Il. %. Tyler Post are arranging q memorial
service in memory of their lato beloved comrade,
Capt A. G. Bayues, in whose death the Grand
Army loses one of the D0blest men that ever
wore button. He was one of the grandest,
greatest, and most enthusiastic Commanders
that Robert o. Tyler Post ever had. and al
though his social position was high there was
no man in the Grand Army to whom he would
not extend the right hand Of fellowship as
q comrade. His love for the old veteran was
one of the tenderest loves of the human heart,
and his charity was not the charity of symps-
thetie talk, but that broader charity that gives
literally in the hour Of need.
