The Object and Officers Of the United Amer.
lean Veteran Association.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The nucleus
of this Association was formed at Dublin, Tex,
April 5, 1894, Immediately after the Reunion of
the Camp of Erath and Comanche County ex.
Confederate Association, and of the ninth an
nual Encampment of the Department of Texas,
GAR, at which time $50 members, composed
of ex- Union and ex-Confederate soldiers were
enrolled.
The objects of this Association are Friend
ship and Loyalty; to cultivate, encourage and
promote feeling of true and sincere friendship
between its members and others; to discourage,
denounce and bury all feeling of bitterness or
hate which naturally arose from war, and to
devote our best energies to the happiness and
prosperity of our country and each other as
brothers and American citizens, and to an un-
dying loyalty to our one flag and one country.
We ask every old soldier, regardless of which
side he fought, to carefully consider the objects
of this Association, and if he is true and hon.
orable man, good citizen, and was good SOL
dier, we trust he will join, hand and heart in
promoting the good feeling which for the pros
perity of our grand country should pervade the
breast of every American citizen and make him
proud of the dstt ctive honor of being United
American Veteran.
The officers of the Association are Pres, J.
T. Harris; Secretary, W. FL. Christian. Exec
utive Board, John Roche, r. T. Long, T. o.
Moore Ed. Ketchum, Jno. w. Parks.
Local organizations will be known as "Pick-
ets," and the officers will be President, First
and Second President, Secretary, Treas
urer and Chaplain.
We cordially invite all who are desirous to
join with US to form "Pckets" in every section
of the country. Wherever at least 10 ex-soldiers
of good standing in their community desire to
form Picket" and will apply to our Secre-
tary Mr.. w. II. Christian, Stephensville, Tex,
a charter will be granted and full information
given as to organizing.
Information will be cheerfully given to those
of other States who desire to form local and
State organizations, to the end that in the near
future we may form National organization.
The "Pickets" of this State will meet in con-
vention at Dublin, Tex, Aug. 2, 1894, and We
earnestly invite all to be with us who can.
For further information apply to Mr.. w. q.

The Hancock Status.

The model for the equestrian statue of
Mai.-Gon. Winfield Scott Hancock. in New York
City, is finished. The work has been accepted
by the Commission for Gettysburg Monuments.
When cast in bronze by Bureau Brothers, Of
Philadelphia, and placed on Cemetery Hill, ID
will be the first equestrian statue erected on Q
battlefield in this country.
The fact that the sculptor. F. Edwin Rlwell
formed this heroic statue with q free hand.
without recourse to the usual method of .
sketch model, probably accounts for its high
artistic merit. The horse stands in reatiess
position, one foot paving the earth. wiah hfa
head high and turned to one side. The whole
appearance of the animal is perfectly natural
and effective.
The General sits in the saddle in an erect,
commanding attitude, looking over the battle
6eld and pointing to Round Top in the distance.
His expression is one of absorbing interest and
concentrated thought.
Gen. Francis A. Walker, Col. Finley Ander-
son, and Capt g. L. 8. Ward, members of Gen.
Haneock's staff during the war, concur In the
opinion that the statue is q dignifed compost.
tion and that the sculptor has wrought out q
true conception of the Generals character. Nh
Elwell has been materially aided In his work
by Gen. Walker and Capt. Ward.

The Encampment at Louisville.


