| on which the exercises were held but tC
| those living outside this community who are
| privileged to read the NeDS we have but tC
say that, though we have nothing against
| the y orthfield NeDS, yet for the benefit oil
the correspondent we do not wish people to
| think that Ainsworth Post of the Grand
| Army of the Republic is so sunken and de-
graded that it can find no other place in OF
| upon which to honor those who risked
their lives from 81 to "a and are now sleep
| ing their last long sleep. Such is not the
case. The fact is simply this: The condi.
| ton of the Ne,CS' correspondent at that
| time was such that he did not know
whether the exercises were held under a
wagon-shed or where they were held, for
before they closed he was brought in tc
answer to a charge of disturbing the
peace" which, mingled with the scent OF
| alcoholic drinks, made it cost the young
man several Mortified Ne,CS subscriptions
and would have cost him more but for the
tears he so copiously shed on the bosom Of
one Of the fathers of the town.
