The Encampment,
Another citizen's meeting was held
Friday evening at the city hall at
which time final arrangements were
made, tbe $500 which the finance committee have so long been working for
having been subscribed, those at the
bend of arrangements felt tbat proper
entertainment for the veterans is a
surety. The attendance was not
large, but those who did attend are
surely interested in the coming encampment. Tellers being appointed,
ballots were cast for an executive
committee and the following named
gentlemen were elected to this responsible position. E. M. Mussell, S,
C. Kirkbride, A. E. Canfleld, J. A.
Jackson and L. E. Davy.
The committee of two years ago
were in various ways handicapped,
much to their displeasure, and profiting by this experience they demanded
the making of all contracts, payment
of all debts, procuring and paying for
all supplies, and the disbursement
arid collection for badges. In other
words, the committee elected have
charge of everything pertaining to
the encampment, and we feel sure,
that, three of the above riamed gentlemen having acted on the committee of'97, whatever they do will be
done thotfully, intelligently and to
the satisfaction of the reasonable
public. These gentlemen should be
supported by every citizen, Let it be
remembered that it will take from
twenty to thirty days' work from
each, and hard work too, add doing
thii* witliont salary, the person who
prefers charges againist these gentle
men without any grounds whatever
should be court-martialed. This
might remain unsaid were it not that
two years ago the committee were
unjustly censured. Let the spirit of
helpfulness possess every citizen and
the committee thus well sunported
will manage the encampment to the
satisfaction of citizens and guests.
