SOLDIERS MEETING.

Dear sir: As you have so generously
opened the columns OF your paper In
the past to many reports of the soldiers
meetings we again ask space to give an
account Of very pleasant meeting
held at the residence of Comrade Linus
Clark, of north Brown township, on the
4th inst. in honor of his 63rd birthday.
Mr. Clark's war record is perhaps I'M
surpassed by any old soldier in Ed
wards county. Having enlisted July 6,
1861 IN Co. B 21st Missouri, and was
mustered out at New Orleans April 10,
1866, making a continuous service Of 4
years, 9 months and l3 days.
Comrade Clark passed through many
fierce engagements and endured many
hardships, yet upon the occasion above
referred to he wssN in high spirits
and cordially extended welcome hand
of friendship to all his old comrades
and friends who had come to celebrate
his anniversary for the first time in
this capacity. Notwithstanding the
day was pleasant the audience was
not so large as has been reported upon
some other like occasions bnt what IL
lacked in point Of number was doubt
less made up in enthusiasm. A very
sumptious and palatable repast was
served at high noon to which the old
soldiers and invited guests all did full
justice. Dinner being over each one
sought out an easy resting place and
enjoyed, for a time, the beautiful sun
shine and balmy breezes that character
ICES May day in western Kansas. Af-
ter giving the ladies little time TO
clear up the dining room we were all
invited to the parlors to listen TO some
thrilling experiences i'll war history.
LII this matter, however, they got a lit
tie out side of the camp, and, as they
called it, mustered in some new re-
cruits. F. D. West made the opening
address in which he expressed his
praise aud sympathy for the old sol
diers. Among other things he said:
s"The Union soldier had been instru-
men tai q the hands of Almighty God
III per tTptiudtlES lHS Sttuufst - stcuI vi
government in the known world"
The next address was made by Mr.
Ramsey in which he did credit to him
self and the occasion. Then came the
Old soldiers by turn, Ct mradcs Gill,
Denny, and Trotter al ia well chosen
words gave their personal experience
with the enemy causing both laughter
and tears. Last but not least came
Comrade Hearu who gave very inter
esting account of his army life and in
his closing remarks denounced in blist-
ering terms the recent political course
persued by some of his old comrades.
The speaking being over music was
called for and by urgent request Com
rade Trotter arose in very dignified
military attitude and said: 'Of such as
I have given I unto thee, 1 only know
one army song and 1 always sing it
| first, and he then rendered his favOrite
| ballad The Army Bean" with such me-
lodious strains that the great singer
Patti might have been put to shame.
TLis was the closing scene and after
profusely thanking Conrade Clark and
his aimabe wife for their unbounded
hospitality they adjourned to meet at
Comrade Buffers on Saturday the 18th
| inst.
