Atlanta campaign and was elected
captain by the company and placed
upon the roll Of honor by Major
General Rosecrans of the army OF
the Cumberland. He organized the
Rockford Rifles in 1876 and was
elected colonel and commanded the
third regiment 1. N. G.. for seven
years when he resigned. He was
postmaster at Rockford under the
Hayes and Garfield Administrations
and is in the lumber and coal bust =
ness. He has been commander of
G. L. Nevins post of Rockford for
twenty six consecutive years. He
has also served as member of the
department council of administration
and junior and senior vice COM
mander.
Commander Adams opened his
address by congratulating Pittsburg
on its loyalty now as well as during
the days of war, citing it's liberality
in caring for the soldiers from the
west on their way to the front as
Philadelphia had done for those of
the eastern states. He then re-
ferred to the fact that four months
confinement in hospital had pre-
vented him from fully attending to
his duty, but having received the
order in such excellent condition
from his predecessor, and being SO
ably assisted by his comrades, the
order had not suffered by reason of
his di ability.
The membership of the order he
said, is as follows: One year ago
there were in good standing 397, ,223.
There have been gained during the
year by muster in, Is, 1852; by trans
fer, 1884; by reinstatement, IA, ,O36:
by reinstatement from delinquent
reports, 2,519. Total gain, 80, ,661.

Total loss, 67,084.

The commander added:
''These figures show that the G.
A. r. has reached the beginning of
the end, and each succeeding year
will show gradual deer ease in our
membership. The long continued
depression in business has caused
many suspensions, and these we hope
to regain when prosperity returns,

"During the year the Grand Army
has not forgotten the great work of
charity and has expended 1908, ,78O
for relief. While it has lost in mem
bership, the interest in the order
has not been abated, but has grown
stronger. The little bronze button
was never worn with more pride
than it is today, and the enthusiasm
of comrades in Grand Army work is
everywhere apparent.
