THEIR JOINT INSTALLATION
Old Soldiers and the Relief Corps
Held IA JOINT Installation
Friday Evening.

The gathering of the Grand Army
and the Womans' Relief Corps in the
newly furnished post rooms Friday
evening was a most pleasant one, the
occasion for which was the joint in
stallation of the officers of the two
orders.
The attendance was large and the
rooms were filled to their capacity.
For a month OF more the rooms
have been torn up and the orders
have had either to adjourn their
meetings or hold them elsewhere.
Since the rooms in the basement of
the library building have been inn
proved they present a very attractive
appearance, and we doubt if there are
better appointed rooms in the state
than those of Ransom post. Ih.
cement floor was laid over with hard
pine, the walls two-thirdS of the
way up from the bottom ale covered
with burlap and painted a maroon
color, while at the i%uncture of the
walls and ceiling the room is decorate
ed With a Gilt border with IA strip of
pictule moulding a little lower down.
The combined effect is indeed very
attractive. Two large rugs cover the
floor while rugs also cover the plat
forms in the room. I'm the Kitchen
the walls were painted and two new
cupboards were built for the accom-
mediation of the ladies in getting up
their meals for entertainments.
The improvements in the two
rooms cost the post and corps S425.
but as they have plenty of money it
WAS we'll expended. During the cap
ital campaign the Relief Corps ladies
served meals for mearly TWO months.
i'm which they were assisted as far as
possible by the Old soldiers, and they
cleared $1,000. so after their eNpend-
itureS They have a goodly sum left to
carry them tor a number of years.
During the campaign they also en-
teItained d nnlaher of posts AT meals
toi Which NO change was ma;ie, lie
sides entertaining either people,
whieE they considered was an en-
pense OF MT least 500. Tlc ladies
and old soldiers worked hard and they
are licbly entitled to the comforts
they ENJOY.
