A. j. Teed of Mattawan was well
come caller at The True Northerner
office the first. of the week. Mr..
! iced has recently returned from
Vicksburg Mississippi, where he
spent two weeks in attendance at the
"Peace Jubilee" There were about
ten thousand veterans of the Civil
war in attendance and they were
about evenly divided between the
Confederates and Union soldiers.
There were two Mess halls, accoma-
dating about five thousand each and
all sat down to meals together. The
U. S. Government appropriated
$150,000 for the expense in camp, and
many states paid the transportation
expenses of the soldiers. Michigan
however was not that liberal and our
veterans paid their own expenses.
