SPLENDID PAPER READ BY CON-
RADE NORRIS ON HISTORY
OF ORGANIZATION

Thursday afternoon of last week
the "Old Soldiers" of B. R. Palmer
Post celebrated the Fiftieth anniver-
sary of the organization of their So
:. ciety, The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. An invitation was extended to the
Women of the Relief Corps to enjoy
it with them. A short program was
given and appreciated by all who were
fortunate enough to be present. The
principal feature was paper of his
torical nature by Comrade ]. A. Nor
ris. At the request of many of the
the members of both Post and Corps
Comrade Pratt gave a short paper
eulogizing the G. A. R. as an organ
ization, and giving some good sound
advice of political character. Com
rade Jenkins gave personal reminis-
,cence of events that transpired 81
years ago on April at the surrender
of Lee at Appomattox Mrs.
Lloyd, senior vice president of the W..
r. c., read an interesting article.
Miss Clara Carr sang two songs, and
all Joined together in singing some
of the favorite army songs.
The lunch served was delicious and
abundant, all the work being done by
the comrades. There were about 40
in attendance. The paper read by
'Comrade Norris is as follows:
"The passing of the fiftieth mile
stone is considered an important event
by individuals and organizations of all
kinds. Golden weddings, golden birth
days and golden jubilees are looked
forward to with great interest and
their celebrations are observed with
more or less pomp and enthusiasm.
"We are assembled today to cele-
brate the half century anniversary of
~the organization of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and I have been asked
by the committee in charge to give
short history of the event. I deem it
proper to briefly review the steps
which lead up to the formation Of the
order. The year of 1861 dawned up
ON the United States with ominous
clouds of dark forebodings. Some of
the Southern states, fearing that the
election of Abraham Lincoln to the
presidency would result in encroach-
ment upon the institution of slavery
which would prove disastrous to their
peace and progress, determined to
withdraw from the Union. Some of
the senators and congressman from
the south had left the halls of our no
tional legislation with treason in their
hearts and curses upon their lips. A
-vaccilating president was in the chief
executives chair and traitors were in
his cabinet. Gloom and despair cover
Led the nation as with shroud. On
Feb. delegates from the seeding
states met in Montgomery, Ala, and
"a provincial government was formed
on Feb. 9, which on March II was SUI
perceded by permanent government
formed substantially after that of the
United States. On March A, when the
immortal Lincoln was inaugurated he
was confronted with open rebellion on
one hand, an empty treasury and

to see firmly established the govern

every hand, but we trust that the sac
rifces of patriotism endured in its
defense shall not have been in vain.

Do thou our country save

the cattle in Indiana arc no better
bred, in fact are not so we'll bred,
as the cattle in the west. This
heavy growth is due entirely to
feeding and there is nothing to pre-
vent North Dakota from producing
lust such results. With our cheap
grass and the possibilities Of raising
other crops we can produce beef at
a much greater profit than can be
done in the states further east
