tee begs to bow his exit in the capacity

by your most worthy president, T. C..
position was done under protest and
no amount of influence could have in
lduced your chairman to have taken
the responsibility of attempting to
write q column each week for q year,
excepting that am always anxious to
assist in any way possible those who
have assisted me. felt that to a great
measure the very active chairman of
the press committee for two years pre-
vious had added great deal to the
success of Post G. during that time
For the past year | have tried to write
for you such items of interest as came
to my notice and have composed them
to the best of my ability. / want to as
sure the members of the committee of
my sincere appreciation OF their as
sistance which has always been forth
coming. | also desire to extend my
thanks to the many members of the
Post who have SO kindly assisted me.
] hope that your worthy president will
succeed in selecting chairman this
coming year who will write for you

night. Final arrangements for going to
Muncie will be made.
Word comes from Muncie that pre-
parations are going forward for one
of the best entertainments accorded
the state convention for many years.
An elaborate program is being arrang-

Every railroad running out of Rich
mond has an early morning train ex-
cepting the c. and o. going north This
service on the part of the C. and o.
could certainly be improved upon.
Richmond travelling men are very
much handicapped in making territory
| between here and Marion and Rich
mond's express service Is very much
handicapped for want of an early
| train. The press very respectfully calls
President Harrington's attention to
this and would suggest if the post will
approve of agitation along this line
that he call the attention of his new
railroad committee to the matter and
see If something can be done to give
us the same c. and o. service that we
enjoy on the other roads.
The reports of the officers for the
past year will be read tonight Come

C's servants for the year just closed.
We think the reports will show they
have been a lively and busy bunch"
of workers.
