very healthy and prosperous condition. Peace
and harmony prevails among the comrades,

organization in New Albany elsewhere that
stands higher in the good character OF Its

the membership Oh tne 10SI, III is not SOOu
policy TO do at the risk of lowering the pres
ent high standing of the organization"

eral Orders thanks the retiring officers Cor the
attention and general efficiency displayed in
the Department work during this year. The
reports which are rapidly coming in show an
excellent condition Of the Department such.

favorable TO the Sens Of Veterans, and is doing
all that he can 10 encourage them.
IN last General Orders he SAYS: 1.-THE natural
ally Of our Order is the Sons of Veterans who
from the very nature of things binds the Grand
Army TO the Nation at large. The ties of
kindred and blood. strengthened by the cause
for which their fathers fought aud won, iusti-
les their organization at the bar of public
opinion AMI makes more glorious the memory
OF the eveniful deeds aud days of 81 to '65
The time is at hand when recognition of them
should be full aud complete, aud thereby bring
the Grand Army OF the Republic in close touch
with the Sons of Veterans in this Department.
The Sons OF Veterans the noblest types of
American manhood to-day-they carry with
them the memories of the past Many were
babes being cared for by brave-hearted mothers
at home while their fathers were following
old Glory generation raised by the
loyal aud patriotic women Of America, whose
tears and prayers admonished them in every
act TO be patriots their fathers were must
necessarily become the buwark of our patri-
otism. The boys of to-day stand where we
stood third of century ago. They are men
now, in whose veins flows your historic blood,
and IL danger comes to this country either
from dissensions within aggressi0ns without.
they will be found devoted 10 the great Ameri.
can Union and true TO the flag for which their
fathers fought"
