| who have not presented themselves for muster,
| and plenty more 10 work From the time was
| mustered. year ago the 10Th day Of May, until
| since the new officers were installed we were al
| most ut n sinnd-iill, but now everything looks
| promising. sometime ago the Grand Army sold
their hail. leaving the Sons without place "a meet

| rented a hall and gave the Post the privilege OF
| using the same and paying whatever they cUnsid-
! cred fair As to entertainments, We have done
| nothing OF public nature lately. but contemplate
