For convenience would recommend that
each one provide himself with sufficient
eatables to last through to Louisville (put
in paper boxes that can be thrown away
when empty, also a tin cup to procure
coffee en- route. BY so doing you Will save
the jam and inconvenience of eating houses,
for it is well known tact to all who ever
attended National Encampment that rail-
road restaurants are overcrowded on these
occasions. w
The Department of Vermont will fall i'm

suit brass buttons. regulation hat, cord,

cedarS will be carried by these Headquar-
tiers to furnish all. 1t is hoped that none
will stay away because they lave not
blue suit, but fall into line and do their
mite to make the Old Green Mountain State
