c. a number of George II. Legate w.

the new hall of Williamson Post and
Corps, on Friday evening the 9th. 1t
was an occasion of which both, may
well be proud. A very warm greeting
was rendered the visitors, who greatly
enjoyed and appreciated the superior
exercises of the dedication. Music,
recitations, reading and speeches fol-
lowed each other, in rapid and unfal-
tcring order. The program was called
in rotation by Past President, Mrs.
Mary Carter, who introduced the SUBJ
iect of the occasion in brief but bright
words. Commander Strong read an
account of his visit to Washington as
a Delegate to the Encampment, which
left an impression with his hearers.
that he was very good story teller,
both witty and wise. Mrs. Charlton
of Brodhead, responded to a call, with
an original poem, in her usual graceful
and happy manner. Adjutant Whit
ney of Madison gave an original
rhyme, which he titled Quartermas-
ter Ben" Many other songs and
recitations were given and ALL were
of merit. The old, stirring war songs
were not forgotten. The luxurious
supper that followed was feature not
to be lightly passed over-the FOR
AGING of the ladies must have been
extensive. Upwards of one hundred
