. Her health
was ruined in toiling and caring for her lit
tie children. and all she has 10 depend on
for q support is the small sum from
the government of $l2 per month.
Please note the difference il an ex-presi-
dent or general is removed by death.
Their widows are appropriated a pension
to the amount of from $1,000 to 5000 a
year and perhaps at the same time they
are living in luxury and have everything
that heart can wish, spending thousands
of dollars in visiting places of note and
foreign countries. Would it not be better
to divide this money between the widows
of the poor soldiers who fought and died
to save the union? l think it would be
better for many in this world and also in
heaven. There will be no distinction in
heaven. All must come wearing the same
robe, a robe of righteousness. None can
enter the beautiful city but those who are
clothed in This robe.
Now, as l am here, will ask what has
become of so many of the old writer's.
