Comrade A. NJ Warmers latest Order contains the


Posts and comrades to the Sons of Veterans 1t Il
an Order of which we may be justly proud 1t vii
stand by the flag when the Grand Army shall have
gone. 1t will decorate our graves with the flowers
of Spring when the last comrade has been lai1
away. 1t will always stand for loyalty, charity
truth good citizenship, and the dearly-przfd In
situations of our country. Let us. then, encourage
help, sustain and cheer the boys in their noble
Order. Rally around them. and they will ever
| rally to honor your memory and your valiant
deeds.-A bill has been introduced In the Senate
of Ohio to provide cottage at the Home in sam
| dusky for comrades and their wives, so that In
their declining years the veteran and his good and
| faithful wife may not be separated To state the
case is 10 present the argument therefor. This bi
commends itself TO the intelligence of all good cit
zens act of undoubted justice and right.
| While the soldier was fighting the battles OF his
country, the devoted wife often engaged in n
| direful conflict with want and trouble at home.
| Reunited after the war, they continued together
the struggle for existence. with loving hearts and
| steadily weakening hands. But the time comes on
| apace when, unable longer TO provide for them
selves. they must separate. The soldier can go to
a comfortable Home at Sandusky. The good ola
wife must go to the poorhouse. This has already
occurred in many instances. Shall this be IN ONO?
Comrades, all the influence you have with your
Representatives in the Legislature to pass tins bill
at once. Be urgent and determined, ana ADOPT
! strong resolutions in this matter, and another
wrong will be righted by your efforts IN this grand
