TO the hearts OF the Grand Army aud the

der our sincere sympathy, and pray that He
who has them in lis keeping will comfort
them. The Grand Army of the Republic will
mourn a leader gone, wise counselor in their
meetings. and the hand-clasp of a loved COM
rade. The country has lost a statesman that
has left behind him an example of patriotism
and integrity.

be of interest to hear what a little Post num-

done. The Post is composed o. veterans of the
following regiments: Fourteen OF the 9th
Tenn; five, 81 Tenn. Cav; one, 9Th Telpa Cav;
two 9th Tom. Cav. Four OF the 81 TIM
Cav. are Suitana survivors.
Our Post was mustered into the ranks of the

decided 10 have permanent place OF meeting
which VIC could call our own, Our ranks be-
ing thin il did not take long 10 discover that
we lacked money to complete the undertaking.
We sent out foraging parties aud soon enlisted
the aid from the Sons of Veterans and other
LOYAL friends. This aid. with our own contri-
buttons, rendered us able by the 9Th of October,
1895 10 complete a beautiful building, fully
paid for.
The lot the Post h al is erected on is adjoining

is no reason why il may not become a very
