Lee Has Surrendered Once More

A Lees Anniversary Surrender OBJ
sorvance occurred at Grand Army
hall. Tuesday evening, under the
auspices of Russell Post. Russell Re
lief Corps and company Of friends
being present as guests. Those
participating in the program were L.
l.. Walton, Mrs. Ellen NJ. Smith, Il. T..
Patten. Mrs. X "A Withee. Mrs. Emma
Dunton. Rev. George Merriam, Miss
Margaret Smith, S. +. Emerson j. N.
Smith, Mrs. Lizzie II Nye, Mrs A. F.
Bickford and Miss Ethylen f Mills.
Perhaps there would be no injus-
tice in speaking of Miss Mills as a
star of the program. She is eleven
years old the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Chester Mills Of Jackman and
the granddaughter of f. Marion Mills
commander of Russell Post. who pre-
sided over the program. This little
lady saluted in true military style as
she stepped up to take her part, and
her reading THE Grand Army Boys
was especially enjoyable on account
of her youth.
