LADIES OF THE GAR.
News of Interest to Oklahoma Sisters


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The work oil
the Order in this Department is at present un.
der the watchful care of Mrs. Ida Gamer, De.
partment President. In her efforts to make the
Department stronger and more effective she has
been sadly bampered by the general stagnation
of business and by her own i'll health. We
trust, however. that Oklahoma will make a
good showing in the National Convention a,
Louisville.
Ga the occasion OF the annual installation oil
officers of Ellsworth Circle, 2, Kingfsher, which
was conducted by the Department President,
she also inspected the Circle. Mrs. Szemore
President of J. A. Garfield Circle, IL, FL Reno,
accompanied Mrs. Gamer. and gained many
new friends among her Kingfsher sisters By
the gentle sweetness of her manner Very
after her return Mrs. Sizemore's home was
the scene of the saddest accident that could
possibly befall il. Her little son, about eight
years of age, was fatally burned by the expIo-
sion Of coai-oil eau, and after lingering a few
days. died. In sorrow like this sisterly SYM
pathy goes out TO the bereaved as il we mourned
for one from our own household.
The session OF the seventh annual Conven.
ton or the Department was held at Perry be-
ginning April 90. The presence of the National
President, Mrs. Nettie Z. Gunlock, is assured,
an honor which will be thoroughly appreciated,
no National officer Of our Order having yet
visited us.
The GAR. Posts and the Circles OF the
Ladies of the GAR. are in perfect accord and
harmony in the work in which they are mu-
tually interested. In view of this fact, and also
that the Department officers of the GAR are
warm friends of our Order. we hope to achieve
greater work in the near future and win a
higher plane in our National council than ever
before. Yours, in F.. c. and L.,
Mrs. Allie Hopkins. Department Correspond
ing Secretary. Kingfsher.

HARRISBURG REUNION.
Third Division, Ninth Corps, Army OF the
Potomac, Will Meet April o.

Potomac, VIII Meet April o.
The fourth Reunion ofthe veterans compris-
ing the Third Division. Ninth Corps, Army of
the Potomac, commanded by Ma. -Gen. John
F. Hartranft, will take place at Harrisburg,
Pa, April 9, 1895, the Both anniversary of the
surrender at Appomattox.
The Pennsylvania troops comprising this
division were the 200th, 205th, 20Ith, 2Ootn,
209th and 211th regiments. On the banners OF
this organization are the scars of war made at
Bermuda Hundred, Weldon Railroad, Hatcher 8
Run, the siege of Petersburg, Fort Steadman
and Fort He'll. 1t is, therefore, eminently
proper that the survivors should again meet In
Reunion and revive the memories and ac-
quaintances of the years when, as soldiers OF
the Republic and in the fortunes of war. they
discharged with fidelity whatever duties were
imposed upon them.
Arrangements will be made for excursion rates
over the leading railroads, and orders for ex-
cursion tickets will be furnished. Information
regarding the Headquarters of each regimental
organization, the time and place of each regl-
mental Reunion, the rates at the leading hotels,
will be given in subsequent circular from
these Headquarters.
Comrades of this organization should be i'm
pressed with the fact that but few more Re-
unions will be held. and it is desired that the
Reunion in April may not be only an enjoyable
occasion. but that it may also be attended by
every comrade who can possibly be present
Gen. Park, our last Corps commander, and
other commanding officers and members Of
their stats will be present, well as the family
of Gen. Hartranft. all of whom take great in
terest in the organization.

arrangements to revive the Northwest

that il will be held at Stryker. August
80 September l. There are four
churches in the Association viz
Bryan. Stryker, Lyons, and Walbridge.
Except Bryan and Stryker. they are
widely separated, and communication is
poor; consequently the attendance can
not be large. Still it will do good for
the churches to meet together as fully
as possible for the promotion of fellow.

cause generally. We regret that other
duties will prevent our attendance; but
there will be no deficiency in ministerial
help, as Revs. E. D. Jacobs. o. L. Wales,
George Thunderstorm, and Bro. G. w.
E. Gossow will be there. The revival of
the Association, Bro. Jacobs says, is to
be largely credited to Martha Moore,

BLENHEIM.
The friends at this point have papered
their church which gives a much more
pleasant and attractive appearance to
the interior. Mr.. Yates, young man
who had studied for the Episcopal min
istry, is preaching for the society twice
a month. He at one time preached here
for the Episcopal people. or Church of
England as they are usually denomin-
ated here in Canada.

The Ontario Convention met here in
June last. Prior to the date of the Con-
vention the church was lastly calso-
mined, and the windows refrosted, to.
gether with some other repairs. The
church now presents much more in
viting appearance. The convention SER
vices we're we'll attended. and the preach
ing services ably conducted by Rev. H.
W. Smith. of our Bloomfield parish.
Soon after the Convention Mr.. Yates
visited here and was engaged to preach
twice month. This gentleman, though
young. is possessed of fine pulpit ability
together with thorough education. He
possesses an excellent voice; and his
singing wins the admiration of ALL Good
congregations greet him here and at
Blenheim. When fully settled down to
work in our own ministry, we believe
this young man to be possessed of the
qualities requisite to successful minis
terial career.

We hear very favorably from this East

Of Acton, Mass. is earnestly engaged in
the work here and at the thriving town
of Picton, four miles distant. This latter
town is the birthplace and home of Rev.
S. H. Robin. OF Boston, whose record as

point to with pride.
