by the Sons of Veterans and is known
as Union defenders day. This year

cises in observance of the day in the

The exercises will be of patriotic
nature and will consist Of music and
addresses. Hon. A. A. Putnam, Chae
H. Bates and Edwin f. futile will de-
liver short addresses, and the camp has
been very fortunate in securing the
Hon Austin S. Cushman of New Bed
ford as principal speaker of the even
ing. Mr.. Cushman was the first mem
Der of the G. A. r. in Massachusetts,
and nearly third of a century ago
founded and became first commander of
the department of Massachusetts.
Now at the age of 10, Mr.. Cushman is
permitted to enjoy the respect and
love not only of his comrades but also
of grateful people. He is q living
epistle of patriotism, and a worthy rep
sentative of the honored few who are
left to tell the story of the great ma
tional conflict in which they played so
important a part. Already the public
schools have been invited to attend, and
the people Of the town are requested to
turn out en- masse to do honor to the
venerable patriarch of the Massachu-
sets Grand Army of the Republic. His
subject will be the ethical influence Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic" a
subject which can but be Of interest tol
