 Winter Post had rousing camp fire last Friday evening, having as guests the W. R. c. and s. of V., besides many oth- CTS. Fine instrumental music was fur nished by the M. B. church orchestra of six or more pieces. Miss Gertrude But terfield gave several cornet solos, and there were also recitations, etc. Midway of the exercises Miss Buttterfield sounded the call which to soldiers means "fall in for rations," and there was season of re- freshment heartily enjoyed by comrades and guests. No feature of the evening was of more interest than the reminis- censes of veterans. Commander Con- when captured in the Red River cam paign, where he was wounded and left for dead on the field of battle, lying there from Friday until Tuesday. He was a prisoner for but 90 days, but had lots of experience within that time. As pre- liminary himself and comrades were stripped of every bit of clothing that his captors could make of possible use to themselves. Comrade Druley told of the recent state encampment at Danbury. An dea gathered there was endorsed by him and enlarged upon in way to awaken thought. It related to the aged, depend entveteran, with pension insufficient to SUD- port himself and wife to the cruelty of sepa- ration of life long companions or of send ing them to the almshouse. At the sol d1iiergs hpn1g aE Noroton only veterans are taken; the beneficiary must leave wife behind. At ,Danbury the idea was to en- dow system of cottages in connection with the Noroton home, where couples might have the benefits of that noble in- stitution and not be separated. MT. D. sug- gested that theidea might be worked town wise, houses being provided and the pen sion pittance added to in cases of deserv- ing people,. The thought was commended to the consideration of eomia ades and of the W. R. o., and it will be as we'll to give others chance to digest the same idea. Among those present were the par ticipants in the Dairymaids' Festival, who, it is understood, are likely to repeat their pretty entertainment in aid of Win ter Post.
