ANNUAL SHAD BAKE
OF BURNSIDE POST

In every war in which this country
has yet engaged there has been a lack Of
loyalty by some body of men who
formed the opposition. In the revolution
we had the Tories, in 1872 the Wings,
In the civil war we had the Peace Demo
Gratis, or Copperheads, Of the North, and
In the war with Spain. the Anti-Imper-
iahsts"
This was the main thought brought
out by the Rev. Father David Buel, in
his address yesterday urging more loyal
" in the nation during time of turmoil
and war. The address was delivered at
the annual shad bake of Burnside Post
Army of the Potomac, G. A. r., at Mar
shall Hall
DR.. A. J. Huntoon was elected to act
as presiding officer. George B. Hazeltin
delivered q patriotic address.
Time showed its grim work among the
original members during the calling of
the roll of the charter members of the
post. Beside the recorder stood a man
who, when no response was made to a
name, would call out Dead" or
Transferred" and many a brave old
soldier had his name read yesterday
who had been called forever from the
post and campfire.
