THE LONDONDERRY SITTER.

for brave men Not all the heroes
are to be found in the rush Of battle,
or on the lonely picket rounds, 1T
requires men of courage to stand hrm
in our country's honor IN times OF
peace. To see that human rights
are maintained, that wrongs and OPP
pressions are forbidden, and justice
meted to all, without respect OF per-
son or place. To see that good men
aud true, are the ones appointed 10
ill our public offices, men that can
not be bribed or bought. This is the
duty of the men of the present time
if we would avoid future calls to arms,
and it is for this purpose this Camp
was organized. And if the time ever
comes that the last camp fire is kind
led, and there are none to answer the
roll call, then, 1t is the wish of Mrs.
Laura Holton Stebbins, Mrs. Aurora
Holton Taynton, and George Way
land Holton, that this precious me-
mento shall be given to Charles War
rem Holton Cor his descendents), son
Of Major VIM. H. H. Holton, of the
9Th VT. Vol. to be preserved in re-
membrance of the patriotism of the
name he bears. Please accept this
memorial in the same loyal spirit in
which it is gwen, and may it ever be
an incentive to do your duty, in all
that Is required of every true Amerl-
can citizen.