Enron NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue
of the 14th inst. find an editorial under the
heading. "Shall we go TO Atlanta?" whlcn
saws: 1.-THE enthusiastic applause whlch
greeted the fulminations of Cave and Rosser
has had one very positive effect, and conclusive,
and that is upon the place of holding the
GAR. National Encampmert of 1895. 1t 'o'!
aot Be south of the Ohio RiUer," etc. Permit me,
as an ex. Federal soldier who served more than
four wears during the late war, and who has
resided south of the Ohio River ever since, TO
differ with the sentiment expressed ia the
editorial named above so far as 1t relates 10
the place of holding the GAR. National En-
campment in 1895. Louisville, KY, whlch is
on the south side of the Ohio River, just across
from the good and loyal State of Indiana, is
candidate for that honor. Her people, IRE
sneetive of mast affiliations, have Joined in
inviting the old veterans to be her guests on
that occasion, promising true Kentucky hospi-
talitv to all; and can see no good reason why
the invitation should not be accepted, but, on
the contrary, believe there are many excellent
reasons why it should be accepted.
Louisville is centrally located, and is the
metropolis of the State which gave birth to
Lincoln, the great liberator and grandest Presi-
dent of all, who died a martyrs death, with
malice toward none" She is able, willing,
and anxious TO show her friendship TO the
bows who fought in blue and saved the Union.
The mission of the loyal men of the country
Is not yet ended. 1t remains for them to SOW
seeds of peace and good-fellowship in the once
troubled land. 1t would be unfair to the $4,000
loyal soldiers who joined the Federal army
from Kentucky, and the thousands who joined
from other States south of the Ohio River, TO
allow the location Of the National Encamp-
ment to be influenced by the rawlings of Rosser
the runner, or the Rev. Cave. whose utterances
smack of appointments in life, and an utter
lack of loyalty and Christianity.
Yes let us meet iu Louisville IN 1880, mix
with the people south of the Ohio River, give
encouragement to the thousands of old veterans
who reside there. partake of Southern hos
pitality to which we have been so cordially
invited, and teach loyalty in friendly way TO
any who perchsnce may need the lesson.
As we penetrated the South in 1s6l-65 for
the purpose of preserving the Union, let rs
now, 80 years later, step over the line for the
purpose of commingling with the people, max
ing their acquaintance and letting them become
acquainted with Us and our patriotic aims.
Do this, and soon the unpatriOtic utterances
of Rosser and Cave will fail to find lodgment in
the minds of an enlightened and loyal people.

Newport's Gathering and ctified Main street.
Walk down by that elegant piece of archter-
ture. the Congregational church, and note
what the true New England pride of the peO-
pie has been doing. If you have no home the
pretty models surrounded by cultivated lawns
that are kept green by splashing fountains
will put new inspirations into your heart and
you'll have a picture painted there that will
last forever. But the special character of
Newport. like that of Paradise, is more easily
imagined than expressed. Words cannot por-
tray the feeling that creeps over us while
viewing from the tOpmOst point of Prospect
Hill the location of Newport and her sur
roundngs. We stand and gaze and dream in
wandering silence. and perhaps indulge in
unreliable speculation AS to how long Dame
Nature studied before painting the Heavenly
picture. OF to the north, the east and west
and south are the gently undulating outlines
of hill and mountain very similar to scenes in
other portions of Vermont. but the presence
of that most beautiful of American waters,
Lake MemphremagOg. with here and there
point of land extending out into its depths
and yonder white sails and dipping oars
flashing i'm the sunlight, makes a view of sur
passing lovelness. The view from Pine Hill,

ton here while on the hills it had all abeen
killed. And it is a fact worthy of notei that
vegetables appear from the local gardens of
Newport as early as at any other point in New
England. In the year 1900 there were but 60
acres of cleared land in the town, six yoke of
oxen and no horses. The early settlers OBJ
tanned much of their food from the lake and
forest. Nenison and trout were as ''cheap as
dirt and money was almost unknown. The
men procured the food while the women spun
and wove wool and flax for clothing. The
first town meeting was held on March II,
1900, under the name of Duncansborough,
which was the first name. and which was
changed to Newport in the fall of 1885,. The
first town clerk was Amos Sawyer. The first
grand list was made in 1900, and contained II
names. The first school district was organized
Nov. II. 1907, and the first school house was
erected of .'hewed timber. six inches thick 30
feet long. Is inches wide." and the sum apprO-
priated for it was ''forty dollars to be paid in
labor, boards. shingles, nails, glass. &C."
