TALK TO HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS.
Comrade George s. Kimball Repre-
sented Davies Post and Gave Some
Interesting War "reminiscences.

Responding to an invitation to adj
dress the High school pupils on per-
sonal experiences during the War of
1861 1885. Comrade George $. Kimball
gave iifty-minutcs' talk Friday af
ternoon to about 200 people.
1t has been customary for several
years for some Comrade of the Grand
Army of the Republic to talk to the
rising generation. previous to Memorial
day. Last May, Commander John Me-
Comb told the pupils about Gcttys-
burg and for one hour and thirty min
utes held their closest attention. His
description was entertaining and in
structive; made a deep impression on
the minds of teachers and scholars.
Comrade Kimbalrs talk was on Far
raguts fleet passing the batteries a
Port Hudson, and the subsequent sur
render of Vicksburg. He also told of
assault by our troops on land, later,
near Port Hudson, in which his regi-
ment. the Twenty-sixth Maine, shed
much blood.
Comrade Kimball showed that this
country is grand and glorious. because
the men and women of the sos were
willing to forfeit property and life. to
give it a further lease of freedom and
insure to coming generations greater
blessings. He inculcated the idea that
the boys and girls of today are to as
sumo great responsibilities, and that
in order to properly do so they must
qualify themselves To maintain the
principles for which the boys in blue
contended. Several members of the
post were present. and were cnthus-
astic. Comradc 1[imball's talks are
ever full of interest
