NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCED.
Leo J. Kester has been for eight years n
reader of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. and thinks
10 should be in every home where patriotism
is honored. His father served three years in
the 11th Ind. and was in the battle of Shiloh,
of which he has good history. He is fond of
music and good books and would be glad to
exchange letters with the &C.
Blanche Davis is loyal Southern girl, to
whom We are all sure to extend warm well
come.
Nora Miller is introduced by Chaplain Nc
Murray. She desires an exchange of letters and
autographs
C. c. Rollins, in presenting the name of Irwin
Burkett, says he is not only the son OF a soldier
who served four years in the Union army, but
that he is in fullest sympathy with all veterans,
and would like to see every man who bore arms
for his country draw a pension. Writing for
himself and friend, Burkett, our correspondent
says:
We wish 10 compliment Harry T. Stockton
on his excellent article, and think a bright
future awaits him. We are always glad to see
patriotism even in a small boys nature, and
are waiting for the time when Old Glory shall
wave from the top of every schoolhouse in the
land
Chaplain Frank McMur-ay's sermonette,
in last weeks issue, consider very good,
it contains strong sentiment and solid fact.
We hope many may profit by his words"
