VIM J. Root Bdjutant, TalihiEa, writes !:
"Joe Hooker Post, assisted by the good people
OF Talihina. observed Memorial Day. We
decorated last year, but the Southern sentiment
was so great here that they ridiculed us but
this year the stores were close. We had Me-
mortal sermon preached Sunday. Ii was
preached by an old ex Confederate soldier, and
be gave 3 noble sermon, and made us great
many friends. We are trying TO break down
the barriers between the old soldiers of the two
armies"
